so explain why the PS2 is outselling the GC - GC was much chaeper, why didn't it sell more?

oh if its "just the price" then i guess the nintendo Wii is the garunteed winner of next gen RIGHT?

and if sales are determined by "just the price", i guess PS3 is the default loser for next gen, RIGHT?

The slight lead PSP had this year in the USA is gone. DS is back on top. Not to mention the fact that DS is outselling PSP in Europe.. and DOMINATING Japan.. I think it's safe to say that DS = Winnar.mis3ry
I take it that you don't play Brain Age....


You are Winnar! Didn't you ever play Big Rigs?

What the hell happened years ago, last year, and this year the PSP has always been doing good everyone hyped about it, everyone I know has one, everyone loves it and then all this sudden I hear PSP UMD gone, psp flops, what does this nintendo ds that makes it surpass psp awesome graphics for a handheld. Before now I never seen any hype about the DS and no one playing it except one of my friends and all this sudden people are saying that the DS is better than the psp. Can someone explain why to me?

The PSP's still doing pretty well, considering that Nintendo has been the handheld market leader for as long as I can remember.

Compare it to the other handhelds that challenged Nintendo.

US sales for June:

DS 593k
PS2 312k
360 277k
PSP 221k
XBX 24k
gcuber123

The sales seems alright to me. I could see if it was doing as bad as the xbox or something. We all know the PSP cant touch the DS but those sales number are not bad. And seriously  how many times can the PSP flop/fail/be dead we know its not going to beat the DS. You know how many of these stupid PSP=the flop/PSP=failed threads there are.

What did you expect from gcuber123?

If you applied that same logic to the 360, then you could say the 360 doesn't have a chance either. Which is just a stupid thing to say.

Wow sheep are really insecure when it comes to handhelds.

Kind of. Remember that Nintendo hasn't won any "system war" in the last ten years, so the fact that the DS is beating the PSP is a significant victory for Nintendo fans. It's also the more sweeter the fact that when the PSP was announced, nearly everyone wrote Nintendo off and sang the praises of Sony. This was supposed to be it; Sony was supposed deal Nintendo the final blow and become king of all console types with the PSP.

Now it looks like the PSP may be the first fall in Sony's imminent tumble.

Not quite accurate. I don't remember exactly when Sega stopped production on the Game Gear, but it was not 10 years ago. And there was a Game Gear compatible system back in 2000 or 2001 as well. And beyond cows, I don't think there were really all that many people who truly believed that Nintendo was about to be unseated. I have been quite surprised just how much of a victory the PSP has been, especially considering that it costs more than a PS2.

thats easy, the ps2 was look at as a better value. no dvd player in the gc. can you go online with the gc. do the gc have the amount of games the ps2 has. no. and to make a point the psp is about 2x as much as the ps2. why pay that much for a handheld? the games cost the same amount as a ps2, why pay that much for a portable game? as soon as the price drops the ds will be forgotten.

Well, of course the PSP doesn't stand a chance against the DS. Nintendo has been doing handhelds for many years. As a first attempt by Sony to penetrate the market, they are doing pretty good. Although personally, I haven't played my PSP in months and could care less about it.

What sucks, is DS is selling so well, when I go to retailers, the good games don't even exist anymore.  They could make a ton of money if they would mass produce a large quantity of certain titles and ship them out.

I live close to Washington D.C., and went by the retailers, and all I could literally find was Sega Casino, Texas Hold 'Em, and a couple mass producted Nintendo titles since they always have alot in stock.

They DO ship a lot and there is a large quantity, its just that they go FAST! and those leftovers are the ones no one wants to buy so they sit on the shelf and give a bad name to the DS =\

No way is the DS "better."  Its almost a different market, Sony and Nintendo are appealing to two different types of gamers.

Anyways, I like the DS...but then it saddens me to see the PSP lagging behind in sales.  I always imagined them both being neck to neck (sales wise).  But hey, the PSP gots some great games, so I'll enjoy that rather then sales numbers.:?

Yeah but some of them are Animal Crossing, and Nintendogs, Brain Age.  Which from what I understand, they just get a ton of in stock.  Especially Brain Age since it just sells and sells.  I wish they would also have more games available to show how great the DS truly is like: Phoenix Wright, Trauma Center, Castlevania is always out of stock now, Electroplankton, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, etc.

I've literally watched the demand for this system shoot through the roof over the past 5.

The PSP seemed to have everything better, except price. Nintendo understood the price point.

The same thing will happen to the PS3. This looks like a Wii/360 generation.

Im getting a little tired of Sony fan boys and Nintendo fan boys arguing about what system is better and what sells more. But it doesn't really matter what bad things people say about what you like,the only thing that really matters is what appeals to you. So please stop the useless this is better than that topics.

It's not a flop. It's already sold a few million units. Because of it's price, it's not selling as fast as it probably should. The PSP is like twice the price of the DS. Do you actually believe it would as many as the DS? :lol:

The DS won, but it only doubled the PSP's sales. The PSP is losing worldwide, and losing any edge it had anywhere, but these US sales arent that earthshattering. I dont think that this puts it in any worse shape than what it was. 300k isnt that much.

Sony doesn't care that the DS is winning in sales. They're making a profit from the PSP and that's good enough for them. I'm having fun playing Syphon Filter and Loco Roco and that's good enough for me. A lot of you are having fun with Metroid Prime Hunters, and that's probably good enough for you. We're all happy.

Nintendo also owned the console market for 10 years before someone came along. gcuber123

No they didn't. They were battling it out with Sega pretty furiously. Sega even starting beating them for awhile. They in no way dominated for 10 years.

In the handheld market ,on the other hand, Nintendo has been the ONLY successful handheld until the PSP came along. Sony's managed to take a big chunk of the market with the PSP.

It's a global success.

The only reason the Nintendo DS is outselling our PSP is because the price is cheaper and it has kiddy games. Our PSP is the greater handheld.

looks like sony needs to make a PSP2.bulletbill
