In addition its not really that big of a deal because all this shows is that the system sales which are by now nearing 3 million for the DS are experiencing the post holiday slowdown, while the PSP hasn't yet reached the slow down in demand because of the early shortages.
platform this week last week 2005 total
1 PlayStation 2 65,837 124,401 189,238

My real concern is more how the PSP will do in North America where the quirkiness of the DS is not as big of a selling feature as it is in Japan.

Supported by the DS software sales which continue to outpace the PSP:
platform title publisher this week total
1 GBA Mario Party Advance Nintendo 67,927 new
2 PS2 Gran Turismo 4 SCE 63,584 843,340
3 PS2 Gikei Eiyuden From Software 41,927 new
4 DS Sawaru Made in Wario Nintendo 33,537 575,069
5 PS2 Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special Square Enix 25,264 299,989
6 PS2 Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi Square Enix 23,858 3,235,861
7 DS Super Mario 64 DS Nintendo 22,671 593,831
8 PSP Minna no GOLF Portable SCE 18,682 N/A
9 PS2 METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER Konami 18,166 790,518
10 PSP Shin Sangoku Musou Koei 17,070 N/A
Again from gamescience.
As you can see the PSP games are trailing the DS sales by a fair margin, indicating that its more that those who wanted the DS this early already have it and as a result the hardware sales have slowed. Expect them to start up again in march or april.
As for the DS vs. PSP in NA, remember that the DS actually has sold faster here in the US than in Japan, seems American gamers are intrigued by the innovation of the touchscreen.

31%: PSP Market Share
25%: DS Market Share
31%: PS2 Market Share
09%: GBA Market Share
00%: Xbox Market Share (Assumed)
96%: Total
This leaves only 4% for poor old GameCube. Quite sad, indeed.

Why aren't the Japanese buying Band Brothers and Hitofude? Morons.
Catch! Touch! Yoshi! is released there next week, it should give the DS a boost, even though I think both systems are still sold out so these hardware sales mean nothing.

Since it is a new year the total sales for hardware has been reset. However, because of the handheld war between the Nintendo DS and PSP we have added a column after current year total which is the systems total since their respective launch.
Software
1. Gran Turismo 4 - PS2 - 145,027 - 779,796
2. Tales Of The World - GBA - 81,045 - 81,045
3. Wario Ware: Touched! - NDS - 63,214 - 271,150
4. Super Mario 64 DS - NDS - 46,098 - 571,160
5. Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater - PS2 - 42,005 - 772,352
6. Dragon Quest VIII - PS2 - 37,507 - 3,212,003
7. Mega Man Battle Network 5 - GBA - 35,100 - 84,758
8. Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy - PS2 - 32,903 - 274,785
9. Mario Party 6 - GC - 30,626 - 499,555
10. Pokemon Dash - NDS - 29,813 - 77,869
Hardware
1. PlayStation 2 - 124,401 - (124,401)
2. Nintendo DS - 108,561 - (108,561) - [1,604,157]

4. Super Mario 64 DS - NDS - 46,098 - 571,160
That Wario Ware total is wrong. It should be 571,150 or something. The Pokemon Dash total should be a few hundred thousand higher too.

The wonderswan has sold 3 million systems in Japan. The Neo Geo Pocket (or was it the game gear? i dont know, one of them) sold 10 million systems worldwide. PSP still hasn't reached "wonderswan level failure" yet. I'd say it's about N-Gage level failure right now, moving up towards wonderswan.

For Nintendo that means better 3rd party support. If publishers know that the DS will have more sales, then thats the system they will have their development studios make games for.
I wished Capcom would have waited to see sales of RE4 in both countries or atleast in the U.S. to see how profitable it would be to keep exclusitivity instead of just announcing the PS2 version which will make Japanese sales figures go down.

He's simply saying that the PSP isn't a huge success yet. Will it beat the Wonder Swan in time? Of course, but it's not there yet. Although the limited supply is probably a huge factor here.

i dont think the psp will out sell ds in japan just yet but if ds wants to keep in the game they must make more great content for it.

It's very hard to tell, and it's still early, both systems could still be selling out of all their shipments. I think both systems will co-exist and both will be successes, it remains to be seen whether or not the PSP's initial "OMG BIG SCREEN, GRAPHICS" gimmick will wear off or not.
Post by: KnowsNothing on January 26, 2005, 03:28:25 PM
Mario brought something up that's probably pretty obvious, but I haven't really thought about. As of right now, the DS is the one with the gimmicks, and the PSP is the "hardcore" gaming machine. But in the future, the DS will prove itself software-wise, and maybe the PSP will turn into the gimmick machine once people start to realize that they already played a better version of this on their PS2s.
But, I honestly believe that both systems can coexist, peacefully at that. The DS is really just testing the waters to see how the public takes a shift in the way games are played as preparation for the Revolution, and already it's been hugely successful. Preorders, what, doubled what Nintendo expected?

DSF47,000
So if it continues to outsell the DS by 19,000 a week it will take 100 weeks to pass the DS
(since the DS is at least 1.9 million ahead of the PSP)
I'm not going to lose any sleep over this.

"Can i play multiplayer games without using a cord?"

Nothing like that is going to happen any time soon, but we're looking at one more case of Nintendo losing marketshare. I don't think we should panic over this, for sure. DS is doing fine, and I think it's going to be a big success. But it's not going to be an uncontested success like Gameboy Advance was.
Post by: Avinash_Tyagi on January 28, 2005, 05:21:35 AM
This intial sales are totally on hype, the race has just begun, the winner won't be clear for 1-2 yrs. at least.
Not to mention sony is losing alot of money in the hopes of gaining the market so if they continue to see financial losses and don't manage to steal a sizeable portion of the market they may not remain in the market for long.
Post by: Deguello on January 28, 2005, 05:39:00 AM
America might be a little different, but if the best the PSP can muster is a rabble of console-port sports games and interesting-yet-not-as-interesting-as-DS-puzzlers puzzle games for launch, then they might have problems.
Also on a note about sales...
Sold / Shipped
Nintendo DS = 1,657,684 / 1,800,000
Sony PSP = 608,906 / 800,000
DS's seems to be less available as of right now. I dunno if they means they are more desired or not, though, but it is interesting, yes?

If they were mere remakes, and PKMN D&P are entirely new games that are said to change the series, I imagine they will garner Godly sales.
Also, Sony is losing a heap of money with this PSP stuff. And they've chosen possibly the worst release date for it. If PSP doesn't garner enough sales, Sony might actually be forced to discontinue, because of all the money they are losing.
I think Nintendo could win this battle, but not outright dominate it like other battles, which isn't necesarilly a bad thing.
And I think Nintendo could quite possibly be the leader next gen as well.

Noble~Feather, I'm not saying you're wrong or anything but what makes you think Nintendo could be the market leader next gen anyways? I mean after all Nintendo continues to lose market share every generation, so what makes you think Revolution will turn things around for Nintendo?

Well that's kind of a stupid question.
I do know a few things about Revo that you don't, and I can only describe it like this:
NINTENDO invented the analogue stick. Then when they revealed it, SONY coppied the idea and released their console first, complete with the latest media format, while Nintendo released their console later [so keep in mind that THEIR idea was not very "new" anymore since PS already had it for quite some time] with an old media.
Now for the REVOLUTION:
Nintendo is releasing THEIR console before Sony this time, and this time they are NOT going to let anyone copy them, including Sony. They are also releasing with the latest media format, much like how SONY did with PS1&2.
The way Revo plays is as revolutionary as the analogue, and this time, Sony [or any other company for that matter] is not going to copy the new way to play.
Post by: WuTangTurtle on January 30, 2005, 10:37:31 PM
Untill Nintendo releases a date, Sony can still match or even beat Nintendo. Have we aslo forgotten the XBOX 2 which will be the first new next gen system.
XBOX 2 could take American audience away from Sony. IMO i think it will fail, but it is possible seeing how much America loves its $eXBOX.
I don't mean to bad mouth Nintendo at all but next gen is going to be a make or break. Nintendo has been in decline for too long, if Revolution/N5/N21 does worst than Gamecube I believe we will see Nintendo leave the console game industry.

"The days of Nintendo riding on the success of Gameboy are over, and if Nintendo can't recover some of the home console market, my favourite game company may be...in the long, long run...doomed."
There will always be competition between the gamemakers, but there is no way that Nintendo will perish! First of all, the market is going to expand by Nintendo´s innovations in DS and Revolution. So that whole idea that there is only room for two on the market is ridiculous! And when the initial wow-effect of the Sony PSP is over as compared to Nintendo DS which screen isn´t nearly as cool as the one on NDS, people will be back at square one again seing that PSP is just more of the same, and therefore giving them exactly the problem that persists with the games on Ps2 and on xbox: boredom!
The games and fun in them coming out on NDS will outdo almost any PSP game in initial appeal to new gamers. A tall statement perhaps, but there is clearly already now evidence that the people who get to play the Nintendo DS at the Nintendo Roadshow events react extremely favourable to it because it is so easy to get to grips with and to thus instantly enjoy. Whereas the games on PSP have been seen a million times before, and have tired people to a point where they began to look away from games alltogether! That is the reason for the marketstagnation which Nintendo has so long been talking about and has righted as we speak with DS and the upcoming Revolution console! So it will only last a short time, before the sameness of those games shine through, leaving DS to show them the alternative!! I personally don´t care if the PSP will sell a lot. The DS will sell more. Because it captures the hearth of gaming: secure gameplay fun! It´s basically all up to how well Nintendo executes their worldwide marketing for the DS! And judging by current media exposure, they are rocking and rolling!!
Don´t believe me on what I say about DS? If not, hear what Iwata said himself about the new handheld (and how entirely new gamers reacted to it) in the most recent conference in Paris, Europe (this is a must-hear speech with one cool surprise effect, lasting around 12 minutes and free to view):
Iwata hammers home the DS succes
Post by: Mario on February 02, 2005, 04:59:53 AM
24-30 Jan
PS2 : 53,800
NGC : 9,700
Xbox : 500
GBA : 400
GBA SP : 22,000
PSP : 71,000
NDS : 42,000
This is happening even though reports from people in Japan say there are Nintendo DS's everywhere and it's impossible to find a PSP. Biohazard 4 entered the charts at number 3 with 145,000 sold, and Catch! Flop! Yoshi! entered at number 5 with 52,000 sold. Not looking good.
EDIT: What is also interesting to note, is that while 71,000 people bought a PSP last week, only about 40,000 units of PSP software was sold that same week, which means people are buying PSP's without games. However over 100,000 of DS software was sold, with only 42,000 people buying a DS, which means people are buying 2 games, or their existing userbase is buying their second game. Hardware: Software tie ratio is starting to shift in favor of Nintendo DS.

This is happening even though reports from people in Japan say there are Nintendo DS's everywhere and it's impossible to find a PSP. Biohazard 4 entered the charts at number 3 with 145,000 sold, and Catch! Flop! Yoshi! entered at number 5 with 52,000 sold. Not looking good.
I disagree, the numbers are pointing to a continuous rate of sales for the DS, right around 40-50K, even after the initial rush has receded, with game sales remaining quite high.(heck Yoshi did better than the entire PSP lineup combined)
while the PSP is only selling well now due to the early lack of hardware, I expect this wave of PSP sales to last 2-5 weeks more before leveling off(not to mention the PSP has to sell like this for months in order to cover the ground the DS has on it). In addition the lack of software sales indicates bad news for Sony in the long run as they hoped to make their money on software to cover the hardware loss. The current numbers indicate the PSP will be used not for gaming but rather for a media device.

but yeah, Yoshi should continue selling and possibly reach over 500,000 in it's lifetime, Nintendo games have longer legs than anything else in Japan, and Yoshi Gravitation on GBA only sold about 8,000 in it's first week and went on to sell over 200,000. Plus Mario and Wario keep selling and both of those could pass a million in Japan alone, which is very impressive.

According to Media Create, Nintendo DS sales from launch, til now.
You forgot "most of December" and about a million DS units.
That's a picture of what hardware sales (for both the DS and the PSP) look like once the clock ticks past "Dec 25".

