Forums - Sales Discussion - PSP rocks Ds in Japan

wow so outselling the DS by 144 units per weeks it will only take approx 4915 years to catch up, I think it can do it easily.

I think all this really means is the DS needs a price decrease.  It hasn't seen one in the US since launch.



well its because ds has already sold to much in japan,and when DQIX launches it wil pass it again



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

the psp only outsold the ds by only a little over 100 systems that's nothing to brag about.

Sell it to me, i'm proud to be uncool


Avinash_Tyagi, will you buy my Aibo dog? It's also very uncool.

It hasn't learned anything I've tried to teach it.



Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.

It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.

Maybe it is because 20m consoles is pretty much market saturation, most people who want a DS have got one, maybe it's time for a new console?



^thats mostly a reason,but it will change with DQIX

 Is it saturation, or price point saturation?  Will a price drop ignite sales, if so then no need for a new version of the DS

What about the other 150+ weeks? ;)

But I do think the DS is actually slowing down in Japan, and the PSP doesn't really need games to sell, so 2008 will be an interesting fight.
