When the PSP sells 36 million units it'll be doing as good as the N64.

Why do people think the N64 was a big flop?

So, what's the monthly sellthrough worldwide for DS and PSP? That would make a much better comparison.

I have the japanese sales from the beggining, If you want US sales, you're gonna have to compile the data yourself for now(long search through this thread for NPD data), but its better than nothing

Japanese sales DS vs PSP from the beggining till august  

[Artimus]

GBM     170,306
DS    72,167
PSP    70,152
PS2    24,396
GBASP    11,147
GC    1,882
GBA    624
Xbox    109

Those are the officials. I'd say it's likely the PSP will never top the charts again. Ouch.

[Toruresu]

Someone needs to update that list of PSP vs DS...

My new amusement is seeing how low the Xbox can go, now that it has hit double digits.

As GOOD as your grammar?

[KDR_11k]

Xbox 98

I can predict sales for the next week:

Xbox ME

[PaLaDiN]

Please tell me that's not Tamagotchi heading that software sales list.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

It might be a typo.

Tama-got-CHU!!

[OptimusPrime]

OK...with who is the PSP competing here again... the DS? getting its ass kicked....the GBM? can just overcome it ....but if you take combined numbers off al only-GBA-based hardware ( GBA, GBASP and GBM) it's getting its ass kicked again.
I like Nintendo's 2 and half to one advantage here, it gives the amount off asskicking the PSP is getting in Japan...Xbox sales are intresting too... I wonder, are they buying them as gameconsoles or as teatables that can play DVD's?

Oh yes, 60% of all Japanese hardware sales are Nintendo portables.... jeezs...

[Renny]

Well I have no doubt that it's entirely 'enthusiast' if not 'hardcore' gamers buying the Xbox at this point. They're probably modding them into something more useful, also.

You're so insecure about yourself you have to go around on internet message boards picking out when people say good instead of well? I pity you.

Try contributing to conversation and discourse instead of picking fights.

[Artimus]

On a slightly silly note, the GameFaqs poll today is rather interesting. It asks people which October release they're most anticipating. Normally I discount the GameFaqs polls for any true reading, but Castlevania: DS is beating GTA: LS by 8% for top spot. This is odd because GTA has been in the top 10 faqs since it came out on the PS2, and a Castlevania game isn't even in the top 50. Odd.

How in Freud's name is that a sign of insecurity?

When people nit pick over things like that during conversation it tends to be a pet peeve, but to go into a message board where you're not talking at a constant pace and do it shows an obsession with the criticism of others. Obsessive critics tend to be so as a distraction for their own insecurities. Freud, for example...

So you discount GameFAQs when it doesn't line up with your preconceived notions, but when it does you pay attention?

Not at all. I said "on a slightly silly note". I thought it was interesting because usually the polls are predictable. If you notice I didn't say that meant it would sell better than GTA.

Or should I just refrain from posting interesting things in the future?

This site has gotten so bitchy in the past few months it's sad.