Sony has 1 million PSPs for the US Launch (Which will probably sell very well) im not so sure it will continue to be strong past the 1 million mark....
My guess is Sony has been hoarding all the ones it could produce for the US market in order to release them in one large Deluge, but you're right its likely that one the first shipment is sold out it'll be weeks before much more arrives.
This is probably why they delayed the Europe relese, they probably knew they couldn't meet initial demand for both places so they chose to hold off on the Europe launch.

Nintendo DS: 354,803
These have to be the most depressing figures I've ever seen. There's no excuse for Nintendo, the portable market leader since 1989, to launch first and be within reach of being overtaken by the PSP already. If it was reversed and Sony was launching first I know they would have made better use of their head start. It's bad enough that Nintendo seems incapable of defeating Sony. It's worse that they already had the N64 to learn from yet they're showing the exact sort of inane incompetance they did back in 1996. It's like once Sony enters a market Nintendo goes from invinicible game god to super doofus.
Oh my God! Sony's entering our market! We better do something weird and release no games.

So you dont think Nintendo has a huge battle on their hands? I would suggest you stop drinking that coolaid ;-) You have to be honest, things don't look that good for the DS. A million lead. uh uh. Just wait. Every week the PSP is outselling the DS, wont take too long to catch up. When/if it does, then what will you say? What execuse will you give Nintendo then? I want Nintendo to win this battle, but they are not looking good. DS should have blown the PSP out of the water. If Nintendo does not slow the PSP sales (with a few awesome games), I see a huge snow ball effect starting for the PSP.
At its current rate it'll take over a year to catch up in Japan.
As for the US it has about almost a 2 million lead, its the PSP that has a huge battle on its hands
Software sales tilt decisively in the DS's favor
You think its bad for Nintendo? You need to look at the numbers, everything is in the DS's favor at the moment.

Nintendo took a risk here. Lauch ahead of the PSP with very few titles or launch after the PSP but with more titles. Sony was the one choosing the battlefield here. Their PSP has matured enough to be released (well, game-wise. Hardware-wise it's still a Sony), the DS saw a premature release. It wouldn't have been ready until much later, probably months after the PSP launch if Nintendo had waited for the games to be ready like they did with all their previous consoles. They've never fought such a close decisive battle before, all their other systems were never made in reaction to a competitor's launch. Iwata wants them to fight. He knows how Yamauchi's "we work our usual schedule" worked for the N64 and especially the Gamecube. Having a larger number out there first will make more third parties develop for you and even if the situation might shift later on you still have loads of games coming and a better chance at getting a killer app to turn the tables. The Xenon has more devs than the PS3 or Rev simply because it'll release earlier. That means more games by the time the others hit the market. That's 20% of the work done already (good product), the remaining 80% (perception) are up to you. Of course, as it was a reaction the DS couldn't launch early enough to get a significant advantage but launching before Sony, especially after they've revealed their true specs, is still better than launching after Sony.
Though I'm not sure the DS was a smart business move. In fact I believe Nintendo would've had a much greater chance had they left the Gameboy as their primary product for Sony to fight against. The GBA is so utterly dominant it cannot be ignored or beaten anymore. Now people see it as PSP vs. DS which is a much tougher fight. Had Nintendo waited for two years and one-upped Sony they'd have blown them back to hell. The PSP would have some momentum already but two years later would make the GBE seem like a new generation and customers willing to buy again. then it'd look like the PSP is struggling against the GBA with its HUGE library and userbase, which is a fight it has no chance of winning. I'm not sure how devs would have reacted but I'm sure they wouldn't skip the GBA. Perhaps give the PSP some portjobs for the rest of the home generation and forget it after that. At that point the GBE could come in, offer more than the PSP does, replace the GBA which has been the dominant handheld for ages and the preferred toy of kids everywhere (face it, the PSP will never grab the kid market like that). Perhaps with Gamecube AND GBA compatibility, not even leaving Sony with the library advantage of that gen. That would be the finishing blow since children would be searching for a new toy now that their GBA is so old and the PSP won't have much appeal to them (it'd be much more expensive had Nintendo not thrown in the DS) and the techfreaks will see this as the new gadget to have. Hardcore gamers will buy it anyway. If it had the dual screens (i.e. GC emulation mode and GBE mode for GC-level DS games) it would appeal to the non gamers as well. With a proper preparation time they'd have enough new titles at launch. Total devastation of Sony.
Post by: Ian Sane on March 08, 2005, 06:29:13 AM
Yeah. Just like the Playstation had to beat the SNES. The GBA is last gen portable hardware. It's obsolete. I don't care if Nintendo still makes some games for it the truth is Nintendo has released superior portable hardware so the GBA is no longer a factor. It's PSP vs DS and right now that race is pretty close all things considering.
Post by: KDR_11k on March 08, 2005, 09:15:18 AM
I was thinking primarily about image. Releasing the GBE with the stima of "Their last handheld was one of the most sold systems of the world" is much better than going in with the stigma of "Their last handheld pretty much tied with the PSP" or even worse "they already lost against the PSP". Though the two handheld pillars idea might be another way of forcing Sony to shorten the PSP's lifecycle if they wish to keep their selling point of better graphics alive... Make them compete with the weaker DS now, release the GBE at full power later...
The N64 had the huge disadvantage of cartridges, complicated APIs and the associated costs making game development much less profitable on the platform, a GBE based on GC tech would be VERY comparable to the PSP both in size and cost. Also, from what I gather the PS1 only really pulled ahead with FF7. That's what Iwata is hoping for, a killer app of FF7 scale that will pull the DS miles ahead of the PSP. A GC-based GBE would have a much better chance against the PSP than the N64 had against the PS1 (GC compatibility would also offer it games that fully use the abilities at launch as opposed to games that don't match the games made natively for the platform) because dev tools already exist and there's a huge number of games that could simply be reissued and sell to the people who didn't go with the GC this gen (a whole lot if the GBE is nearly as successful as the GBA, even half would suffice). Other games could be easy ports from the PSP maybe with an extra or two to quickly match the PSP's library.
Post by: Deguello on March 08, 2005, 09:28:24 AM
From a business standpoint I disagree. By the Time the PSP reaches America, the DS will be available in every single major market, that being Japan, The United State, Europe, and I guess Australia. It is the PSP that has to catch up, not the DS. It is Nintendo's race to lose.
And as a gamer I also disagree. The DS's future looks much brighter than the PSP's. Look at Japan's future near-future titles for the PSP. The most wanted game is a PSOne port. The DS may have its share of N64 ports, but it doesn't seem to be relying on them
Edit:
"That's what Iwata is hoping for, a killer app of FF7 scale that will pull the DS miles ahead of the PSP."
I think they are gonna get it, at least in Japan. If not Pokemon or some Square Enix title, it will probably be that Jump Superstars game that everybody and their brother wants.

As far as "shipments" go, Sony apparently had 200,000 units ready for the Japanese launch. They shipped 100,000 per-week after that. By the end of December, in terms of sold/shipped percentage, the DS was more "sold out" than the PSP (yet at the same time, more readily available, because of the larger scale).
Sometime in early January, Sony managed to increase their production to well over 200,000 units a week, but by then the PSP had slowed down (that happens after major "events", without fresh new games to create more "events"), so Sony stuck with their constant 100,000 unit-per-week shipments in Japan, and started stockpiling units for the American launch.
Sony will apparently launch the PSP in America with a "massive" one million unit launch, due to the "unprecendented demand" (indicated by the "shortages" in Japan).
NPD numbers have been oddly elusive lately, but last I saw (around Christmas?) the DS was at something like 1.8 million. Probably over two million in the US right now.
Quote
A two million system lead is not a huge battle.
The XBox was winning in America by 1 million units for the first year or two (thanks pretty much to Halo), during which time everyone seemed to be saying "Oh, well, the GameCube is holding it's own, but that's only because the XBox bombed in Japan. Here in America, the XBox is King." Now imagine what it would've looked like if the XBox had beaten the GameCube in Japan by a million units...
Of course, you can't count on that to mean anything, because XBox fanboys are blowhards, and everybody wants to kick Nintendo while they're down (and the fact that Nintendo's not down seems to be pissing everyone off, prompting them to kick harder), and the Sony fanboys think that the PSP is Kutaragi's Gift to Videogaming.

The Animal Crossing games on the N64 and GCN were HUGE hits in Japan but on the DS with its portability, touch-screen, and online features it will be a phenomenon. Animal Crossing and the DS go together so well it almost seems as if the system was built for this one game.
Then there's also POKEMON and SQUARE-ENIX games on the horizon.
So talk of the DS being doomed is just silly.

Nintendo DS achieves the biggest launch week for any UK console (either CD or Handheld) with a projected UK sales of 87,000 units. Nintendo's UK GBA launch week (week 25, 2001) was an estimated 67,000, while GBA SP managed 47,000 (week 13, 2003). However, before today Nintendo's Gamecube was the fastest selling console over a launch week with 69,000 units (week 18, 2002) thanks to an extremely low launch price for a static console (around £127). DS launched on Friday with 16 titles available compared to 13 for the launch of the original GBA.

They might as well rename the game division of Japan "Sony Land".
I sware, if Nintendo could just release a few screens, a few screens, of PKMN Diamond & Pearl, it would give a nice boost in sales.
Sony dominating the handheld market as well scares me. And the fact that they made that "most beautiful thing in the world" speach makes me a little pissed too.

The PSP beat the DS by 20,000 units again. This is becoming a trend. At this rate the PSP will beat the DS in Japan in about two years.

I decided to go through their top-50 games and pick out (and attempt to poorly translate) the DS and PSP games.
Only the top ten games has sales figures listed. All games are 5,040 yen (about $47 USD), unless otherwise mentioned.
07: NDS Harvest Moon - 28,312 units
09: PSP Sarugeshichu P! - 20,395 units

For one thing, the sales gap isn't going to be this small forever. If Sony remains the leader, then it could easily overtake Nintendo thanks to Christmas sales (in Japan, it will probably take longer elsewhere).
For another thing, even if it doesn't expand the gap, the fact that the PSP is selling this well at all means Nintendo has lost its monopoly. It's still too early to say if PSP will be a long-term success, but going by the fact that it's consistently outsold DS in Japan for about two months now, it seems that Nintendo is not the only handheld maker in town anymore.
Finally, Mario Kart and Kirby look like awesome games, but ultimately Japan will go to whomever has the best RPGs first. Right now, PSP is the only system with a real RPG at all (Tales of Eternia), so that doesn't bode very well for DS.
DS is going to be a success, but I can't understand how anyone can still delude themselves into believing Nintendo will win this fight with both hands tied behind its back.

But this is great, coupled with the flopped US release and the pushed back Europe release, its looking like Nintendo could finish off the PSP, as a competitor, this year if things go well.

That's not too bad. It's nothing like a sell-out, but it's a pretty brisk pace. I'm feeling more positive and optimistic since I saw last week's DS numbers in Japan. I don't mind Sony giving Nintendo some competition, I just don't want to see Nintendo wind up in a distant second like it has in home consoles. I said it before and I'll say it again: I'd like to see PSP as a serious but not too threatening competitor to the DS, to force Nintendo to be a bit more competitive with things like pricing.

Very positive impressions at NTSC-UK.
I know you weren't trying to downplay Kirby's importance, just wanted to point out why I think it's helping the system.
Post by: Noble~Feather on April 08, 2005, 05:23:05 PM
Also - word has gone out that PSP sold 600,000 units in its first week, which outperfomred DS's American launch. Now before people spat off "OMFG Nintedno is doomed!1", keep in mind DS had a 500,000 shortage, so it simply couldn't outsell 500,000 units, as opposed to PSP, which could.
I'm sure if Nintendo had a million stock of DS's, then they could outsell PSP's American launch! But PSP's US launch is still outstanding, especially considering it's not even the holiday season.
Also keep in mind, launch sales don't determine the future of a system AT ALL. To me, personally, this seems very much like the GameCube vs. PS2 battle. PS2 = DS and GameCube = PSP. PS2 launched with mediocre games, but then later gave birth to fantastic games, which is the same case with the DS. Then GameCube came along and outperformed PS2's launch in terms of both software and sales.
But back to the subject of Japan, I am wondering how long DS can outsell PSP. I'm hoping it can outsell PSP for at least 4-6 weeks.

