I think probably the lack of new titles is keeping DS from reaching its full sales, all the big titles are still a while off, and maybe at this point a Japanese price drop should be considered, I mean its close to overtaking the PS2 in Japan

The DS already outsold the PS2 in Japan according to MC.

Ah ok, well VGC has them a little less, so either it has or its very close, but either way it may be time to think price drop in japan, what is the current price there anyways?

 

Edit according to Amazon Japan, its still the same price it launched at 16800 Yen, so its an even more impressive feat, considering that it has yet to budge in price

Exactly, it's still at 16,800 yen, which is about ~$156. That's one reason I haven't picked one up, yet.

The DS is sooo much more popular than the PSP here in JP. I always see people with a DS on the train, etc. Small kids, HS kids, people in their 20-30's, businessmen, etc. Hell my gf's mom even has a DS(a pink one)! I usually only see JHS/HS boys and sometimes guys in their 20's with PSPs.
