All this talk has nothing to do with DS's failure to capture the Japanese market.

Anymore numbers that illustrate DS's ailing performance on life support?

Did MP: H just get released in japan? 34 thousand does seem low.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #1928 on:** June 07, 2006, 07:26:13 PM »

well considering that the sold this week #'s are exactly the same as the total sold #'s, my guess would be YES, yes it did just get released.
And 32.5 thousand isn't that bad considering 1st person shooter games doen't really sell well in Japan.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1929 on:** June 07, 2006, 07:31:42 PM »

If you saw just how poorly the Prime games have sold in Japan, you'd be surprised Hunters sold so much!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #1930 on:** June 07, 2006, 11:17:24 PM »

Metroid doesn't sell in Japan, FPS doesn't sell in Japan, I suppose the only reason they're releasing it there at all is because they don't want to leave the japanese market out (whereas they'd happily shaft Europe if we didn't buy Metroid. Give us the other Kururin titles goddamnit!).

Aussiedude · « **Reply #1931 on:** June 08, 2006, 02:21:14 AM »

I dont have any sales figures but I believe the DS is selling well in Australia, seen quite a few people with them and have nevewr seen anyone with a PSP.

Anyone have official Australian sales figures?

sarcasm is always funny when it's done right. just saying something and saying it's sarcastic is one thing, saying something and it being sarcastic is another.

You're confusing sarcasm with irony.

No, I'm not. I wasn't making a statement about sarcasm and how it is used here, I was making a comment on the humor of sarcasm in general and how sarcasm can be genuinely funny without the need to point out that it's funny. If it's funny, then it needs no introduction. people will see that it is funny, or humorous all on their own.

And I'm sure it will pass 1.5 mil in 3 weeks and 2 mil in 5 to go on to be the biggest and fastest selling Mario game of all time

Requiem · « **Reply #1935 on:** June 08, 2006, 09:32:13 AM »

So how many people own a DS in Japan?

How long do you think it'll take for NSMB to reach 50% of that number? (It's going to happen, it's just a matter of when)

13 PSP Brain Trainer Portable 2 (SEGA)

Wait, they made a sequal? When did that happen? I didn't know the first one sold well.

IceCold · « **Reply #1937 on:** June 08, 2006, 01:18:53 PM »

It did.. for a PSP game. Probably bought by all the PSP owners who want a DS.

May NPD US software & hardware sales numbers

Quote
PS2 - 232,000
360 - 221,000
GBA - 158,000 (approx)
NDS - 147,000 (approx)
GCN - 33,000
XBX - 26,000

DS tanking? People just holding out for the DS Lite? You be the judge.

How the Hell is GBA still selling so damn much. I wish we knew it if were the SP or the Micro.

GameCube outsold Xbox. W00t.

Ranked by dollars, not units. Very impressive that NSMB beat out all those $50 and $60 games. Even more impressive that Brain Training (a non-game priced at a mere $20) ranked so high. LOL at Over the Hedge.

Look at that. This 3rd pillar business is getting them NOWHERE, especially if they can't even top their 2ND PILLAR.

Where are the PSP numbers? Is Sony still hiding them? I thought that in the US the PSP was doing well or at least holding its ground, as compaired to Japan numbers....

Not true, globaly the DS the DS is doing very well so there 3rd pillar strategy is working fine.

If anything MS$ should be more concerned if it cant even beat the PS2 being the only next gen console currently released, probably due to its high price point and poor reliability, and they have already effectively lost the Japanese market again.

Mario · « **Reply #1943 on:** June 08, 2006, 08:15:48 PM »

Where does that leave PS3 with it's even higher pricepoint and even poorer reliability? I can't wait to see the PS2 outsell the PS3 this holiday.

BTW it's been confirmed that PSP outsold DS this month, again. It sold more than GBA is all we know. NPD are so freaking retarded with their numbers, treating them like it's some "exclusive club". They can rot and die, we need a better sales tracker to step up.

But how long will it be before devs slow down on making PSP software (Considering the overall global lead by DS.), particuarly Japanese devs? What effect will that have on US PSP sales?

Mario · « **Reply #1945 on:** June 08, 2006, 08:42:16 PM »

Honestly, probably none. PSP owners don't really seem too interested in games of any form.

The next few months are more important, we'll see what the DS lite's effects on NA sales will be and as the GBA line slowly gets phased out we'll see if the sales start to shift towards the DS.

That is why I think it is dumb to compare PSP sales to DS sales in the U.S. It seems pretty obvious people are buying a PSP for either the UMD movies or for a glorified MP3 player.

wandering · « **Reply #1948 on:** June 08, 2006, 11:38:29 PM »

...well, regardless of what people are doing with them, at least Sony is making money by selling all those PSPs.

...Oh, wait.

Artimus · « **Reply #1949 on:** June 09, 2006, 05:38:09 AM »

How can you count sales data that doesn't include WalMart or online?

I mean, probably half of the DS sales come from thsoe two places.