Heck, judging by this last month, they now love Europe more than the US =p
The japanese situation is interesting tho...over there, unlike everywhere else, they have quality DS games, and a decent number of them at that.
I would hope the DS sales would pick up there on the strength of a few awesome new releases...would be depressing otherwise that the PSp with its band of ports (Im referring to games like the literally ported RPGs folks, I know the PSP has some cool new games as well) would worm their way closer to those people's hearts.

If those are real, Electroplankton must have bombed pretty hard to not sell at least 9k in it's first week.

But then Halo 2 and Resident Evil 4 come along and sell like hotcakes.
It's sad.
Uh... Kirby DS is VERY new and original. Oh, and it wasn't Kirby that caused the hardware sales spike, it was the new colours. More colours combined with Nintendogs coming out next week should make it a huge week for DS.

And I understand that the game didn't orignally cost that much to make. But Nintendo put alot of advertising behind this game. They had that special EP ds giveaway and media day to play with the game. Clearly they wouldn't have done this for a game they thought wouldn't have any effect on thier sales.

The DS really needs to elimiante PSP before it starts to get hectic
Post by: ruby_onix on April 15, 2005, 12:59:54 PM
The PSP apparently sold 620,000 units in March. It launched on the 24th, so that's an 8-day total. It sold 1.1 million games, so that's an attach rate of 1.77.
They don't say how much the DS sold in March, but they say that it sold 428,000 so far this year, which is useful, because DS numbers have been mysteriously absent lately. This means that combined with the 2004 total, the DS is now at 1,653,594 in America (which seems kinda low, I thought people were saying it had broken 2 mil in America a while back).
PS2: 495,000
Xbox: 227,000
GCN: 94,000
No GBA numbers mentioned.

I for one care, as well as the rest of us in the North American gaming community who acknowledge gaming as an art form; this is a brilliant concept and the fact that the japanese aren't buying into it really worries me that I wont see those loveable Plankton stateside.
unless of course you mean that the 4-figure budget would limit the marketing , thus yielding weaker initial sales, in which case i credit your genius

The numbers sonycowboy posted (and yeah, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, despite having a Sony-themed username) say...
Quote
2004 Nov - 479,695
2004 Dec - 745,899
2005 Jan - 152,091
2005 Feb - ???
2005 Mar - ???
2004 Total - 1,225,594
2005 so-far - 428,000
I found some useful numbers from a Nintendo press release here
It says that the DS (which launched on Nov 21) sold-through more than 500,000 units, and had more than a 90% sellout rate (IIRC it had 550,000 shipped) in it's first week alone.
That doesn't match the leaked NPD number, which says less than 500,000, in more than one week.
They also say it broke 1,000,000 sold-through by the time of the press release, Dec 21. That roughly fits the NPD leak.
Also (and here's a neat bit), they say the shipments to USA and Japan would be 2.8 million by the end of 2004. According to the Media Create numbers, the DS sold a hair under 1.5 million by the end of the year in Japan. That would leave only 1.3 million possible for America.
If I had to guess, I'd say that the previous NPD leaks might be a little low, but are probably about right.
428,000 since December seems pretty good, considering that it's the slowest time of the year, but it just seems odd that the number stream dried up, around the DS specifically, and the phrase "almost two million" started getting tossed around in it's place.
My only guess is that maybe the DS got to it's current "almost two million" level back in early February, making the rumors basically true, and then the DS sold almost nothing in March in the face of the one-two punch of a slow time in the industry, and Sony's ground shaking launch hype. Nintendo really didn't put anything out there to try and "fight" the PSP launch, so it wouldn't be a surprise.
If that's how it played out, and the DS was on it's heels more than we realized, now would be a very good time for the DS to deliver a big game (as if there's ever a bad time for one of those). Or some big news. E3 can't come fast enough.

Why??
Because NDP can't hang out in every store in America, spying on people and physically counting every hardware/software piece that gets sold every month. They make deals with stores to get a look at their computer records.
Walmart and a couple other stores refuse to play along with NPD, or maybe they just ask for unreasonable amounts of money.
NPD supposedly accounts for that though. They extrapolate what they can't confirm.
Most good political polls only contact a few thousand people and then they extrapolate a few million. And they do a pretty good job of it. If NPD "only" has something like 75% of the industry's sales known to them as undeniable fact, you'd think their estimates would be pretty reliable.

I just hope they don't assume that because it's selling well in the NPD-compliant stores, that it is selling well in the ones that aren't. All three of the Walmarts closest to me have sold exactly one PSP combined. I don't know if Kmart counts on the NPD, but the two closest to me do not even stock the PSP, or they keep them locked in an inivisible case, because I can't seem to find where they are kept. (although they do stock the games). I'm willing to bet the PSP numbers are significantly lower than what is reported.

That's too bad... the TRU 90 percent off clearance would have caused more than a few amusing blips their february numbers since a ton of Dreamcast and N64 games got blown out for pocket change.
On a side note Sprung's numbers don't do it justice at all. It's not the best game ever but it's easily better than almost half the DS games out to date.

QuoteGood polling requires randomization. This sampling isn't random, and therefore there can be confounds. For example, Walmart may be more likely to sell cheaper hardware. No one can actually say what the margin of error is without doing a whole lot of looking at trend data for the sales from nonplayers to see if variations like these exist.
Most good political polls only contact a few thousand people and then they extrapolate a few million. And they do a pretty good job of it. If NPD "only" has something like 75% of the industry's sales known to them as undeniable fact, you'd think their estimates would be pretty reliable.

With DS's 1 million lead, and the fact it has GAMES people will buy a system for coming out for it, I guess it's safe to say Nintendo DS has Japan.

Either way, the PSP will also sell very well...its path and strategy is clear and its multiple functionalities will find a sizeable number of fans. That in itself is fairly inevitable...a price drop will likely start the next stage of large-scale PSP sales.
But hey, if you dont care for a PSP then no worries either way as DS owners have an assload of cool games to look forward to: frankly I think the DS software library will, in a year's time, stand as an impressive entity once the current development cycle has seen through its output and the RPGs and shooters and online enabled games permeate the lineup.

<derail> I theorize that its multiple functions will be what makes the PSP totally unappealing to game developers. I mean, the DS is pretty much a game-only device, even with those afterthought Play-Whatever things (as they should be... afterthoughts). That means whoever has a DS is going to be buying mainly video games.
The PSP, however is a game/movie/mp3 player that Sony can't decide what they want to market as. I mean it mainly plays games (it is called the Playstation Portable for a reason), but also has built-in move playback and mp3 things, and those were not afterthoughts. I heard that there will be more UMD Movies at the end of the summer than actual games for the PSP. And Sony oddly won't shut up about the Ipod and keeps talking about taking that down instead of the Gameboy/DS (jeez eyes on the prize, guys). That means it is very possble given it's multiple functions that people are buying a PSP without a game, or that they will buy very few games. That's bad for Sony, that they lose money on the PSP itself and can't make any up in game royalties or their own software. But most importantly it's bad for 3rd parties. They find themselves competing against music and movies alongside higher budgets for handheld games.
Now despite the DS's cheaper development, let's suppose the budgets for each system were about equal. If you were a third party, which system would you make games for? A machine with a higher installed base comprised of dedicated, game-buying customers, manufactured by a company who, aside from optional add-ons, promotes it as such? Or a machine with a smaller, fragmented installed base that users may or may not buy games for, made by a company that can't decide what market it is in?

That would honestly depend on what kind of game I was making. A game like GTA truly does not fit the general Nintendo-system owning audience as well as it does the general PSP-buying audience.
This is a conclusion reinforced by the actions of third parties this Gamecube generation (LucasArts, another chance!!).
However, I am not saying the DS does not have the potential to change that unfortuneate culture...it will need the right kind of games tho, and the likes of Metroid Prime Hunters, Another Code, Goldeneye, Castlevania and Age of Empires are a good indication of a more well-balanced system.
I do want to note tho, that the hardcore gaming crowd who loves their RPGs are almost guarunteed to have a DS in their future...the stable of japanese-style RPGs already slated for the DS is very impressive.

It somehow fit the GBA's audience. But you miss my point. 3rd parties generally put things on the market leader. The DS is the market leader. And even it were more even, the DS is selling more games because it is a mainly game-playing device.
And if you meant this to be a segue into saying "Nintendo is for kids," well, then, you're sad.

Anyone know about how many have been sold worldwide? PGC said it was three million on 4/26. The following day, GameSpot says the total number sold is five million. Who's right?
Post by: IceCold on April 29, 2005, 09:31:38 AM
And Gamespot is right - the total is more than 5 million now (I don't know exactly what it is). The North American lead is even more because of the gap between releases.

As for PSP games, I could've sworn I read that at least 2 PSP games have already been cancelled and moved to the PS2. Their names escape me.
Post by: Blackknight131 on April 30, 2005, 11:03:42 PM
But anyway, I agree that third parties tend to shift thier focus to the market leader...I mean, cuz its obvious. However, I can understand at this juncture, this early time in the platforms life, for third parties to basically not worry about current installed user base and to bet on the platform that they feel best fits their game.
That said, some choices just seem aggravatingly unfair...like Command and Conquer for the PSP. RTS would seem to be such a sweet match for the DS. Oh well...guess thats one less game I would be inclined to support EA for =p
Jump SuperStars is due in the late Summer/early Fall...IN JAPAN, of course.
A good number of folks feel that due to some of the obscure characters, the game will not make it to these shores. However, the way I look at it: you got DragonBallz, you got Naruto, you got One Piece, you got Shaman King. All of those are airing in the States, and Dragonballz alone should be enough to get that game localized.
Of course, lets first see how good the game truly is...its NOT in-house Nintendo developed, tho surely they have a deep level of input for it.
Post by: NRevolutionR on May 01, 2005, 10:27:57 AM
It's still in developement right? I haven't seen anything on this game since last E3.
Post by: Blackknight131 on May 01, 2005, 05:35:40 PM
We can speculate tho right? =p
Its likely being developed by the same Nintendo-Q-funded/Square-offshoot team that made the GC game, and it would be fairly likely to have some snippet of it at E3. The name combined with its multiplayer nature would make a strong DS companion...especially in the shadow of the coming Online network launch.

www.GameScience.com has posted software sales for DS and PSP up to 4-11-05, basically DS software has sold 2,054,016 and PSP software has sold 1,168,173. The sales don't count the recent release of Naruto 3 and Nintendogs, so it is needless to say that the DS software sales are even more marginally greater than PSP. Although at this point the PSP most likely still have a higher tie ratio.
Hopefully publishers and developers notice this and start up more ds support or maybe even some jump shipping from psp to ds!

Yeah, in November, right before Japan's holiday season shopping. Pokemon will most likely boost DS sales just like Nintendogs. The DS has it good for the rest of the year. I wonder when there will be a price drop, that will increase sales also.....

Nintendo DS with 11 titles,
Gameboy Advance with 11 titles,
PSP with 5 titles,
Although the PSP is continuing to sell, not as well as DS, the games for the PSP system seem to be left on the shelves by the Japanese public.

Nintendo's #15 is Touch Kirby.
Yep, #25 and 33 are Megaman. Because he's "Rockman" in Japan, and they have that L/R interchangability thing.
#31 is Made is Wario.
#47 is Mario Party Advance.

