Forums - Sales Discussion - DS Sales, How high can they go?

MrPickles on 18 December 2007

I think the DS has the potential to sell another 5 million this month minimum, especially since My Word Coach just released for the casuals.

^^ so true


Wrong, its the DS Lite printing money not the normal DS

I've just noticed it, was too busy to check on the console sales, (DS is not a console but handheld, keep that in mind folks) that I didn't see the ridiculous high amount of DS sales. Really had to wipe out my eyes to see if I didn't see double numbers :-O

Yet these extraordinary sales don't seem to get that reflected in the US! In Europe and Japan DS software is crazy, yet not so in US. WTF?

Could be worse, much worse. See PSP.

Also, I think NOA is a bit behind the curve when it comes to DS marketing.


 Nintendo of Japan did yell at NOA for not marketing Brain Age well enough, compared to Europe or Japan.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

last year it topped 1.5 million for the week before Christmas.... This year it will have topped 1.5 million a week earlier.

2 million in a single week is a stretch, i forsee it will come short of 2 million that last week, but only due to supply.

1% of the world population has a DS. Still a long way to go, Nintendo :p

I don't know where I've read that holiday craziness in Japan starts at the end of December. Was it here? Not sure.

What amuses me is that people still doubts about the DS beating the PS2 as the best selling console.

I have absolutely no doubts that the DS will outsell the PS2.  It's pretty much a given.   However, I put them in the apples and oranges category.  One is a true console, the other is a handheld.   When I think of a console, I think NES, Genesis, PS/1/2/3, GC, Xbox, etc.  When I think of Handhelds I think of the Gameboy, DS, PSP, Lynx, Game Gear, etc.   They are marketed a bit differently as obviously most people don't pack up their console (Wii, PS3, etc) and take it to work, or to play while on a plane or a car trip. 

 So that said, yes, the DS will outsell the PS2, but they are different enough that they aren't in the same category.
