Haha!!
I'm really not that bothered to be quite honest. The PSP has come close to MATCHING DS sales for the first time since launch and people begin to celebrate?? Haha!! It's already a million ahead, wait for Jump Superstars, Pokemon and even Yoshi next week and that gap will just grow and grow...

Nah, I don't care mate. Just looking back to some of his older posts and this guy is the dictionary definition of a fool. If he doesn't post stuff a week after it's already been argued about he just posts random comments and quotes other posters!! :lol
PLUS, he's a Man United fan by the looks of things!!!

Why is it the same every week?
Enterbrain numbers come out and the PSP fans rejoice, celebrating the fact the DS is still outselling the PSP, but by less than last week. Then the Media Create numbers are released, the gap grows in the DS's favor and the PSP fans go silent (or bitter). It'll happen again today and happen again next week and again in the weeks after that.
Peoples need to realise that both systems are selling out. The PSP was at about 90-94% sellout, while the DS was at the same rate (and possibly higher). The DS is limited by supply, the same as the PSP. DS sales are not going to just dry up, while the PSP remains strong. Even if the PSP does start beating the DS, it has a million units to go before it catches up.
These threads suck.

This has nothing to do with logic or whatever (and your implied "logic" isn't exactly making sense, either). There have been many reports regarding DS availability; the consensus is that they are not exactly rare.
We'll see next week, I guess...
LOL, exactly.

Fool.
PS2s were nearly impossible to get in 2000 (and even all the way until Spring 2001); yet hundreds of thousands were sold during that period.
I haven't seen an XBOX in retail for a month -- how did they sell 1 million in December?!?!?

It's a good game that grows on you after a while. It's just a REALLY sloowwwww game. It is one of the slowest paced games I can think of in recent memory. You have to really be in a certain kind of mood to get into playing it, and it sure doesn't mesh with the mood most portable gamers are in unless they're sitting at home already.
I can totally see why the sales are bad. It's just not a very likeable game from the outset and is more of an acquired taste.
I don't think, realistically, anyone can choose MGA over MGS3 and I don't think anyone was saying that.

You obviously missed the sarcasm.
My point is that this whole "well PSPs are sold out, if loads were available it would outsell the DS"- why?? How do you know? Nintendo shipped 1.5m DS in 2004 and sold all of them. That surely shows that they too are selling as quickly as they can produce, surely?
And now by the looks of things, stocks are starting to get low in many places while any new shipment of PSP's is being snapped up pretty quickly.
It's just not as simple as:
Low DS numbers means not popular since there are "loads" around
Low PSP numbers are due to shortages
DS is also starting to feel the squeeze a little bit now by the looks of things...

Bickering over inconsequential numbers (there's a 1k difference, and it's just one week) - CHECK
Anecdotal evidence used in said bickering - CHECK
No conceivable end in sight unless there's a lock - CHECK
What an ugly thread this is going to be.
Sony Vs Nintendo in the handheld market is good for competition, but bad for gaming forums everywhere. Fanboyism enters the handheld market?

It doesn't matter if both consoles were from sony. Or it was sega an microsoft. Or chocolate vs cake. Makes no difference. Some people like to follow things like this and see how one does compared to the other. Some people support one, some support the other. What's the problem?
Spiderman vs Attack of the Clones
Harry Potter vs Lord of the Rings
FIFA vs Pro Evo
Radiohead vs Nirvana
Michael Jackson vs Madonna
People like a good duel and to bet on who would win- Celebrity Deathmatch anyone?
Why don't people just go back to their "what features would you like to see in Madden 2009" threads and leave everyone else to it??

Yeah, of course, I'm not against the curiosity and hedging bets on how certain things will do... but it doesn't matter enough for us to berate each other.
Especially one weeks sales.