NPD doesn't release the rankings very often, as they make you subscribe to their info(several thousand $$$ a year)
but the April's NPD #'s(N.A.) are on the page before this one
Quotesource
Unfortunately, the game industry is much less open about sales data than other industries, like the movie industry. Whereas various sites list weekly box-office #s and lifetime box-office numbers for pretty much every movie out there, there is no easy way to determine such data for games.
The leading data collector in the U.S. for games is NPD Intellect (www.npd.com) They charge upwards of $15,000 per year to subscribe to their data, which provides detailed sales breakdowns, per title.
NPD periodically releases public top-10 lists for a given month or year, but they don't go deeper than the top 10, and they don't include sales figures (just a ranking).
For Europe, TRST is the main record keeper. Apparently, they have recently been bought by NPD. Google for 'NPD TRST'.

The pic is from the website for Super Real Mahjong Dousoukai (Reunion) for the GameBoy Advance, a game that will never ever ever be seen on a Nintendo console in America, despite the fact that Seta/Rocket censored the game into oblivion just to get it on the GBA.
Naru's hairstyle is most instantly recognizable by the little antennae/feelers.

August is when the next stage of ownage will take place, with Jump Superstars and Dragon Quest coming out, with more games that I forget. Then in November it'll be the final nail in the coffin, with the unstopable trio of Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and POKEMON.. and maybe New Super Mario Bros and Mario & Luigi 2 as well.. my god that will be insane!
The US is a completely different story, I believe the DS has a bit of a struggle there, people will look on the shelves and see lots of crappy movies and assume PSP has 10 times more games than DS. I wish Nintendo would hurry up and release more games in places that aren't Japan.

Well I suppose it's better than Nintendo losing money hand over fist on them. Still I don't want them and thus don't want Nintendo wasting resources on them. So I would consider this a bad thing in the sense that it gives Nintendo a financial reason to continue to pursue a target market that doesn't include myself. I only want Nintendo to be successful so that they continue to release games I like.
However they still haven't released this type of game in North America and that's where the real money is so I wouldn't declare this a great idea yet. I don't think this is a winning strategy for a console, even in Japan, so for Nintendo's sake the Rev better not have a similar focus.

Ian, for Pete's sake, you used to write huge diatribes on this very line of thinking. Especially to Paladin, because he feels the EXACT SAME WAY about online gameplay. You used to refer to people who said THIS EXACT PHRASE selfish and the cause of all of Nintendo's problems. What happened to THAT Ian?
And whoa, is Wario Ware DS still in the Top Ten? Jesus.

Well it increases their marketshare. "Non-games" don't sell INSTEAD of "hardcore" games, they sell to people outside the userbase, they bring new people in = a larger userbase = more third party support = more games.
The only "non-game" that doesn't appeal to me is the dictionary.
Post by: Ian Sane on June 20, 2005, 08:54:35 AM
The concept of non-gamer didn't exist at the time I was against this line of thinking. Usually when people say something like this they're talking about certain genres or styles. In Paladin's case it was an extra feature which I felt just adds to a game. This is slightly different. This is the creation of products that aren't even really games at all. I don't like sports games but I won't protest Nintendo making a sports game because it attracts more gamers to the userbase which attracts more third party support to create more games. This attracts people who aren't gamers and thus encourages the creation of product for them. This is like a different market entirely.
Before it was like we were comparing different types of music. Now we're comparing music albums to books on tape. I can deal with the creation of games I don't like. But a shift into an entirely different product is worth getting upset about. There's never been a situation before where Nintendo has dedicated focus to people who don't play or want to play games.
Post by: PaLaDiN on June 20, 2005, 09:21:05 AM
"Well Nintendo might have a point about Japan, but if they think that's going to hold up in North America they're sadly mistaken. I'm sick of NCL making decisions that have an international effect. It's like they stopped making pizza in the US because the Japanese seem to prefer sushi. Nintendo needs to make both pizza and sushi. It needs to be an "and" company, not an "or" company. I shouldn't have to choose between them. Back in the SNES days we used to have both. This is just more proof that Nintendo's being short-sighted and profit-driven these days.
Besides, by appealing to non-gamers Nintendo is sacrificing the real gamers who stick with them through thick and thin. They still haven't made any real games I would buy a DS for yet. I hope this doesn't encourage them to use the DS business model for the Rev, because that would, well, suck."
Normally I wouldn't be this childish but after reading his post I couldn't help it. Sorry Ian, I'll stop being an ass now.
"This is the creation of products that aren't even really games at all."
By your definition, Ian. The reason you don't consider them to be games is because they don't appeal to your tastes. What if I told you that I thought online games weren't really games at all but bastardized graphical chat programs? Who are you to say that playing with a puppy isn't a game? How are brain teasers not games? You might not think of them as games, but other people do.
You're just as selfish as I am.
Post by: Ian Sane on June 20, 2005, 10:01:42 AM
"The reason you don't consider them to be games is because they don't appeal to your tastes."
It's not so much I don't like them, it's that they lack key elements of what I think defines something as a videogame. Like even if I do like them they don't provide me with the same type of enjoyment that a videogame does. It's like how I don't think chess is a sport even though some people do. To me it doesn't provide the same type of experience as playing something like volleyball does. I don't mind chess but it's not a sport so if I go to gym class I don't expect or want to play chess. When I buy a game system I expect and want to play what feels like a game.
"You're just as selfish as I am."
Only if you weigh our viewpoints as having equal merit. I don't think I've ever said that the concept of not wanting Nintendo to focus on something you're not interested in is selfish. I just felt that in your example you were because to me you were complaining about something pretty minor. I'm not trying to start up that old arguement again, I just see focusing on non-gamers as a bigger shift in focus than adding online support to multiplayer games (I would consider a shift in focus to online-only gaming as very major however). Some people have said that I want Nintendo to act exactly like Sony in order to be number one. I've always responded that I don't and the reason being that I don't like Sony and I don't want Nintendo to be number one by no longer making games that interest me. To me this non-gamer focus is the same thing.
If you were concerned about Nintendo making nothing but MMOs then I would agree with you. But you're rejecting online gaming period which is why I don't. Note how I'm not rejecting touchscreen gaming completely. I'm merely rejecting a certain implementation of the concept, not the concept itself.

Oh yea, I think WW got a price drop; that's why it's back in the Top 10.
It most definitely isn't a "waste of resources". You think that widening your userbase and making a healthy profit is a "waste of resources"? So what if they are not traditional games, or the games you like, yet? The "real games" will come out soon enough. You saw E3 - Mario Kart, SMB, Metroid, all of those games that were announced - those aren't your view of "real games"? Yes, you will need to have a little patience until they come out, but so what? They're still there. Nintendo is making games for both the non-gamer and the gamer, and look at how well they've done so far with the DS. What you see as a waste in resources I see as a blessing. "I only want Nintendo to be profitable if they makes games for ME!" Um, OK then...
Look at it this way. The people who are buying Nintendogs etc right now; many are "non-gamers". But now they have a DS. Nintendogs will finish eventually, and then they'll have a $200 system lying there. You think that they won't buy ANYTHING else after playing "non-gamer games"? Now that they have a DS, they're more likely of buying more games and adding to Nintendo's profit. I mean, they're sure to hear of Mario Kart through advertising and all, and then when their friends tell them "Mario Kart is ONLINE!! I can play with you if yuo buy it!" then many of them will buy it - what else will they do with their DS? This is true for many "gamer" games. That is what Nintendo is trying to do; convert non-gamers so that they can have a wider userbase.
Post by: Ian Sane on June 20, 2005, 01:49:37 PM
A lot of people bring up the DS to prove that there's no point in worrying over this non-gamer stuff and that Nintendo is making games for both groups and everything's cool. Personally I see the DS as the whole reason why I'm concerned. I'm not interested in the current DS lineup. I am interested in some future titles but so far the whole thing seems like it was not designed with my tastes in mind, which is a stark contrast to Nintendo's other systems where I was clearly in the target market. I'll probably buy it eventually but I don't see it suiting my needs as well as the GBA did mainly because so many of the games fall more towards the non-gamer category. If the Rev is anything like the DS I'm going to have a hell of a time finding games for it I want to play.
Post by: Artimus on June 20, 2005, 01:55:37 PM
The DSs' selection problems are not anything to do with a focus on non-games. It just has a very low selection. However, it is not void of great games. Look at Kirby!

I dont feel that worry.
What I'm getting from you is a feeling that Nintendo sees "non-games" perform very well and thus re-dedicates additional resources to their development.
The thing is, I can certainly see added resources being poured into such a direction, but I DON'T see those resources taking away from their existing regular game development. Rather, it is supplemental. Nintendo has the funds to spend on new programmers and liceneses for such endeavours, and I figure they would elect to make the constituent parts of a "non-game" development team seperate from the talent exisiting in their Mario, Zelda, Wario Ware etc etc teams...
Altho actually, wouldn't be susprised if the brains behind Wario Ware would be interested in coming up with new game concepts to appeal to the new market.

Like I said, you need some patience. Yea, we know that your exclusive types of games aren't out yet. But that is no reason to count the DS out. Those games are coming, and lots of them, so wait a bit and then give your opinion. Also, you make it sound like every single game out is a "non game" - come on, that's not true.
Post by: KDR_11k on June 20, 2005, 09:45:55 PM
What defines a game? Seriously, I'd like to see your defintion of what constitutes a game so we can see what other non-games are out there.

A lot of people bring up the DS to prove that there's no point in worrying over this non-gamer stuff and that Nintendo is making games for both groups and everything's cool. Personally I see the DS as the whole reason why I'm concerned. I'm not interested in the current DS lineup. I am interested in some future titles but so far the whole thing seems like it was not designed with my tastes in mind, which is a stark contrast to Nintendo's other systems where I was clearly in the target market. I'll probably buy it eventually but I don't see it suiting my needs as well as the GBA did mainly because so many of the games fall more towards the non-gamer category. If the Rev is anything like the DS I'm going to have a hell of a time finding games for it I want to play.
I can already picture that...
How about these new games, Ian?
"TOO GIMMICKY"
Um, fine, here's a new Mario game...
"TOO MANY SEQUELS"
Gah, here's a new epic game with new characters...
"TOO LATE NINTENDO, MORE BITCHING ON THE WAY"
And have you even played Kirby DS? Sounds like more pointless bitching just for the sake of bitching to me...Don't worry, your pointless sequels that you seem to love and hate at the same time are coming!

American sales figures seem to be off-limits now. NPD got tired of the "leaks".
Japanese sales figures are all that count now. Nintendogs has officially won the internet.

But to answer your question, its the Nintendo made Dictionary/Translator. Its been up high on the daily charts since release, but that doesn't mean much once you see the pretty low sales #'s
Post by: Mario on June 23, 2005, 02:13:12 AM
What's their source? Media Create, Famitsu, Dengeki? Because everyone has slightly different numbers. I think what's happened is they only got numbers from when the games were on the chart, because those are the only ones available to people. Not that it matters, pretty much every big DS release has done well.

As initially predicted at the system's launch, WarioWare has actually outsold Super Mario 64! What IS surprising is how Touch Kirby has done so average, considering it sells over 3/4 million units on the GBA or GC!
That's a stupid thing to say, Touch Kirby is still in the chart and still freaking selling, AND it's doing it on a userbase currently 10 times smaller.
Nintendogs will overtake Super Mario 64 DS eventually, Jump Superstars will rocket to the top of that chart in August, and Pokemon will inevitably top it.

QuoteJust by looking at the site I would think it was safe to say that they are using Dengeki(look @ the color coded console system)

Wow, DS has sold nearly twice as much! What really struck me from this survey was that 23% of DS owners have 6 or more games.
The following was also suprising. Pokemon Dash is almost beating The top selling game of the PSP. Wow. I can't believe Lumines isn't higher on the list of top PSP games though. It's one of the best games released for it. Then again, Kirby isn't doing so hot. At least Nintendogs is selling like mad. Hot Shots was out since the beginning and Nintendogs has already outsold it by 50,000.
Nintendo DS
WarioWare: Touched! : 740,000 units
Super Mario 64 DS : 710,000 units
Nintendogs: 400,000 units
Pokémon Dash: 320,000 units
Kirby: Canvas Curse: 190,000 units

Wario Ware reached 800,000 I believe, Nintendogs is at around 560,000 now. Also, Kirby did better than that, I know it. I'll go check the previous sales posts to see.

