Wanted: TOTAL sales for PS2, GC, XB

[Rem]

Better hardware, yes. Better games, that's debatable. Sales and quality are two separate issues though.

I know I was a big hater of the psp, but it's gotten a very respectible library (of capcom games I want ). I still would like to pick on up, just not thrilled with the idea of spending so much on a handheld.

It's puff, puff, pass not puff, puff, puff, etc....

The funniest part of this quote is imagining Yoshi kicking back, watching Hannity and Colmes while toking a giant spliff.

Or it could be the fact that the PSP has better hardware and games.

we can eliminate that possibility pretty fast, it does have better hardware though, so you are half right.

For a while wasn't sony only giving numbers of units shipped on the psp?

That's what I was thinking. Knowing the source of the sales numbers would be the better angle.

So the PSP is in fact outselling the DS, even though it came out much later.

Apparently not:

The DS is handily outselling the PSP in Japan I think, like 60-40 or maybe even 65-35. Not the case in the rest of the world.

Im not trying to diss the DS here (really!) but I think Japan's "taste" is becoming very very different from the rest of the Earth. The market is quite different from Europe and the US and that difference is growing. That has MAJOR implications for the future.

Oh, it's much more dire than that. DS has been selling 150k+ a week (and often closer to 200k) over there for a while, whereas PSP's moving 40-50k on a good week. The ratio is closer to 75-25.

I don't get the DS/PSP debate. The handheld market is big and sophisticated enough for a high-end multiplayer and a fun gimmicky platform. Who cares about unit sales?

Thats just nonsense. Japan sucks. I think both are trash, anyway.

edit: anyone else notice that Yoshi is so fast to bring sales into the Xbox/PS2 debates but discounts them immediately here?

this is a chart from GAF of LTD sales by month of PSP and DS for the US the DS is ahead in total sales by 1/2 a million or so



in Japan its a HUGE gap, I can't find the chart for Japan on GAF but it's out there some where

I believe in Europe the PSP was outselling the DS untill Nintendogs came out and then sales turned around and the DS is now ahead of it in overall sales
