The thing is that is not even close to 2 percent of the ds' userbase let alone 50 percent. If what they said was true I expect at least 5 mil sales.

Even if you assume that Ubisoft is correct (which I would be doubtful) that would mean that there are still more people who are over 15 years old and own a DS than there are people who own a PSP ... Being that there will certainly be people who own PSP systems and are under 15, and this could be a pretty major portion of the PSP userbase (maybe 25% to 50%) it means that the DS is still the more popular system with older gamers by quite a wide margin.

Most people I know use their PSP as a MP3 player, portable web browser, and occasional game machine on-the-go. Everyone I know who owns a DS, just uses it for games (of course). I'd say there's overlap, but the PSP appeals to people for more reason than just games, unlike the DS.  I'd even go as far as to say that it appeals because it can do many things, and only if you are really into portable gaming, does the DS appeal more.

Heck, if/when that GPS receiver for the PSP comes out, it'll be the cheapest GPS on the market -- I'll be buying that receiver on day 1... another handy use for my all-purpose PSP.. yet another excuse to take it with me on long trips.

 LMFAO!!!@!

Awesome

Also, Apple sells a ton of content through iTunes. Nintendo sells a ton of content through games.

They both have a strategy beyond just hardware.

You obviously havent read my respons , because if you would have , you would know what I meant by that post . Dont bee so "fast" next time , and take your time readin all posts ;)

FishyJoe : yes , unfortunatly I agree on that one . Sony made a louzy job at securing PSP software sales . PSstore is pathetic , at best , at weekly game updates , especially for the PSP ( and PSone games ) and UMDs a). didnt take off as well as they expected ( saying at least ) b). has absolutly no piracy security . The PSP came out with NO anty-piarcy protection , except a weak software protection ( which comes in the form of Firmware updates ... yes , the ones whom are ususally cracked in less then 24 hours :( ) .

Sony should come up with a better protection system , have much more quality games and finally build a respectable , direct-PSP availible PSstore . If they do this , maybe we wil see some serious software improovements :)

I guess they can't admit they are getting owned by DS.

The DS and the psp both have great games, but it isn't hard to see that the psp is definetly being affected by the DS. You can however, make the arguement that the ps3360 isn't being affected by the wii. Just look at the games. The psp is being starved, while the DS is getting fatter and fatter.
Why would a publisher take a big risk on a game for the PSP when they can release one on the DS and are almost guaranteed to make money?

BUT, If you look at the...... well..... I'm trying to say something positive about the psp....... they have prettier games? (and they really do look great sometimes)
The DS just has variety and quantity..... I guess you could say the same about the psp, to a lesser extent. At least there aren't 10 mario games available for the psp.

That's a positive?  Just buy other DS games...

Well, it's a positive for me. They should just retire mario, he's getting tired of all these adventures and also he's over 50 years old now.