Pokemon Emerald came in first with almost twice the sales of the second place spot (Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for PS2).
Edit: Those are for sales in May, and they had no hardware sales when I checked.

Note: Ranked in terms of $$$ sales.
CSFB Notes:
• Overall US videogame software sales were up sharply in the month of May with
sales up 30% y/y, faster than the 9% growth we saw in April due to strong
performance from Pokemon and Star Wars titles. 128-bit software sales were up
9% year over year. Handheld software sales were up 156% y/y, benefiting from
another full month of software for the PSP and the release of Pokemon Emerald. The
PSP sold approximately 250K units in its third month. 128-bit hardware sales were
down 17% y/y in May, with PS2 unit sales up 8%, but Gamecube and Xbox down
35% and 40% respectively. This brings the install base of 128-bit consoles to
approximately 51.4 million in the U.S.
• Electronic Arts U.S. videogame sales in May were down 8% year over year. The
company’s sell through should pick up with the release of three titles in June: Medal of
Honor: European Assault, receiving strong initial reviews (~80%), Battlefield 2, which
is off to a very strong start, and Batman Begins. For the quarter to date including May
PC game sales, U.S. sell through is down 29%.
• Take Two’s U.S. videogame sales in May were down 1% year over year. The
company had no new releases in the month, however April’s Midnight Club: DUB
Edition sold 228K units. For the quarter to date including May PC game sales, sell
through is up 49%. The most significant title from Take-Two in the calendar quarter is
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which released in early June on the Xbox and PC.
• THQ U.S. videogame sales increased 13% year over year in May. The company’s
WWE Wrestlemania XXI performed well with approximately 135K units sold in its
first two months. For the quarter to date including May PC game sales, sell through is
up 12%. The most significant release in the current quarter should be Destroy All
Humans!, which launched this week on the PS2 and Xbox and is receiving solid initial
reviews (~80%).
• Activision’s U.S. videogame sales were down 24% year over year for the month of
May, due to the tough comparison with last May’s Shrek 2.The company released
Madagascar mid month, which sold approximately 46K units. For the quarter to date
including May PC game sales, sell through is up 59% due to the strength of the Doom
franchise.
• Midway’s U.S. sales in the month of May were down 1% year over year. The
company had a difficult comparison with last year due to continued sales of NBA
Ballers, which released last April. For the quarter to date, sell through is down 36%.
• We expect another solid month in June given the number of titles being released,
despite the difficult comp created by last year’s hardware price cuts.

Here are numbers from Sony, and intriguingly, they compare most closely to figures from Nintendo for Game Boy Advance sales (instead of for the DS):
Sony says it sold 250,000 PSPs in May (more than $62 million in revenue).
The obvious competitive yardstick is Nintendo's DS: about 57,000 units that month.
But here's the eye-opener: Nintendo says its GBA sales totaled 223,000 in May.
From Sony's point of view, the PSP is THE portable game machine of choice.
From Nintendo's perspective, the combined clout of the GBA and DS is the leading market force.
that should give an idea of how things are going, I will look around for total #'s sold.
Post by: Ian Sane on June 30, 2005, 08:53:09 PM
That doesn't mean anything. They're different products and thus their sales shouldn't be combined. It's like when people say that Nintendo is number one because the Cube and GBA combined outsell the PS2. Does the Cube benefit at ALL in terms of image or third party support or media coverage or retail shelf space from this "number one" position? No, because they're different systems. It's the same with the DS. In regards to any of the perks that market share provides all that matters for the DS are DS sales.
If Nintendo's allowed to combine GBA and DS sales then Sony is allowed to combine PS1 and 2 sales and we all know how silly that is.

Thanks Ruby Onix! I'm really curious about how America is going to pan out...especially when all the really big DS games come out and then PSP will have GTA which will sell like hot-cakes...except nobody buys hot-cakes all that much...so rather it will sell like pokemon. Very interesting nonetheless.

QuoteI think this is the info you were looking for, even though it looks a little inaccurate.
Famitsu has released market-data on first-half-2005 hardware and software sales in Japan. The stats show a 1.8 tie-ratio for Sony's PSP and a 1.9 tie-ratio for Nintendo's DS, with both machines selling similar numbers.
Since launch, the report says, 1.5 million PSPs and 2.65 million software units have been shipped to stores. The top-selling PSP game is Minna no Golf, with sales of 232,000 copies. Nintendo has sold through to customers 2.3 million DS units, and 440,000 DS games. Its top seller is Nintendogs, with sales of 495,000 copies.
Over the last six months, though, PSP numbers closed in on the DS, with 1.1 to the DS's 1.2 million units.
In the market overall, the magazine's 100 top-selling titles for the first half of 2005 include 17 from Nintendo, 12 from Namco, and 10 each from Sony and Konami. Square Enix and Bandai each have 7.
A chart of game publishers, ranked by copies sold, features Nintendo at the top, with 3.1 million copies; Sony second, with 2 million; and Namco and Square Enix tied for third, with around 1.5 million each.
In the first half of the year, a total of 24.4 million game software units were sold, down from 28.3 million over the same period last year.
"Nintendo has sold through to customers 2.3 million DS units, and 440,000 DS games. Its top seller is Nintendogs, with sales of 495,000 copies." does that seem a little off to you too? Are they missing a '0'? if the tie ratio is 1:2 it would appear that they missed a zero .
and why are they comparing Sony's 'shipped' to Nintendo's 'sold'?

"Over the last six months, though, PSP numbers closed in on the DS, with 1.1 to the DS's 1.2 million units."
These are the figures for the last six months. Before that, the DS already had a million lead, but the PSP started selling and cut into that million lead. A few weeks ago, the DS regained the million lead with its consistently good sales. So over the last six months it has a lead of 100k, and before that it had roughly a million more. Therefore, the DS is in the lead by about 1.1 million units.

I assume it would be to make Sony look better. Sony rarely uses true sales. They always tend to use shipping numbers to sound more impressive.

Not to "Joe Average" who only quickly reads through it and figures that the two figures are close, instead of them measuring two differents things. Not only that, but it makes the entire first part bull $^&*, and obviously in favor of Sony.
1.8 tier vs. 1.9 tier? Yeah, I guess, except the 1.8 Sony "tier" is simply how many games have been shipped to stores compared to systems, instead of how many games have been sold compared to systems like is being done with the DS data there.

Yea, 'cuz that's a real "traditional, regular game"
And Famicom Wars isn't really appealing to Japan, as pointed out.
Wait for some other of these "traditional" games; I guarantee they will sell well. Look at Jump already.

Naw man, thats just how Goemon does in Famitsu. They ain't too hot on Goemon generally.
If anything, thats ENCOURAGING, coming from Famitsu...apparently the game is a bit short as well, unfortuneately.

Yea, I'm not quite understanding where folks are getting the "Famicom Wars is not popular in Japan" idea...if anything, the fact that the game series has survived and continued to spawn since the days of the famicom would seem to indicate it does well enough for itself over there...
It certainly has garnered an excited following in America tho.

Hmm...odd. And kinda sad. Apparently the GBA games were not even released there until the compilation pak Famicom Wars 1+2 last November.
How very odd...it used to be fairly popular back in the days of the SuperFami.

2,730,876 vs. 1,562,812
Sources/Monthly #'s would be great too.
I am thinking about creating a thread, on G4 Forums, where the DS and PSP stand today. I am going to make a huge, unbiased as can, sales thread how both systems are selling on each continent. This will lead me to my next question, is there a hardware sales update on how the DS is doing in China, Australia or South America (if it is even there)?
Oh yeah, I also have one last question, when was PSP 2.0 firmware update released? I would imagine it increased PSP sales slightly, in both Japan and North America.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 05, 2005, 01:19:56 AM
and the PSP 2.0 update was released a week or so ago iirc. there may or may not be more info on the PSP update in the 'Other Systems' section.

NDS numbers after January do not seem to be available, as NPD seems to be combining them with the GBA for some reason. But they're rumored to be around 50,000 a month from March to May.

2nd edit: Some Blog translated into english
according to this blog
JSS sold out of its first 2 shipments equaling 320k

MC's #'s were only for the 1st 4 days, is it possible that P:XD sold almost 100k a day for the next 2 days? I doubt it but it could be possible.
As for JSS, iirc, it was said that they nearly sold out of the initial 1st 2 shipments and it was really hard to find a copy at a store. Im pretty sure that the 1st 2 shipments were barely more than enough to cover the pre-orders

The numbers are in and people really do love Nintendogs. The DS-only puppy simulator sold about 250,000 copies in its first week, according to Nintendo. Tendo goes on to say that the game is both America’s hottest selling video game and the best-selling new game franchise ever to hit a portable system.
Nearly 15 percent of all DS owners bought Nintendogs in just a week, a virtually unprecedented adoption rate for any title on an established system. And it’s also helping sell new DS hardware. Coupled with a price drop to $129.99, retailers are reporting DS sales up between one and a half and three times previous levels, and last week DS comfortably outsold our portable competitors
I guess those commercials hit their intended targeted audience afterall.
p.s. what were the Japanese #'s for this game?
edit: already posted on the main page
from someone reliable

Nintendogs in the US sold 220,000 units in the first 5 days. - Dachshund sold the most with 85,000 - with Lab Retriever selling 70,000 and Chihuahua selling about 65,000.
DS Hardware went from 17,000 the previous week to 50,000 the week of Nintendogs' launch.

Of last week's top ten, Nintendo handhelds account for 39% of the sales. If you count total sales of the games in last week's top ten Nintendo handhelds account for 55%. If you count hardware sales for last week they account for 58%.
Post by: trip1eX on September 09, 2005, 08:59:38 PM
I wonder if the PSP is taking away business from Nintendo much or creating a new market?
I am a bit worried that the PSP will pick up steam in a year or two when it falls in price and the game library grows, memory stick prices fall further and umds get cheaper and more plentiful.
But then again I think it's appeal is more multimedia.

to be fair, the nintendo versions were pretty much the only ones advertised by EA themselves unless it was a third party commercial like Walmart who featured them all.

They should have advertised the hell out of this game right before 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' movie
They should also update their demo kiosk more than every 4-6 months... is there even a demo out?

although I do like one show on MTV - Nick Cannons Wild'N'Out
I think I saw one commercial once and that was it, they should have just delayed it to REV and completely revamped the graphics for next-gen, needless to say I will buy the game once it hits the $20.00 bargain bin (which should be pretty soon)

10 NDS Yawaraka Atamajuku (Nintendo) - 24,000 (491,000)
Insane sales by Super Mario Bros re-re-re-re-release. PSP's "killer app" got beaten by Tamagotchi on DS. Phoenix Wright (Gyakuten Saiban DS) actually has another limited edition version which sold about the same as it in the daily charts, so it's probably like #11 or #12 here, so the game did very well. Also incredible continued sales from both Brain Trainings, which are now over a million combined. It's impressive they stayed on with all these new releases, they'll probably move back UP after this.
Third pillar indeed.
Hardware sales soon.

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

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...

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?

Kind of dissapointing that Jump Superstars is trailing so much, but, apart from that, Nintendo for the win. Who would've thought a rerelease of SMB, a tamagocchi game, and Brain Training would do so well? (I'd make a point about Nintendo possibly getting the wrong message from this, but then I'd sound too much like Ian).

Well, it HAS been out for quite a while now... And it's still in the top 10, so I'm sure it's sold it's share of copies. I know that the first 2 shipments were all sold out, so it still did well.

Why? It would be odd to turn down the Xbox 360 before it even launches when stores have kept in stock the poor selling Xbox for so long, unless they signed an agreement with Microsoft for the first system, or another contract type of situation.

More domination! The consistant selling power of these NDS games and Super Mario Bros is crazy. Jump Superstars, Nintendogs, Phoenix Wright, Mario Tennis Advance & Doctor Mario/PanelDePon are all selling solidly in the top 20 too. Wario Ware Touched also pops back into the top 20 in the daily charts every few days.
DS hasn't had any significant new releases for a while, but next week Super Princess Peach, Where Do Babies Come From? (Project Rub 2), Pokemon Touruze and some other DS games that are slipping my mind come out, should be pretty big.
EDIT: Oh yeah and Gunstar Super Heroes debuted that week, but it tanked horribly. Probably only sold about 3,000 copies, if that.

