The DS just cannot be stopped. I cannot believe the numbers this thing is selling even now. It sold 1.3 mil last week worldwide, and now it is over .5 mil before USA and Japan numbers come in. This thing is a monster that cannot be stopped. I thought it would start slowing down, but it seems to be steam rolling Christmas and will probably take the Christmas crown again this year. Is there any stopping this machine. I read some articles last week saying that the PSP could take the top spot, I think it was on CNET. What a joke, the PSP will NEVER take the #1 spot from the DS. Just thought I would get this off my chest for today.

PSp might not take no#1 spot but one has to give credit for how good the handheld is selling next to the DS (note: It has already passed the Gamecube's lifetime sales which is quite an accomplishment for Sony's 1st in Handheld world)

Only problem i have with PSP's is that their Software just doesn't sell like it should! (this doesn't count for some titles like Monster hunter portable, FF and MGS etc...)

I understand why they don't sell though :P I've said it before and I'll say it again! I HATE handheld gaming >< I honestly can't sit there and stare at my screen for hours at a time, and on most day's I just don't have the time. PSP games don't seem geared for quick sessions, they seem more aimed at the type that want to sit down and play a game for the sake of gaming, not necesarrily to kill time. And if I was given the option to sit down and play something on my PSP, or my PS3, well I know where I'm going :P My Ex girlfriend has 200 something pirated games on her DS and the only one she plays is Brain Age, the PSP doesn't have many quick pick n' play titles. The one I can think of that I've played for hours in short sessions would be Lumines, I own Gran Theft Auto, Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkryie profile, FF 1 + 2, and I'm going to own the Star Oceans when they come out, but I honestly don't play them very often if at all. Maybe someday :P
