Nintendo DS sales expectations

[Jeremy]

Other than the FACT that NINTENDO IS TEH DOOMED? No.

The PS2 sold so well so quickly becuase it had a DVD player. The PSP has a DVD player that can only play a select few movies and the PSP cost more than a good reliable portable DVD player on the market right now. The price of a DVD player is around $175.00 The PSP at its bare miniuim is $200. The price of the PSP is not worth it.

The Mp3 funcion will have to compete with Ipod and their dominance over the Mp3 market. If Sony markets that aspect of the PSP it will be competing with Apple at the same time. If they market it as a DVD player they have to compete with Panasonic, Toshiba and the numerous other companies trying to gain dominance in that market.

3rd party support for the DS is about the same as the PSP. The reason I beleive 3rd parties will support the DS is becuase it already has a much bigger share of the market than the PSP. If the DS sells 5 million units and the PSP does not debut at that high a number then 3rd parties will jump on the DS.

So the PSp has a 3 way fight with multimedia entertainment giants. Good Luck Sony,becuase your going to need it.

Nintendo needs to hire remnant. He's emulating their ridiculous spin jobs so well, and he's not even being paid to do it.

Since when does the PSP have an MP3 function?

[jarrod]

Both PSP and DS will do fine in the market, DS probably slightly better as GBA tapers off. Anyone who thinks either platform is going to fail is fooling themselves.

OMFGNinja is the perfect example of a TNL poster. Instead of coming up with a counter argument he just post some stupid attack.

[LOL]

There is no counter argument for blind favoritism and willful ignorance.

So where am I wrong? the PSP is not trying to break into the portable DVD market? the DS is not outselling the PSP in pre-orders? The DS is not selling better then Nintendo expected?

[Rumpy]

He's just saying you sound like Nintendo PR agent.

Okay,so what. I still want to know how am wrong?
