The DS has a software shipment number of 370m, 127m difference between VGC.

The DS library has close to 600 games that aren't tracked at all.

The DS has 9 missing million sellers, as Nintendo reported 57 million sellers.

See I can play this game all day long. It's pointless. All systems have unprepresented titles and you can find contrasting data to argue that each is undertracked. I don't see conclusive data that one system is being undertracked more than another.


True , I shoudlent have brought the total software sales figures , when we where talking only about Others ... that was my bad . But you cant honestly bealive that the PSP has an attch ratio of 2:1 in Others while the DS has an attch ratio of 20:1 , because at this point thats the tracked numbers difference , and as much as you want , you cant convince me .


If you can't be convinced otherwise on a point you shouldn't be argueing. (Outside of issues involving human rights)

Japan's PSP attach ratio is very low according to the official trackers from last check. So to use US as your sole choice of data seems flawed.

Is it possible that the PSP has more missing software numbers? Sure... because a lot of PSP games sell a lot less software.

The games that don't have numbers for them more often then not are going to be games that don't sell a lot or track well below the radar of sales... because it's very hard to use a system to see whether a few sales are part of a trend or just abberation in the data.

Then again the DS just has more games released for it to my knoweledge... so it's possible that a number of DS selling games have missing numbers.

Even in the US the PSP is half a game behind the DS.
