Yes because I wanted to use SML since it was the first SMB game to be released on a portable console, but i couldn't find the data.

My point was to compare a first generation portable nintendo handheld to the first generation portable sony handheld, so even though I couldn't find, I used a second generation, which is stlll giving the upper hand to nintendo.

I couldn't give a damn about the sales of both games, to me, Mario and GT are of equal quality in their own genres, but the comparisons you are offering are simply ridiculous. You're only using the best selling nintendo consoles, what about the n64, what about the gamecube, you're forgetting those? Nintendo is the dominant manufacturer this generation, whether it's handheld or home console, and will be till the end of this generation, but it wasn't like this in the past two gens, and Sony did what no other manufacturer has ever done on the handheld terrain, to actually give a proper competition to nintendo.

Yeah but my point is that you took a 20 years old port as an example while GT:PSP is a complete new game and thus cannot be taken seriously for your analysis.

But I completely agree with your last statement about giving Nintendo his first real competitor in the handheld market.

I've edited the post and added SML comparison as well ;) I think GTPSP will be lucky to do 2M LTD since it doesn't have to selling power as a mario game has, no game rather than Pokemon really does, but for it being the first GT game on a portable console, it did rather good.

Nintendo will continue to dominate the handheld market for a long while, even for the next generations, since they know what the majority of the public wants and gives them exactly that, but Sony has really surpassed the expectations with the PSP, no one ever thought that there could be a serious competition to the Gameboy/NDS domination

@ atma, you pretty much replied with what I've said about you, talk about reverse psychology just to win an argument. nice try. Yes, you're the truth and it is why no one else who disagree with you can handle it. And I apologize, you're not a fanboy, you just love nintendo and hate sony.

@atma, i'm sorry that I don't add dramas to a discussion board, maybe I should be more like you?

No you should be more mature. Bring some arguments, opinions, numbers or predictions about this topic instead of flaming and throwing personnal attacks. If you cannot do that than please get out of here, because now you're just derailing the thread and embarassing yourself.

@ atma, thank you for describing yourself so well, i couldn't have done it better.

@ CGI, sorry, i'll stop, it's not worth it.

This is a good amount for a psp game and it should rise next week in europe. (next vgchartz week)

This game was a huge flop. The GT series is really losing any power, with GT5P's lack of any effect as well.
