you know, in the end, any of your opinions don\'t matter. solid sales numbers from the past ten months has had the DS in the lead by up to 100,000 units each month. it\'s consistently been the leading console in Japan, outselling all others combined. it\'s just stupid to assume that interest in it has suddenly dried up. people are just waiting for lite.

look, consider this: the reason why the PSP outsold the DS wasn\'t because the PSP sold more (and just by a few hundred units I might add). it was becase of a sudden drop in DS sales.  there\'s a fairly simple explanation: people are waiting for lite. next month, when it finally does come out, PSP will be back to selling 1/4th the number of DS\'s.

It was bound to happen eventually...DS has been out longer therefor the people who wanted mostly already have it, PSP hasnt been out as long so common sense would say that eventually the PSP would outsell the DS.

They\'re waiting for Lite. That said, the PSP is bound to outsell the DS eventually.

It has a steady stream of games, a lot of them decent. The problem is that it (to date) has rarely featured AAA games. I\'m sure that the DS release schedule will cool down from time to time giving a boost to the PSP and PSP games.

dude.. c\'mon.. now I said DS is outselling PSP by up to 100,000 units each month, but I have sinced realiesd that those figures are actually each fucking week. PSP has no chance. DS caters to nubs and there are a lot more nubs out there than l337\'s. although that\'s not to say the DS doesn\'t have much to offer l337\'s.

honestly, saying the PSP will eventually beat DS is like saying XBox will beat PS2. they\'re not even in the same leauge.

Its strange how well the PSP is doing so far compared to the DS.

At the beginning I wasnt surprised since they were both new and didnt have many games.

But now the PSP still doesnt have many AAA titles.The DS clearly surpasses the PSP.

I think what sells the PSP is the fact that its more powerful and because it can do much much more.

I am still waiting for original AAA titles to be released on it but I see nothing yet.

Only newish game I saw recently that makes me want to get a PSP more is Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection.And I hope you can compete against real players online.

the period between the DS Lite announcement and the DS release is an abberation. a massive anomoly. situations like these are the only things that\'ll help the PSP. once the Lite is out PSP will once again be relegated selling 1/4th the number of DS\'s. I don\'t think slight DS cooldowns or minor PSP woowoo\'s is going to make much of a difference. it really is like xbox vs ps2.

Every time I hear Australia, I can\'t help but to think god damn shithole with monster sized faggots living in it. And boomerangs.
