| Vor said: Interesting question, but that makes me wonder. If VGChartz is anything to go by, the DS took 4 years and 5 month to reach 100 million sold, and therefore is the current record holder. Can the PS4 (or any future console) beat this record? Cuz you know, comparing it to PS2 is boring  |
DS tapped into a crazy market that the PS4 didn't though. It sold like 30 million a year and was cheap as fuck. PS4 is still officially at the launch price of the PS2, and has direct competition targeting the exact same demographic. I compare to the PS2 because it's part of the same market. I get that PS4 and DS are still both gaming machines, but they are 2 completely different demographics. Not taking away from the DS,because the fact that it could even tap into that market in the first place was impressive innovation on Nintendos part and they earned every sale. It's just that the DS had more potential buyers from the get go.
