PSP loses to DS in November.

[mollipen]

DS sold 734,000 units in Japan in january

has to be the biggest non-launch month ever in the history of Japan

And those numbers were seriously short due to the shortages still very much causing problems.

March 2nd (DS Lite launch day) is going to be a riot over there.

Look at Reggie's track record, the man knows how to market very effectively.

No he doesn't. At very best, he pumps up Nintendo fanboy retards that are already going to buy the products anyway.

The GC was completely salvagable at the time he joined Nintendo, but under his watch it's instead gone through a long and painful death that's rightly made Nintendo the laughingstock of the home console industry. That's good marketing?

The success of the DS has fuck-all to do with Reggie, considering it's quite easily the LEAST advertised Nintendo product I've seen brought to market. The DS has done well despite NOA's marketing efforts, not because of them. The games and ONLY the games are what are selling DSes.

Gee, like it's his fault Zelda has been delayed? Now stop whining and go play Chibi Robo or Drill Dozer (two other titles you would not have gotten under Lincoln or Arikawa's watch). And never said anything even remotely that the DS's success was because of him for crying out loud.

There's steps that could have been taken to avoid having the GC release list look like a barren wasteland. Nintendo Puzzle Collection comes to mind as a painfully obvious and simple localization, and wasn't Giftpia already mostly translated? Plus, deals could have been made with 3rd parties to co-publish, like they did with Namco on Tales of Symphonia.

He only released those two because i threatened him in that other thread. I would've threatened anyone else too.

Imagines Finch wearing a little Sanrio frog suit, holding a time bomb and a flame thrower with an ominous grin on his face....

[Finch]

No grin. Only hateful glare. D:<

[1CCOSA]

Super chibi cute hateful glare?

The Cube had more flat out good games than Xbox

if your preference is fruity Japanese games.

[Finch]

I... I don't know what you're talking about.

I have something like 20 GC games, 10 Xbox, and ... like 50 PS2 games...