So...any bets on Mario Kart's sales in week one? And the DS's system sales that week?
Thinking about it this is going to be one sad year for the PSP in Japan. It's not like North America where it will at least have Grand Theft Auto. There's like no major hits on the horizon and the DS has probably the best selling handheld title of the year coming up. Plus Animal Crossing, Mario and Luigi, Children of Mana...etc.
Post by: Mario on October 12, 2005, 08:30:52 PM
In November/December there's Animal Crossing, Pokemon Dungeon, Mario Kart, Mario & Luigi 2, Dragon Quest Slime Mori Something, Brain Training 2, Mushi King DS, Sonic Rush, Super Monkey Ball, Dragon Ball Z DS. All of those are pretty much guaranteed at least 100,000 sales, some will go MUCH higher. There also could be some surprises like the budget priced Simple DS series and that English Training, games like that, also i'm probably forgetting some. Not to mention the games that are already out which will get a nice boost like Nintendogs.
PSP has less games than that even being RELEASED, and of those the only ones I think might make a splash are Talkman (tiny splash), or maybe the uh... Metal Gear Acid budget re-release. Ok, seriously, PSP has nothing.
Let's not forget about GBA too.
The new Rockman games are going to be big and lets not forget about a little title called Final Fantasy. (I think FF4 is the one being released this year)

PSP might as well give up on Japan and stick to NA and europe.
I wonder what will happen to the PSP's sales in japan once the ipod video shows up there, I mean most japanese use it for UMD's but will that continue?

PSP has done better since the White one came out. But expect a surge to 50,000 or so next week with Princess Peach, Where Do Babies and Pokemon Torouze coming out. PSP should drop to 26-29,000.

3. Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends (DS) - 81,810
4. Nintendogs: Dachshund and Friends (DS) - 73,711
5. Pokemon Emerald (GBA) - 68,490
Also, the DS is now back in the lead for total game sales. According to Nintendo Insider the PSP had taken the lead last month but now it's back to 4,663,371 for the DS to the PSP's 4,656,258. This month and next will be interesting. The last two weeks have seen a ton of high-profile DS releases, plus we should expect continued strong sales for Nintendogs. The PSP gets Liberty Stories on the 24th, so it will have a week worth of sales for that. I imagine the DS will hold a slim lead as it has more than a single title to go on. Then it should regain a large margin of victory when November hits with Mario Kart. Though PSP system numbers for September are currently unkown it seems likely the DS held on to its lead, seeing as it saw a huge spike itself and the PSP had no noteworthy releases.

I'm actually quite surprised at the relatively low DS sales numbers. 164,000, even with Nintendogs (late August), Another Code (granted, a little late), Advance Wars, and all the other decent titles that have come out. Those are all quality titles, and they should have helped move a lot more DSes off shelves. Nintendogs must have sold some DSes in August and some in September, but in August the sales were up only 26% from the previous month...
I'll wait for the Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan sales - they should be exceptionally strong with all the mouthwatering titles coming up. Castlevania got released on Oct. 4 as well, so it should count towards October and make that month even stronger for the DS
EDIT:
for Another Code sales so far - 5,000 copies in 5 days - hopefully it keeps selling in Oct. I saw quite a few commercials for it online too...

QuoteFirst, I can't believe so many people bought SMB. Here I was thinking that the Japanese are absolutely crazy for buying the re-re GBA release and now I find out that we're just as crazy.
Classic Nes Series: Super Mario Bros. - 548,027
Classic Nes Series: The Legend Of Zelda - 360,732
Classic Nes Series: Zelda II: Adventure Of Link - 246,313
Classic Nes Series: Dr. Mario - 236,343
Classic Nes Series: Pac-Man - 197,472
Classic Nes Series: Metroid - 148,691
Classic Nes Series: Castlevania - 117,521
Classic Nes Series: Excitebike - 72,418
Classic Nes Series: Ice Climber - 69,186
Classic Nes Series: Bomberman - 62,303
Classic Nes Series: Xevious - 49,092
Second, I can't believe Pac-Man sold so well. I don't even remember this game being released on NES. Although I suppose it's pretty stupid to think it wasn't. But still, who'd buy that when you can get one of the fifteen Namco collections that include Pac-Man plus another 3 or 4 games for the same price?
Third, are there really only 11 Classic NES Series games released? That seems like an odd number. Are we missing one?
Fourth, I can't believe so many people actually bought this game. Don't they know they can spend an extra $10 and get Zero Mission, complete with unlockable NES Metroid? Just sad.
And last, why hasn't there been a Classic NES Tetris released? You'd think this would be perfect. Especially considering no one's made a good Tetris game since Tetris Attack (or maybe Tetris DX; I can't remember which one came out more recently). Is there a problem with licensing?
Post by: Ian Sane on October 20, 2005, 11:23:54 AM
Yeah it's a licencing issue. Nintendo used to have the rights to Tetris but now THQ does. Why else do you think the GBA Tetris game is horrible?

Anyway, I was right on with my PSP estimate (26,000-29,000) but a little off on my DS estimate (50,000). When do/does Peach come out? This current week?
I expect a hold for the DS around 40,000. If those games haven't come out yet then it could climb a little to around 48,000. PSP should continue it's drop to around 24-26,000.

My predictions were right on for the DS this week (smack in the middle) but the PSP help up better than I predicted. Next week probably around 26,000 for the PSP and 36,000 for the DS.
And SEGA gets the ****-on-a-stick award of the week for their lame copy of Nintendo's Brain Training games. Hopefully it drops from here on out.
Post by: Mario on October 27, 2005, 10:42:00 PM
I think this is a case of either these games not tempting new users or people bought a DS over the past few weeks upon hearing about these games. I look forward to seeing the hardware sales on the week of the first Pokemon DS information and/or screenshots to give me more insight. It could also be a case that DS sales would have been lower this week but the new releases kept it steady.
Where Do Babies Come From? flopped hard, which was expected.
Also, good lord, Brain Training DS went UP again.

I am going to get one, but not till next year after I have done away with Christmas shopping and Christmas itself.
I hope the GBM bombs at that stupid price point. =(

Quite surprising considering UK is Nintendos worst territory that isn't Australia. (though I think it's actually worse than Australia at the moment, considering Nintendogs is #1 here and #38 there)

Artimus - September NPD numbers were missing PSP sales info. Apparently, the figures were released sometime later, but it wasn't widely publicized (at least not where I hang out).

Where did you guys get the UK Numbers? Is there a website that keeps track of all of that, kind of like Media Create for Japan? There are too many fanboys that get all rilled up when they see the DS beating the PSP, I need a good source.
These UK hardware sales aren't actually publicly released, but a Nintendo PR guy who posts on Gaming-Age Forums posted them.

Where the heck did this Pac Pix resurgance come from? Over 11k in sales last month which makes up over a third of it's total sales. Horray for Castlevania! Those sales put it in position to be one of the best selling handheld Castlevania's ever (although it will be hard pressed to pass Circle of the Moon's over 400k in sales). Trauma center did quite well for such an unconvential game and hopefully good word of mouth will help give it legs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney hasn't exactly lit the world on fire but was a rather low key release that came towards the middle of the month (not to mention it only seems to be carried by EB and Gamestop).

I'm happy for Trauma Center, it's a great game (although it does get frustratingly difficult near the end). Advance Wars definately took a big dip this month though. After a strong 2nd month I was hoping it could sustain moderately high numbers through the holidy. Hopefully the Christmas rush will give it a nice bump.

Someone from GAF does these totals in this layout, but I add them up myself just to be sure. Nintendogs climbed up a few more spots, Pac Pix, Trace Memory, Lunar and Kirby made up places and a VERY impressive debut from Castlevania. Pretty bad sales for Metroid Prime Pinball, and Phoenix Wright too, but Capcom only have themselves to blame for that.

Does anyone think anything will surpass the overally Mario 64 numbers? My money is on Mario Kart, but I still don't know if it could catch it. Then again if Nintendogs gets a holliday boost then who knows?

QuoteWhat is there to combine with the PSP though? At least in the GBA/DS case you could ignoratly say, "well, they are both handhelds and both made by Nintendo so lets combine them in one sum" NPD was the one doing the combining anyway though, right?

Now that PSP is selling less than DS, Sony is exercising the same right that Nintendo was, withholding/combinding #'s.

Umm considering that it was on sale for less than a week and still managed to debut at number 3 on the overall sales chart is rather impressive. Obviously it isn't moving at the same rate as it's console counter parts, but it also dealing with a much smaller userbase at this point.
That said, those aren't exactly electrifying numbers... I'm sure it will sell well through the holidays but it doesn't seem to be the "Killer App" that the PSP so desperately needs. It also doesn't surprise me that system sales didn't rise along with the game sales.... after all the majority of current PSP owners have been waiting anxiously for this game for months, and thus I think many of the sales went to pre-existing PSP owners.

So the DS is dominating in every single region! WITHOUT Mario Kart! Holiday sales everywhere are going to be massive.

Obviously the PSP hasn't become a mainstream status icon ala the Ipod like Sony probably wanted, but it definately is seen as the "cooler" more desirable system by most teens and 20 somethings. I know girls who want one for christmas just cause of "how badass it looks". One of my friends who prides himself on always having the newest and best technology didn't even know what a Nintendo DS was till last week when I was telling him to pick up a Mario Kart DS.
Nintendo has to get their product in the public conciousness, and I think Mario Kart and Nintendogs are definately gonna do alot to acoomplish that, but I'd still like to see some commercials for the system itself.

That said, the DS is shaping up to be FAR FAR more than the sparkling innovationy Game Boy I thought it would be. Never before have I been in such a game-related financial crisis.

"Yes. The maisnstream also believes that the PSP is a digital camera, a vibrating condom, and a falafel machine."
To say people have no idea what the PSP actually is, and does... is right. I work at Gamestop and i've had many people come in with misconceptions. The most prevalent is, like someone else said, thinking it plays DVD's. As soon as I tell them it doesn't play DVD and then direct them to the UMD section I can INSTANTLY see them lose all interest in the PSP after eye balling the prices of UMD's a few seconds. Not to mention when I inform them that it can indeed store digital media off of your computer but only if you buy an expensive memory stick.... the price point is really killing Sony.
Even quite a few of the so-called tech guys who have to have the newest and the best are turned off by it. It's just a money sink if you actually want to get any functionality out of it concerning movies and digital media off your computer. And if people arent willing to shove out the dough for the extra their left with what.... the games?... not much of a reason to buy a PSP. Thats why the sales figures showing the DS trouncing the PSP line up exactly with what I see when im working.
Minimal Cost of PSP entry (for full functionality) - $600.00, $250.00 for the PSP, $50.00-100.00 for memory stick, 2 games + 2 movies.
Minimal Cost of DS entry (also with full functionality) - $250.00, which will get you your shiny new ds and three full price games with money to spare.
Sony needs to find a way to cut costs if they hope to compete in sales figures against the DS. In the meantime I will be playing my DS.

According to Nintendo, in one week more than 45% of the people who have purchased Mario Kart DS have taken their game online via the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
In just one week, more than 112,000 copies of Mario Kart DS have been sold in the US. Of that number more than 52,000 unique system/game pairs have connected to the online service for Wi-Fi multiplayer gaming.

Then there's Animal Crossing: Wild World, a game that is appropriate for social interaction. The DS is going to pull people online since it's free and easy. So many already have if Mario Kart is any indication, and Animal Crossing and hopefully later games will maintain that momentum. Metroid Prime: Hunters will get those with trigger fingers excited, hopefully, and then if the Revolution uses the same or similar system, wow. Looks like Sony's going to appear behind in the online department now.
And with the PSP's lack of exciting games (IMO), the DS will probably continue to outsell the PSP for a while.
All I ever hear about the PSP (at least on the Internet) is how people want to emulate Super NES games (or put pornographic videos) on there. It's not very exciting as a gaming system just looking at its own library of games.

