That's what I'm saying. the DS is so far off in lala land. The PSP is able to carry that 1/3rd market share. Sony might not be makeing a killer profit. But 1/3rd market share is a good portion, and if I was makeing a game. I would sure think about 1/3rd market share, especially when I can give out demos to try my games, have online play, downloadable content. Among other things. I think I would make 2 games for the DS, and 1 for the PSP. However if I'm not mistaken, 3rd party sales on the DS are no-where near as high as nintendo sales on the DS. Nintendo has learned they can make every game for a system, the system will sell, and people will buy everyone one of their games even though their not that great. However sony's approach is, have everyone make games on their system. And looking at sales numbesr. I'd have to say it reflects sales numbers. Look at the Wii in Japan. Why have 520,000 3rd party games sold TOTAL, while there are ALOT more, and ALOT BETTER 3rd party games for the Wii right now than the PS3... As well as the fact there are well over 2x the number of Wii's in japan right now. How come the PS3 has 480,000 3rd party games sold? why is there such a little diffrence. The PS3 has crap 1st party and crap 3rd party games in japan right now. The Wii has a few good 3rd party games, and a few fun 1st party games. Why have there been over 2million 1st party games sold for the Wii and under 550,000 3rd party? Why is there that gap. If we move over to the PS3. There have been less than 800,000 units sold, and about 480,000 3rd party games sold. Looking at these numbers And the fact the 3rd party games on the PS3 are crap. Why are they selling so damn well? That is saying something about market demographics. I am trying to say it is these market demographics that are why the Wii will fail. The Wii is riding on Nintendo's software right now, as the DS is. However the Nintendo software has slowed on the DS, and infact. I dont like most of it. So I'm selling a DS for LocoRoco and possibly killzone. I would rather have 2 PSP than 2 DS, as the PSP games have better multiplayer. Did I mention demos? Did I mention MULTIPLAYER demos? That you can download to your memory card... and play ANYWHERE you are? and not just in a store. Infact did you know some stores will try to kick you out when you whip out your DS infront of the DS display trying to download a damn demo? That's not fun either. My wife and I both agree Nintendo has screwed us (for our taste in games) Multiple times. We both love the PS2, and we are oogling at the PSP so far. I have 4 hours of shows on my PSP. I have spent nothing on my PSP after buying it. I have like 10 demos. To watch videos on the DS, you have to buy stuff, as well as a memory card. To play demos on the DS you have to go to a demo station, wich is a pain in the ass. Why cant you download it to the DS? Put it on a memory card? It's little things like that that make me enjoy sony products. Infact. I love sony cellphones too. Now that's just becuase their well made.
