so we all know that the psp has sold amazinly well since monster hunter, but now the ds has passed it. I believe this is because the people there are waiting for a psp 3000. So when the psp 3000 comes out I think it will outsell the ds again for a while to come.

I.....agree

Or it is because the DS is getting alot of its big games in the second half of this year. Also your hypothesis doesn't account for the increase in DS sales. It only accounts for the decrease of the psps.

When will it release.

I doubt people would buy a DS only to wait for the PSP 3000, If they were waiting for the PSP 3000 wouldent they just wait and not buy a DS?

sounds like damage control to me, but im synical.

You should quit smoking whatever is in that pipe of yours.

"So, The DS is doing better than the PSP now... Thus I predict the PSP with do better than the DS again. Allow us to come up with rationalizations for why this must be true."

Does that sum this up about right?

The funny thing is that the people who have criticized this thread have had far worse arguments and comebacks than the thread poster. I'm sure the PSP-3000 will increase PSP sales (given the features), and call me crazy, but I actually think it will pass DS sales on a weekly basis in Japan. DS sales have definitely seen an increase, and PSP sales have seen a decrease. There's no denying that. The PSP has quite a few games lined up in Japan for late September and October, so I wouldn't be surprised to see increase sales. When is the PSP-3000 launching again?

No, the DS=#1 system this gen.

I think the PSP3000 announcement has definitely hold up a good group of potential buyers.It will give the PSP a good boost once its out but until then the DS will beat it.

The DS sales have picked up a bit lately thanks to a lot of games released ,between them the very successful Rythm Gold and Dragon Quest IV.Both portables have a lot of games ready for fall.
