PSP wont sell 100 million, thats certain... even I can see that even in the uber best case scenario 75 million would be top, and even then it should have strong legs after the release of the PSP2... other then that I know that this is stil extermly impressive, and its great to see that there is finally a portable machine that is capable of getting a big chunk of the handheld market :D ( roughly 1/3 :D ).

I strongly doubt that PSP sales will go anywhere but down (except the very few weeks after 3000 release).

The reason is that 2 out of 3 strong points are done much much better by Apple with it's new Iphone 3g. I'm talking here about WiFi and mp3 / video playing.

Whoever will buy a PSP from now on will buy it exclusively for games while the console was always advertised as an all in one media handheld.

Mmm ,actually after shipments figures Sony had shipped 41 million PSP back in july when they gave numbers at the E3.I think the PSP is considerably undertracked (some 2-3 million ) in vgchartz.Still ,its true the DS is selling a lot more ,specially now that in the wait for the PSP3000 the actual PSP sales are fading ...we will see what happens when the PSP3000 arrives.

Life is undertracked.

I dont know about life,but PSP is undertracked.

PS:You overestimate your brains ,too .

Apparently not or else I'd be capable of molesting the English language quite as thoroughly as you!

I dont think sony will win the handheld market. I just think it will be closer. This is kind of like last gen of the consoles and I think Sony will manage to eat at Ninty market share. I dont know how much they will but I think they wont lose any.

I think your coutning Sony out and you shouldnt. If ninty taught us anything. Its that power of last gen doesn't mean a whole lot.

What if Sony doesn't even pursue a PSP2?

The only way I'd see PSP beating a DS successor is if Nintendo really screwed the product up or if Sony disrupted Nintendo. And I don't think a PSPhone is going to disrupt an actual gaming handheld.

This is like saying: "Kia Spectra and Lamborghini Diablo 1/4 mile run compared"

Not even a contest.

no its more like saying

A Kia Spectra (DS) and Lamborghini Diablo (PSP) with no fuel 1/4 mile run

The PSP is way better, it just has no support, or gas, as in this example.

to the opening post. I don't get how you figure out your numbers.

It just confuses the heck out of me with how the DS is outselling the PSP every month by a big margin, and has more than double the userbase as of now.

and yet you talk about WHEN the psp is at 100 million the ds could possibly be at 130 or even 150. Do you even think about what you say or do you just throw in random numbers.
