The DS is a gameboy, Nintendo is the king of the handheld market, so it was to be expected to sell lots. I dont say it is bad or Nintendo should have done more. The GBA sold 71 million in some 5 years, even if it was not the fastest 5 million seller. Both is impressive but seen in a context it isnt special/suprising/unexpected whatever you want.
You believe anything PR people try to tell you? Come on, it is a portable machine, it plays gameboy games and with its release GBA sales went down. It is a next level gameboy with 2 screens and a stick.olimario said:The DS is not a Game Boy. It wasn't marketed like one and it isn't called one.
Third Pillar for the win.
They probably wait til their fiscal year ends with that. Would be a little unbelievable right now.monkeyrun said:look forward to Sony's 15 million PSP worldwide PR any time now

That might be truekaizoku said:I haven't paid much attention to what you've said i.e. read all your posts. I agree with what you're trying to say - but I don't agree with the way you go on about it, seems its annoying everyone! lol
sensational and unprecedented? 71 million in 5 years = 14 million a year. How is 10-12 million in a year sensational and unprecedented. Great...yes, fantastic...OK, impressive (like the predecessors) yes.kaizoku said:Nevertheless, the speed and manner which it has performed this year is sensational and really quite unprecedented.

How many million units did the GBA still sold this year? And wasn't the DS facing tremendous competition in 2005? This tells us that the DS isquetz67 said:sensational and unprecedented? 71 million in 5 years = 14 million a year. How is 10-12 million in a year sensational and unprecedented.

GBA sells quite OK, because they dont stop releasing new editions and there are alway people that dont have the money for the latest stuff.marc^o^ said:How many million units did the GBA still sold this year? And wasn't the DS facing tremendous competition in 2005? This tells us that the DS is
1) a 3rd pillar indeed
2) not hurt by the release of the PSP, meaning these 2 handhelds are really opening new markets.
What system are you most interested in.malek4980 said:What was the question that was asked?
What system do you plan to purchase in 2006? If so 15.5 percent are lying... :lol
Really, is it that why the US GBA sales are still bigger then PSP and NDS sales?quetz67 said:You believe anything PR people try to tell you? Come on, it is a portable machine, it plays gameboy games and with its release GBA sales went down. It is a next level gameboy with 2 screens and a stick.

...13 million now sold worldwide.
The figures, which cover actual sell-through rather than shipments, show Japan leading the world at the end of 2005 with over five million units sold, followed by North America with four million and Europe with 3.5 million...
quetz67 said:...and 13 million for DS sold through
psycho_snake said:Do either of you have PSP sale number. I appreciate that you both helped me, but I was hoping for more accurate PSP sale numbers, rather than shipment numbers
quetz67 said:Just waiting for Sony announce a similar # of PSPs sold.
quetz67 said:DS:
NA: 4 million (shipped? sold?)
JP: about 5.5 million (shipped and sold)
Europe: about 3.5 million (shipped? sold?)
PSP:
NA: 4 million (probably shipped)
JP: 2.8 million (sold)
EU: nobody knows, 800K in the UK, maybe about 3 million total
My guess for total: 13 million shipped for both with about 9-10 million for PSP and 12 million for DS sold through
HooDoo said:3.5 million yet only 800K in England, maybe people will get UK is not so relevant once for good.
Donnie said:You do realise there are around 45 countries in Europe right? Yet the UK alone has 23% of the entire European DS sales. If that's what you call not so relivant then I don't know what is..
