Poke-Rev: Yea the US sells are a monthly thing. The ones GS posts is just the ranking on number of game sells. O_o
Yep, the ones over in Japan loves their games.
I find it sad that you can show that list of sells to a Sony or Microsoft fanboy and they'll still go on about how much the PSP is beating the DS. -_-;;

Edgeboy: Well I'm glad it helped. And I'm guessing you never played Kingdom Hearts (the one on the PS2)? XD

It might, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I mean the GC sells isn't all that good anymore. But I guess from now till the Rev it might pass the X-Box (it might get a boost then LoZ: TP comes out).

Oh and here's a little something about the DS.

Not really.
DS Sells
US: 4 million
Japan: 5 million
Europe: 1 million

Japan has the most (no shocker there) on DS sells. But the 2.5 - 3 Mil PSP sells is what gets me. I mean for such a "great" system how come the US (and I'm sure both Japan and Europe) beats out the PSP sells by 1.5 - 1 Mil sells?
So much for the stupid idea of the touch screen. XD

Yeah, I bet Phil looks a little stupid in the gaming world with his comments he made, looks like a child's ability to like Pokemon beat the PSP's ability on multimedia playback.

This one is my favorite from Phil:

"The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance, those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress."

All you have to do is look at recent news stories across the board to realize Sony is terrified of the Nintendo DS. This is a classic and transparent smear campaign.

Anyone with half a brain knows that Sony is in serious trouble with the PSP yet few people who actually own one are willing to step up to the plate and admit it.

Be brave. My PSP and I are willing to stand up and shout out that the PSP isn't worth it. I paid way too much and got suckered into a waiting game. The whole time, playing my DS instead.

The PSP is too expensive, too fragile, too slow (loading times) and too battery hungry to be a serious contender, especially when there aren't any games for it. The PSP is neat, but not a good portable game system.

Sorry Sony. I'm not being suckered next time. Next time, I'll wait till your product is in the bargain bin and I'll scoop one up along with the 2-3 decent games.
DUDE! YOU'RE WHAT FANBOYISHNESS IS ALL ABOUT! WAY TO GO!! XD

As for the durability .. my GBA SP can fall on a PSP, and the PSP'll shatter. Nintendo's the pro at console making, and they know what a portable needs. A HARD body to smash against.
<_< My friend's PSP is SO boringly stupid, it took an entire half hour to just load Radiata Stories in it.

The DS is selling like crazy in Japan man!!! Check this out:

DS Sellout

It actually sold out, that's pretty good and it also says that they have sold more than 13 million which means that Nintendo was being conservative with there sales numbers.

13 Mil. That is a good number for a system that's disliked so much (sad that even some Nintendo fans don't like the idea of the DS).

Yup, 13 mil is a lot!!

New numbers from the land of the rising sun:

DS - 390,181 (Sold Out)
PSP - 110,741
PS2 - 78,646
GBA SP - 15,998
GC - 12,579
Xbox 360 - 12,300
GBM - 11,234

With the DS being sold out this will give the PSP some room to breathe and to go on top in the charts which can only mean one thing: Sony fanboy attack!!!!!!!!
GBA - 447
Xbox - 121

Even in my home town Wal-Mart the DS is doing good. I just got back from Wal-Mart and I didn't see any DS systems and also no GC systems. I saw PSP, PS2 and the most shocking, 3 XBox 360s (that's right, the system that was on back order till March and was going for 2-10K on EBay, 3 of them sitting there at one of my Wal-Marts).

The one thing that I can never get is, who doesn't have a GC, PS2, X-Box, DS or PSP by now? I mean I know not ever gamer is the same, but look how long the GC, PS2 and X-Box has been out. But they still get sells. O_o

Anyway I now have Metroid Pinball. It's a great game, I like it a lot. And my brother just got Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (and a Spider Man 2 game for the PS2, but no one wants to hear about that one since it's a PS2 XD). I'm sure all of you are thinking "You just now got LoZ: WW?", well yea. I could just never get past the Cell Shaded look. I know it has killer ratings on the sites, and everyone says it's a great game. But I just couldn't get past that. But he has the money, and asked what he should get so I picked up LoZ: WW and told him to get that.

That makes a grand total of 89 games we own. XD

Wow 89 games!!! On current gen systems or all together?

I have about 40 GC games and that's only because I found one of those GC game carrying cases with games in it, I have about 20 that are actually mine or my brothers.

I agree, who doesn't have a game console know-a-days? All of my friends have at least one with a couple with 2 and at least 2 with all three. Just about everyone has a GBA, SP or not, a lot of people have DS's and some have PSP's including my friend who is a graphic whore and thinks the one with the pretty graphics is the best. I try to tell him that it's all about the games but there's just no convincing him, he's brainwashed.

Anyways, I don't know if I've asked this or not but what are your next gen predictions, fanboyism aside please.

These are my predictions:

Consoles:

1st: PS3
2nd: 360/Rev
3rd: 360/Rev

I think the battle for 2nd place could go either way between the 360 and the Rev IMO.

Handheld:

1st: DS
2nd: PSP

I didn't count the GBA because...........I don't know but I just didn't.

89 games for all gens together.

I know the PS3 will end up first. The only reason why it wouldn't end up 1st is it being crappy, costs an arm and a leg, takes forever to load, and not enough games (or good games). Sony will take the next gen as well, I don't think Nintendo and Microsoft has a chance. But I do think Nintendo will take the second spot, the 360 might look like a movie when it comes to games. But the Rev is soooo much different that it'll take the second spot from Microsoft. The X-Box got lucky by getting in when the GC came out. The GC didn't really have anything new to set it apart. The Rev will change that.

I counted my GC games, I have 36 GC games and only 17 of them are mine, hmm, the other ones were found by me in a GC disc case. It had some good games too, Soul Calibur 2 was one of them.

I agree, Sony was dominant this gen beating out both the GC and X-Box put together and then some but this gen they will lose market share but they'll still be at the top by a good amount. Next, like I said, is a toss up between the 360 and the Rev with the 360 having an advantage because of the launch date but the Japanese sales will offset that so it's going to be a good race between them for 2nd place and you might say that the Rev has an advantage because people that aren't Nintendo fanatics like us will see it as a secondary console plus people that will buy all three. It's all going to come down to Gameplay and software which I think will be at Nintendo's advantage.

Don't make me count my GBA games. There're less than 10 in there. >.< ROMs are the way to go anyway.

Y'know, I'd say the Micro is doing pretty well. Since its release, even if the SP still pwns it, it has done quite well.

Right now, the GBA is like what the GB was when the GBCs came out.

Poke-Rev: Like you said, it might be looked at as a secondary system. And since it'll cost less as the other two a good many people might pick the Rev up, not only for a season system but because it's different the the system they done own.

I saw that, I wonder what Nintendo is thinking atm. However, if you actually *look* at the copycat than you can see just how crappy they made it.
