Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Has Strikers come out in Japan and I totally missed it or something?

Oh I see, MC are now referring to it as the 'DS 1', they obviously know that the rumor of Nintendo making a 'DS 2' announcement on Jan 16th is TRUE TRUE TRUE
I'm joking by the way
:lol
It's funny how tools come in week after week complaining how everyone is a nfan and masturbates to sales and only since Easter started has "accepted" PSP sales as being "okay."
Well at least the Sonyboys aren't gloating this time around, perhaps they have learned their lesson after doing all that gloating when PSP was out-selling the DS weekly in the first place. Maybe when Easter resumes we can all finally have peace...
What am I saying, even if some people stop gloating there will always be someone to start and always be someone to say all fanboys masturbate to sales. How sad.

reason why PSP finally outsold the DS
Bandai today announced Tamagotchi has shipped 1 million units
http://ds.ign.com/articles/680/680964p1.html
This will soon be Bandai first million seller in Japan sinse the Super Famicom (Dragon Ball Z 2) days.

For the non-japanese: Famitsu Top 30 (2 weeks: 2005/12/19-2006/01/01)
Did anyone think we'd get Xbox numbers in 2006?
If Media Create thinks it makes sense to track down Xbox sales which are ~150 every week, what does this mean about the other consoles?
Will we see GBA numbers throughout 2007?
GBA SP / GBM / GCN numbers throughout 2008?
PS2 numbers throughout 2009?
And what do you expect first - the Xbox 360 dipping into triple-digit sales for the first time or Xbox selling less than 100 units permanently?
If the first were case, we could see numbers that look like this:
Xbox360 -981
Xbox - 117
That would seem quite humiliating for MS... I guess that's the reason why we still get Xbox numbers, after all. :lol

Would you like me to post it at the top of every new page as well as edit it into each of my posts in this thread?cvxfreak said:Ah. Still might be wise to post them on the latest page so no one misses it.
BTW here are some nice pics that I'd like to see PSP fans do some photoshop work on for this thread.

Those Japanese, if they'd just held off buying just 50,000 DS's that one week when the DS sold over 600,000, then there'd still be enough DS's left on the shelf for it to beat the PSP! But no, they just had to be greedy and buy up all the DS's. Now I fear the momentum is shifting. Nintendo = teh D00m3d!!

the software chart says easter is still on. The more PSP hardware that is sold and the less PSP games sold, the more...

The difference is DS not being an eloquent paranoid schizophrenic who believed to be the son of the mixture of an inexistent God and his adulteress mother, ending his life condemned to death, being the main character of the most best-selling book worldwide, and leading millions of people to ages of darkness, misknowledge and opression.
BTW, DS is a great console :lol

Here's a question: can someone (Fuzzy?) give us the "sold to date" totals for each of those systems, kind of like what is done for the games? If there's only rounded numbers for a few or no numbers at all, that's fine, but as many as possible would be extremely helpful.
Just out of curiousity but how popular are mmorpgs in Japan? I know its an absolute craze in Korea, but thats a very different environment.
I've always had the impression that the internet hasn't quite taken off in Japan the same way it has in the West, and most internet access over there is mostly via mobile phones so its very different to the way we use the net.
Anyone know better?
Do you think xbox 360 will see a big boost once it gets its token RPGs and Biohazard games? Maybe enough to be an actual contender?

Think about it. the DS has sold some gigantic number of consoles since launch. How many people in japan could actually be considered a market for a portable console, and of those how many already have one? We may have hit a point where everyone who wants a DS has one, and we'll start to see sales decline as a result.malek4980 said:

Not saying that sales won't decline as I do think that it's nearly impossible to sell another ~4.15m this year in Japan, but I do think that DS will have a fantastic 2006 with hardware sales of about 3.5m.

heh. just another toss off theory to go with the rest. It is an interesting question from an economic perspective though. How big is the potential market for a product like this anyway? What kinds of numbers were they expecting to make, and what are they looking at now after their phenomenal christmas season? Raw sales data is very interesting unto itself, but i'd love to hear what Nintendo and Sony market analysts have to say from their own viewpoints.
As for me, i bought both upon arriving in japan, so it's just an idle curiosity =)

Ridicoulous.
If a machine sells like Nintendo DS - so fast, and with a peak of 600.000 - and break all records, it is impossible that his sales go down so fast, and in just a week.
It's clear that there's stocks shortages.
If you had right, the PS2 wouldn't have cumulate 2 millions machines in 2005 anymore.

The question is how the market sees the Nintendo DS. If Nintendo is right then one part of the market (the gamers) see it as a 'successor' to the GBA and therefore it has a potential of selling to 15m+ GBA owners. And then there is the 'non gamer' part of the market, which (again, if Nintendo is right) will (or already has) be interested in this handheld cause of (non) games like Nintendogs or Brain Training and then perhaps even buy 'traditional' games like Mario Kart, Seiken Densetsu or whatever.
I do think that DS has proven that it is able to catch the GBA audience and I also do think that DS has proven that it is able to catch the non gamers, so a user base of 15m+ should be expected (if they don't release a successor really early).
