PSP software sales in general are stellar ? Don't make laugh .

DS success is due to his diversified library from Castlevania DS to Hanna Montana. 

I return to play to Phantom Hourglass , maybe a softcore game but I like it

Not always something that sells better is in fact better .This is a perfect example .The PSP trounces the DS in hardware and software lineup yet the Nintendogs and Brain Trainings of always keep the DS hardware through the roof for what the third consecutive christmas and year ?

DS software sales outside those no-games arent exactly stellar either .

OMG look nothing but Nintendogs and Brain Training sells!  There is no hardcore gamez! DS IS DOOOOOOMED!

Oh, and the DS library sucks compared to the PSPs? http://www.gamerankings.com/ says you're full of shit.

Look at that , I got to destroy people for DS bashing, PSP bashing, and Wii bashing all in the same day.  Sadly, Diomedes was my victim twice.  His poor poor ego.

After many weeks of slow sales, the PSP has picked up for the Christmas period in the UK and is finally starting to compete with the DS. I expect the PSP to sell slightly more than the DS next week based on this.

 HAHA ? I really dont know what to say ... its a pretty lame joke thread . Everyone knows the DS is outselling the PSP , but than its outselling everithing else ... the 360 , the PS3 , the PS2 ... oh and even the mighty Wii . Yeah , it became a cult hit , but than lets dont forget , that a couple of years ago , PSP like hardware sales where considered stellar . I bet that MS would have loved to have as many Xboxes on the market , as many PSP will be untill the end of the generation .

 

In the same time , lets dont forget , that the sales for the DS are so high mainly because of their non-game softwares ( Brain Training anyone ? ) , or ultra-softcore games , like NSMB . Hey at least the has a bunch of pretty damn hard games , while all the hard games on the DS are mostly hard because they are frustrating , and usually they are the ones with under 5 rating .

 

So yeah , keep on laughing , because hardcore gamers will go with hardcore handheld , and by that I dont mean the Gizmondo ... or DS .

 

PS : to bad for the good games on the DS , like the recently reeased Dementium ... they usually have bad sales compared with the kiddy Nintendo 1st party games :( 


Wow. You really want to get bashed don't you? I am a hardcore gamer and have been since I first started way back in 86. I have more than 25 DS games, almost all of which are in your so called "hardcore" category. I have a PSP as well. I only have 5 PSP games. Do you know why? Because I don't want to play rehashed PS2 games. I would rather play Nintendo's first party "kiddy" games (in your eyes) than worse controlling versions of games that I already had on my PS2. So clearly, the choice of this "hardcore" gamer is DS, not PSP. Here's laughing at you bud.



Just kiss the tip.

@Diomedes

i remember the time when the psp was released.
it was the handheld which i really wanted till my brother
got a NDS - he showed me some nice games and then i bought
a NDS instead of a PSP.

i think that NDS is way more hardcore than PSP.


@sony fans/sony supporter

even when the ps3/psp are heavily bashed at the moment you can still have a lot of fun with it. sometimes a second place is also not bad

Excellent list naznatips, PSP users should take sometime and observe why its repeatedly getting beaten every year.

 That list is fine and all if the PSP had no games >_>; It's not software QUALITY that's beating out the PSP's, its the POPULARITY of it all. The PSP actually has a REALLY good library of games, just no one buys them :D