Yeah I can't stand that! If I am loosing constantly I still race, If my opponents are winning they deserve it and I continue. You will never see me "Wushu Lv3" disconnect from a race just because im loosing. Though a couple of times I got disconnected while I had huge leads in races and points.

That statement makes no sense. Are you saying the people getting the game for Xmas are more likely to go online with the game than the people who went out and bought it the first week?
Even if 10,000,000 people get the game for Christmas, if the same ratio of them go online that number will still be 45%....

Uh, no. I'm saying that some people who bought the game for their friends and families will not be able to play that game until Christmas day, when they open their gifts and get to play it...
Here is some math:
112,000 sold in one week.
45% played online, which will be 50,400.
There are 61,600 that didn't play online, but how many of those are wrapped in foil and will not be able to open it to play it until Christmas?

For the last three weeks, sales of Nintendo DS exceeded 100,000 units per week, and last week alone sales topped 120,000 across Europe.
That's even MORE than Japan!

Hit releases like Nintendogs are also having a massive impact on Nintendo's hand-held popularity, reaching new gamers and creating an overnight phenomenon. Since its launch on October 7th in Europe, over 1 million copies of the game have been sold. Nintendogs has become like gold dust across Europe with stocks flying off shelves as soon as they arrive in store.

To be fair, how many franchises has Nintendo introduced since then?
Post by: Hans Beckert on November 29, 2005, 03:08:35 AM
Quite a few, actually. Smash Bros., Paper Mario, Custom Robo, Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding, Legend of Stafi, WarioWare, Magical Vacation, Band Brothers, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and Cubivore--or was that just published by Nintendo? I dunno.
There's also Geist and Eternal Darkness, which were primarily developed by other companies, but which Nintendo had a hand in making, and which they published and now own. Don't know if you'd count them. I think they own Doshin, too, and maybe the Skip games, Chibi Robo and Giftpia... Not sure about their involvement in or ownership of Golden Sun, Another Code, Detect Hacker, or Wish Room, though.

Those two are developed by Intelligent Systems, which is an internal studio inside Nintendo. Those franchises, along with Custom Robo, are only new to the US, though, as there have been incarnations of them in Japan for eons.

Did Nintendo have the ability to keep Rare's franchises without a legal fight? I just don't buy into the fact that Nintendo just let stuff that could be theirs... Actually I just checked Rareware copyrighted Perfect Dark as well as published it themselves. So if Nintendo fought all they'd get is Banjo/Conker (maybe don't have those games to check on publication).

Nintendo does, and did. They owned the copyright to several of Rare's properties, including Killer Instinct and Banjo-Kazooie, but gave them to Rare when they let them go, just keeping the stuff related to Donkey Kong. However, they didn't know at the time that they gave these away that Microsoft would be the one purchasing them, and anyone else recall Microsoft being mad that Donkey Kong wasn't part of the agreement?

Are you kidding me? Are we being serious with thinking that MS would have a R&D group that stupid before purchasing RARE? This is a pretty lame debate. MS knew they weren't getting DK IPs...and it was right for RARE to leave with their original IPs. Too bad Crystal Dynamics and Eidos didn't show Silicon Knights the same kind of love with the Legacy of Kain series.
Back on topic: The Nintendo DS is surprisingly making it through the GTA:LCS buzz. I know a lot of people who'd love to pick up this game and I thought it would be the PSPs killer app to take over the handheld market. While still up in the air, the DS looks healthy with Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and more excellent software coming out.

Post by: ruby_onix on December 04, 2005, 01:30:59 AM
Basically, as of June of this year, it was about...
NDS: 1,850,000
PSP: 1,500,000
But those are just rough guesses. Then NPD vocally decided they didn't want the info getting out anymore, and the flow mostly dried up, but it's believed that the PSP continued it's trend of stomping the DS in America after a powerful launch (despite a Mario64DS bundle), finished closing the gap, and probably even pulled into the lead. (If you want a guess, I'd say just under 2 million for each of them.)
Then the second wave of DS games (Nintendogs, Castlevania, etc.) hit America, and is believed to have put the momentum back on Nintendo's side. How strong is anyone's guess. But it presumably held until now, with Mario Kart, WiFi, and Animal Crossing giving Nintendo an additional kick of unknown size. It's likely that with Nintendo being in the lead going into the holidays, and with nobody else having much going on in the console front (aside from some fruitless Xbox360 advertising), the DS will likely win a significant victory over the PSP. Possibly large enough to cement the PSP's doom in America. Unless Sony pulls a rabbit out of their hat. Then Nintendo is doomed, of course. (But seriously, if the PSP manages to win Christmas somehow, then the DS might not ever recover in America. It's a very dangerous time in the console war.)

Those that don't know the industry very well are all trying to pick up that Xbox 360 and would sell their souls for it. I don't see parents buying a portable system to justify not finding the Xbox 360. I see them buying either more games, or whatever is the second big thing on the shopping list.
Post by: Urkel on December 04, 2005, 08:51:33 PM
Although I think the PSP just about lost all the hype it had going for it at launch anyway, the 360 is considered in the mainstream to be the "Big must have item" of the holiday season. The 360 is stealing whatever limelight the PSP could've had.

I don't think the DS is dead even if the PSP is in the lead. There's room for both. The DS is at the lower end of the handheld market. And it's unique at that. PLus there's the gameboy advance. I did here Reggie say they are going to revise the DS hardware a bit to make it look sexier like the PSP.

You "know"? Meaning? Your EB store sold ten of them? Analysts were saying last week how bad game sales had been in November, and PSP was on the disappointing list.

The same thing goes for DS. Of course we don't hear too many comments about DS being doomed in this forum nowdays, but I do hear it elsewhere, and the people thinking that are just nuts. Both systems are going to be around for a long time.

QuoteWell, here is, at the very least, an anecdotal way to determine. Does this gamespot/stop/EB/whatever have any used PSPs in stock? If the store has used PSPs on display, i'd lean more twords the sales pitch idea for this particular store.

PSP is more popular in EB Games/Gamestop whereas Walmart has a partnership with Nintendo. I was in EB games today, and in the span of 20 minutes they sold 3 PSPs all to moms. Afterwards, I was walking through Sears and another mom asked about the PSP. Advertising for the PSP has been more of presence lately as well. ruby might be right - 360 shortage might be helping the PSP.

I actualy convinced one to trade his psp in for a ds so thats a good sign. I also Noticed that at all the used game stores in town, and the stores that rent games also, only have psp umd movies, no games at all. I think thatpeople are starting to realize the psp is pretty worthless as a games machine. On a related note, I just read in Game Informer magazine that Sony is going to redesign the PSP with a built in hard drive or something of the sort, so it looks like they are sticking with PSP as a Tech Device rather than a games system, so that should seal its fate I think.
I still can't wait to see what christmas sales are like though, if DS stomps psp and developers start losing money on making psp games then we should start to see a major shift. By The Way does anybody have the sales data for original Game Boy verses Game Gear? I thought they were pretty close for a while but could be wrong.

Also, here's an example of the Nintendogs effect, in France
The last little boost at the end is when Mario Kart came out.

And just so you guys know. RE4 I believe sold more than a million worldwide on the GC. While the PS2 version may be selling ok in Japan, in America it got outsold by a two-month old Mario Baseball in its launch month, and performed similarly elsewhere. Unless it sells a million in Japan alone, it has no hope of achieving the GC version's sales, I'd wager. I hope Capcom thought it was worth it. (rant over)

Yup, we all thought it was a little too good to be true when all the system numbers were released so quick. Smart move on NPD's part, but a royal screw job for the gaming public.
As for the guy that tried to turn the GTA/Mario 64 DS comaprison into an arguement over mario burn out, you're missing the point. It's simply hypocritical of people to rag on Liberity City for being glorified rehash when the best selling title thus far on the DS is just that. Granted it's good rehash, but rehash all the same.

Mario Kart is actually outselling GTA, considering that they do not count the DS Mario Kart bundle as a sale of the game, and that is a pretty hot item that has sold as well as the Game itself, I reckon.
EDIT: Oh and the NPD has this disgusting habit of ranking things in terms of how much revenue is generated over how much the game actually sold. Which means GBA and DS games have to sell 33% more just to even get ranked alongside Console/PSP titles.

WALMART and TOYS R US and AMAZON), which is by no means an accurate picture.

And also if MK DS & GTA LCS were to both sell 250,000, GTA would be ranked higher because GTA cost $50 while MK cost $30.

everything else = 207,820

difference = 91,506
total DS dominance?
I agree
Nintendo Inc.= 321,208

Well, turns out MKDS was a MASSIVE FLOP! This was supposed to elevate DS sales to giant levels, but it hasn't done anything at all, and if Mario Kart can't, nothing will. No Nintendogs to be seen either, I guess they were just a fad. Pack your things Nintendo, handheld market is crumbling and there's no safe haven anymore! GBA sales are down 500,000 from last year, so DS has taken those away, nobody is falling for this "release lots of games" BS, the three pillars are crumbling all over each other, and Xbox 360 has crushed the fourth before it's even been built, look at that MASSIVE software tie ratio! Third parties would be stupid NOT to put all their games on Xbox 360 now, since everyone would buy them.
Ummm...mario, the DS continues to rip apart the PSP in hardware and software sales, not to mention that NPD ranks software sales by revenue not by numbers sold, relax the DS is winning the war handily.

I know, re-reading my post I probably shoudl have hinted at the sarcasm more.
Seriously though, DS is massive in every country but the US. What happened there?
Post by: MysticGohan24 on December 16, 2005, 05:02:23 PM
problably where majority of the sales are going considering the psp isn't selling software by a long shot. It's seeing the same fate as the ps2 did when it first came out. Most people just brought it to watch movies and nothing more, heh.

2. THey also have the Mario Kart console bundle, and I don't believe the software in there is counted as part of the sales.
So even if it's only for the month, Mario Kart is still doing pretty well. I'd like to see this months numbers when they come out, though, to get a better indication.

My guess is however is that its even less religious than it is in the west as most japanese are not Christian (I think its Shinto/Buddhist which are the dominant religions), thouh that's not saying much since I think the commercial aspects of christmas have totally superseded the religious aspect in even Christian dominat countries.

Still, given that the NPD doesn't include Bundle sales and the DS is offered in bundles while the PSP isn't, I don't think its much of a stretch to wonder if the DS has outsold the PSP even into November and December. The Nintendogs Bundles and Mario Kart Bundles alone, whoooey!

"Moving on to the PSP, how do you think it's gone now we're three months on from launch? What do you make of the reports Nintendo DS is outselling it?
Well that's factually incorrect. PlayStation Portable has been the fastest-selling machine to ten million units. We are bringing in plane-loads of PSPs into Europe and the US as we speak in order to satisfy the demand in the run-up to Christmas, and if you talk to retail they'll tell you it's the hottest-selling piece of hardware right now - by far and away the number one demanded product in stores this Christmas."

emand ratio for the X360 is lower than the PS's. The PSP sold more than the X360 at launch, mostly because it had enough avalable for everyone.
Post by: ShawnSt3r on December 23, 2005, 02:27:29 AM
1.) To the uninformed the PSP is still barely maintaining it's "Oh wow, gotta have it to be cool." status but has decreased largely since its released.
2.) To the informed and those who own a psp it's either "$250.00! AND I have to buy games and expensive UMD's, AND a memory stick? The DS is only $130.00 new and it has all these sweet games coming out, 'purchases ds'....
...or ,for those who already own a PSP, "Yeah the PSP is great 'this justifies the purchase', but I don't really play it much anymore, it was cool at first but im just waiting for some better games to come out... 'sites some sweet umd movie'". I then tell them how sweet the DS is and about all its functionality and they are usually surprised but don't totally buy into it because they have probably invested $500.00 in a psp and they have to stick to their guns.
This is a hugh shift compared to what the average new/uninformed gamer thought during the psp launch window. Something like "PSP is the OwnZorz! The graphics are awesome on a hand-held! DS, was that?!?!" Heh.
Back to topic, it seems according to my observations that DS is outselling PSP by a good margin, especially in the last few months... though is falling short of complete domination like in Japan.
Anyways, I think the DS sales here in the States will somewhat mirror thise in Japan eventually (though maybe not that hugh) It's just taking longer for the PSP buzz to wear off here.

