You're making a fool of yourself again in completely ignoring my argument of DS STILL SELLING while PS2 DOES NOT. Even a 5 years old kid would understand that the DS will sell a couple more millions in the upcoming 1 or 2 years while PS2 won't. You're also completely irrelevant when talking about shipping figures and totally in delusion if you really think PS2 outsold DS last year. lol It's been 3 years now that you are hysterical each time someone is saying DS has outsold PS2 or will eventually outsell it. 3 years! Get over it man, PS2 is now #2. And to take your own words, why ''do you choose to not understand'' that it tooks 50% less time for the DS to reach PS2 LT sales or that DS were not given away with phone contract or replaced because of some DRE death...Does it really matter IF PS2 still 1 or two million ahead? We are only talking about a console sales, don't get emotional like that, you're only looking ridiculous. |
I'm not sure he's the one making a fool of himself. You have used VGC numbers despite them showing the DS somehow selling more than they've shipped, and ioi himself saying that they've been unable to track the PS2 and it is several million higher than it shows.
Then you go onto to make the claim that the DS is selling well in emerging markets. The DS only shipped 230k outside of the Americas from April-December. In 2012, the DS shipped 2.19 million units to the Americas, and sold 1.96 million in the US. In the Oct-Dec quarter the DS shipped 1.13 million in the Americas, and sold a little under a million in the US according to NPD. In that same quarter they only shipped 30k outside of the Americas.
What kind of twisted logic did you use to make this look like the DS is selling in emerging markets? It is the exact opposite. Outside of the US the system is basically dead. It is selling in one developed market. Though I suspect you haven't looked at the data at all. Which would explain why you've been making these same factually inaccurate claims for as you said three years. You just choose to believe what you wish to be true.
For the record, the DS hasn't hit the PS2 lifetime sales, so it couldn't have done it in less time. Even if we took an arbitrary point like 150 million it took the PS2 10 years and 9 months from the Japanese launch, while the DS took over 7 years. Faster yes, but more than 50% the time. Yes I would say the console that is actually ahead matters when naming the best selling console. What kind of question is that?
