a record that is not going to be hold for a long time, since DS may probably break it this december, but still congrats to one of the best consoles ever made. 

Not a surprise as even GB beat PS1 back in the day. So it was likely DS would beat PS2 to continue that trend

*We ignore the existence of GBA in this trend!* tehehe

OT:

CONGRATS TO SONY and the 2nd best console ever made!

Actually GameBoy and GameBoy Colour TOGETHER surpassed PS1. We dont know how muhc each handheld sold individually

We do, it was about 70m GB and 50m GBC.  The handhelds are lumped together though since GBC is kjust considered a model refresh of GB generally.   Same as with DS and DSi.

Lol look at all the sensitive nintendo fans getting bent out of shape over the news. Sony sold 150 consols. Nintendo fan"So DS will beat that soon". Do yous really feel that threatened by this news that yous have to turn something possitive into a who's dick is bigger contest????

 

Lots of Sony fans get sensitive when Nintendo announces that Wii and DS topped a milestone, when wii topped 84M, sensitive Sony fans at VG247 were like "I bet 80M of them are collecting dust,ect" or some crap like.  When DS topped 100M, lots of sony fans said " I bet most of them have been bought by kids or grannies".

OMG did you read what you just wrote that sounds pathetic dude. So your trolling this thread because PS3 fanboys on VG257 did something simular. I called him a name because he call me one first LMAO. Do you know how childish that sounds?


No it's as if only Nintendo fans are sensitve the way your talking which isn't true, what your saying is that nintendo fans get bent out of shape when sony annoucnes good news but sony fan also get bent out of shape when Nintendo announces good news. 

Are you saying I get fatter when Nintendo announce good news?

Surely I get fatter when SONY announce good news as then I eat a lot to celebrate (chocolates, cakes...the works!)

*is confused*


I didn't use the term first,  geddesmond2 did. 

But geddesmond2 is a PS3 fan, I can forgive him for calling me fat, not you!

Oh and I'm just joking BTW, it seems you are too serious

I better leave the thread before I get a brain hemorrhage.

Was DS ever the cost of a PS2 at launch?

Why the comparison between them? They are both different. One's a handheld and another is a home console. Home consoles require more time on them and hence not all of the casual people get them.

Its like comparing a PC to Ipad or a Iphone or an Ipod because they are all computers.

So none of them actually outsold PS1. My point still stands

Prepare to be met with the PS1/PSone argument.

 

I hate how this site can't have an on-topic thread anymore. Grr.

OT: Congrats. HW will be overtaken, SW... Blows everything away

What? PSOne had a diffrent slimmer desgin but its the same PS1 hardware with same capabilites. Game Boy colour is diffrent than original Game Boy. Both hardware and software
