Is this first time that second place console is outliving the winner of its generation (PSP vs. DS)?

I'd imagine that the DS would have better sales if Nintendo had actually dropped the price for it. As it is now the DSi is the exact same price as the 3DS! There is really no reason to buy a Dsi as the 3DS can play all of those DS games and more (3DS games). The DSi XL is actually more expensive than the 3DS by about 2,000 yen!

The 3DS has effectively taken over for the DS now in Japan. I'm guessing the PSV will start siphoning off PSP sales as well once it's been out longer and has more games available.


Yes with that huge price cut for 3DS it's not wonder that DS died so quickly. Still it's historical as far as gaming indrustry goes or at least I don't remember similar case.
