speaking of market share. Nintendo is number one software house in japan since ever...and second worldwide. they own portable market since ever. all in gamers community recognize this... sony and microsoft as software house can't compare with Nintendo. Nintendo offers the best in software/hardware. sony and microsoft without well paid third and second parties are nothing. Nintendo in their "dark age" alone without third party support made games like mario64 and Ocarina of time considered masterpieces in game history!!!!
if ps3 comes in similar numbers...ouch!!

Lets see ...after the last data of this page(february 2007 ) PSP has sold in NA some 30 million games and 7.78 million consoles .THe DS has sold some 42 million games for 11 million consoles .The ratios are 3.85 for the PSP and 3.81 for the DS .....I dont see the PSP ratio as very bad .Issue is that the bulk of the DS sales are 3-4 Nintendo games that appear in the top ten and create an impression ,but as far as ratio go they are even ,the PSP even edges out the DS for some margin .Having so many users that buy the machine solely for Nintendogs and BT has some of these aftereffects .And in Europe the situation is more or less the same .THe only place where PSP and specially its software sells really poorly compared to DS is Japan where the ratios are 2-1 for the DS .And thats having in count the PSP suffers from some massive piratery ,and the PS3 wont suffer that for quite some time ...