But I had one friends considering trading his psp for a ds and some games, and a couple otehrs consdiering getting one just for mario kart so theres still hope. Plus when we talked revolution they were more interested in it than GC and addmitted ps3 might be too uninteresting and they migth geta rev first and a ps3 latter on. Hopefully they DO geta rev first and pass altogether on ps3. I am not a fanboy but I HATE Playstation and sony noe more than ever and realyl wish tehy woudl just throw in the towel.
ON TOPIC: I can't wait to see the holiday numbers and get a real indication of weather or not PSP will even be around in a couple years.

Back on topic: WooHoo! Almost 1,000,000 DS sold in a month! That's fantastic. It means more revenue for Nintendo, more people developing for the DS and more games for me!(Most important). It's great to see Nintendo dominating after all those articles talking up the supposed superiority of the PSP.
Post by: animecyberrat on December 25, 2005, 05:10:16 AM
SOnys arrogance was if they had enough bonus crap people would get it anyways. But 4 color 8bit GC out sold ful color 16 bit Linx and full color 8 bit Game gear AND Full color 16 bit Turbo Express and full color 16bit Neo Geo Pocket. Then Game Boy Color camein and finsihed off teh copetition which was by that time just wonderswan, and GBA murdered the N-Gage and DS VS PSP is just history repeating itself.
I just hope that if DS continues to do well and Revolution continues to gain support that Nintendo will actualy maek enough money to compete better by making more good games, hopefully more games in general cuuz GC was lacking somewhat bt I realy want them to put more money into making thier games better also.

HOWEVER, it's very possible that most of the games sold this week were to people who already own DS's and for some crazy reason hadn't picked up Mario Kart or Animal Crossing yet, so i'll make my estimate 599,904.

Relax dude, most of these third party reporting firms don't count every sale by every store, for example, NPD in the states doesn't ask for Wal-Mart's numbers, instead it estimates the sales at Walmart, Media-Create also likely misses some sales for similar reasons.

On a seperate note it seems that most Nintendo products were popular this season, especially in Wal-Mart out of the 4 Wal-Marts in my area only one has any Nintendo accessories and the big titles are sold out. (With the exception of Mario Kart which I think they made too many, relitivly to Animal crossing)

That's over 1 million in Japan alone, there could easily have been another .17 million sold around the world too
, in fact I think it's a bit over 10 million now.

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 3, 2006 – Nintendo's 15 years of unsurpassed leadership in portable video gaming continued unabated through the 2005 holiday season. Sales figures show that Nintendo's dual-screened Nintendo DS™, fueled by hit software and new global Wi-Fi capability, has sold approximately 4 million units to date in North America alone. Combined with Game Boy® Advance, the world's most popular portable video game line, Nintendo now enjoys a combined U.S. market share of 78 percent.
Yep, that's 4 million in the US alone. They've sold over 5.5 million in Japan, so that's 9.55 million. That isn't even counting Europe! I'd estimate it's around 12 million. It's at LEAST 1 million, since they announced they'd sold 1 million Nintendogs in Europe, and I highly doubt Nintendogs has more than a 50% tie ratio with the system, so it's probably over 12 million.
For comparison PSP has sold 2.7 million in the US as of December 1, 2.5 million in Japan up til now. That's just over 5 million, and if i'm going to use 2 million for DS in Europe, I'll say PSP has done 1.5 million in Europe. (all I know about over there is that DS > PSP). Sooo..
DS - 12 million (just over)
PSP - 7 million (just under)
Quote
Nintendo also reports U.S. sales of Mario Kart® DS, released on Nov. 14 and featuring live, global Wi-Fi competition, has topped the 1 million mark in just seven weeks. And Nintendogs™, made for Nintendo DS, has surpassed sales of 1.5 million units since its U.S. launch in August.
That is quite big! Perhaps Nintendo DS is coming back in the US after all, I can't wait for December NPD numbers. That would mean Mario Kart DS sold over 700,000, and Nintendogs over 600,000. They didn't mention Animal Crossing in the press release, probably because they destroyed its sales by not shipping enough.

You want to make games for the unprecidented victor in the "Next-Gen HD Multipurpose Livingroom Console Wars" or in other words the PS3, then you have to support the PSP first and continue to support the PSP during. No PSP support = no PS3 access!!!

And you don't have to take my word that it has really good games, ask anyone else! ) You can find cheap used first/third party connector cables at EB/GameStop.Last I heard we are getting FF:CC for the DS and Revolution so obviously someone besides my friends really liked it and had no problems finding the nessary gear. It's such a fun game and you still have GCN Four Swords ;P
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 04, 2006, 01:21:40 PM
FFCC was really a game meant for GBA players w/ GameCubes and GBA-owning friends, not necessarily for GameCube players w/ GBAs. The GBA audience is clearly bigger than GameCube's, so it's evident which audience would have an easier time taking advantage of the game.
Post by: Ian Sane on January 04, 2006, 01:26:37 PM
GBAs are easy to find but the cords aren't. GBA owning friends typically didn't own them nor did they really want to buy them for one and later two games. If Nintendo had the foresight to include the link cable with every GBA then connectivity would have done better.
I personally just found Crystal Chronicles to be a really crummy game, hardware requirements or not. Nintendo totally got the raw deal on that one. GBA support for a crappy game that's FF in name only. I think the multiplayer nature of the game hurt it's appeal too. Sure I have friends with GBAs and even cables but how often are they all at my house? I only managed to play a four player game ONCE. We all have different schedules and neither of us live within walking distance of each other. It took careful planning to play that game and in the end we didn't find it all that great. I've had other times with four GBA owners at my house but they don't bring their GBAs and especially not their cables unless I think to specifically tell them too. It's a multiplayer focused game with no pick-and-play flexiblily. What a stupid idea.

None but FF: CC isn't really an RPG. It's more of a hack 'n' slash with some RPG elements.
The point is that a multiplayer game should be designed for pick up and play. Most people don't have four gamers living in the same house. The design of good multiplayer mode is that when people are over you can just load the game up on a whim and have some fun. The link cable requirement killed that for FF: CC. If friends are over for whatever reason and someone sees SSB or Mario Kart on the shelves and says "hey let's play" we can play right away. With FF: CC in order to have that spontaneous play session at least three of the people visiting had to have the foresight to bring both a GBA AND link cables. That's not going to happen too often.
I think Crystal Chronicles' design better fits online play.

both of these you need to divide by 4 when it comes to cost, cause that four completely unrelated people at four very different locations(the benefit of the internet)
MK = $375 per person
PD0 = $800 per person
Post by: UncleBob on January 04, 2006, 06:17:57 PM
If we're going to cut MKDS and PD0 into four, we should cut FF:CC into four ($150 each).
Sure, one person isn't going to buy all the stuff for MKDS or PD0, but one person doesn't have to buy all the stuff for FF:CC either.

But see, FF:CC wasn't *designed* for that. I don't think *anyone* (Nintendo, Squre/Enix) really expects one person to go out and buy four GBAs and four Link Cables just to play the game multi-player. The game was simply designed for people who have friends who have GBAs. You don't? Well, then the game isn't for you. Just like Madden 06 isn't for me. See how simple it is?
BTW, I work with a guy who wanted to go over to this other guy's house and play against him on his new XBox 360. The guy who owns it told the guy who wanted to play that he'd have to buy a second controller.
Post by: animecyberrat on January 05, 2006, 05:26:33 AM
It would have worked liek Ian said if the link cables were either included with the game or the system, cuz they sold out pretty fast due to limited supply. Also teh fact that so few games used te connectivity properly it was a bad investment. I truely tried to get the mostout of it I wanted to play ffcc and four swords with my freidns as did they but too many factors prevented that, yet we get together once a week to play mario party and smash bros duye to ease of play, since finding 4 gc controlers is so much easier than gba and link cables and such.
back to Ds slaughtering the PSP, this is nes actualy doesnt surprise me one bit I was telling people all along psp didnt have a a chance and now I see the proof. I just wisgh i could get my sony fanboy friends to give it a chance and get theorown so we can play each other online.

Well, see, there's a big difference there.. You don't like Madden, but the fact that you don't like it is because of the genre or the type of game it is. Someone may love FFCC and its gameplay, but they don't have GBA-owning friends, so they wouldn't be able to get the most out of it. There should never be such a tight restriction on a game..
Back to the DS sales - it SOLD OUT in Japan? Geez, Nintendo can never do anything right!

The only real complaint (cost wise) would be about the Link Cable. Yeah, those with GBAs and without a GCN (or just without a use for the cable) won't want to buy the cable, so there a possibililty for an extra $15-$60 cost for the person who owns the game. I can't really defend that part of it (although, again, it's all cheaper than the total cost of other "online" games).
Personally, I've got five Link Cables and only ever purchased one of them - so really, the cost didn't have to be high. My first cable, I ordered from Nintendo (the only way to get them when they were first offered for Sonic Advance/Sonic Adventure 2: Battle). My second one came free with my Pokémon Colosseum Pre-Order that I never picked up ($5 down for the bonus disc and a link cable - I couldn't pass it up). My third one came free with FF:CC, my fourth came free with Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and my fifth came free with my imported FSA (had to get Tetra's Trackers!). Granted, I don't expect everyone to have managed to get all these free Link Cables the same way I did, but considering Nintendo gave so many away (also, there was a GCN bundle that included Wind Waker and a GBA/GCN link cable), to claim that they were hard to get/cost too much just doesn't sit too well with me.
Now if you want to complain about how hard it is to get three friends with GBAs to come over vs. getting three (or more) people together online, yeah, that's a valid complaint. Heck, I have a hard enough time working out a schedule to get two or three friends without GBAs to come over to play regular multi-player games. But again, if you can't get people to play games at your house, would you buy the next Mario Party game? No, it's not for you. The same with FF:CC - it just simply wasn't a game for everyone. It was a game for people with friends who had GBAs. Period.
Post by: IceCold on January 05, 2006, 10:00:27 PM
I don't really think it would hurt them; it just wouldn't help them a lot.. The PS3, in all likelihood, will have a much larger userbase than the PSP, which was opposite from the GBA/GCN comparison. Unless games made for the PS3 go out of their way for connectivity, and the end result is a worse game, then yeah, it could hurt them more..
And UncleBob, do you think that a game should be designed with such a big restriction as FFCC had? If a game is not meant for you, it usually means that you don't like the style of gameplay or the genre or whatever, like you don't like Madden. But that's not the case at all here. You could absolutely love the gameplay in FFCC, but, as you said, it was meant for people with GBA-owning friends. And that means not many people..
All online games have local multiplayer as well.. That means that if you want, you can get 3 other friends to play the game, and all you'd need would be 3 more controllers, not all the equipment FFCC needs. And you wouldn't need online either...

If a game is not meant for you, it usually means that you don't like the style of gameplay or the genre or whatever, like you don't like Madden. But that's not the case at all here. You could absolutely love the gameplay in FFCC, but, as you said, it was meant for people with GBA-owning friends. And that means not many people..
So... Nintendo shouldn't release Electroplankton?

I saw the Micro more as an attempt to cash in on the "portable video games as fashion" trend that the PSP seemed to have got so many sales from. I'm not seeing huge left over stock of the thing anywhere I've gone... so I suspect it's selling about as well as they expected.

I called that the second rumours of another GBA started floating around. Only a complete tool (or a hardcore game collector) would buy a Micro. If you just want a GBA the SP is much cheaper (and now has a better light) and for just a bit more money you can buy a DS and get access to a whole over system's worth of games, a system that is still being supported. Basically Micro sales relied on consumer ignorance or stupidity to sell.
Now hopefully Nintendo knew it wouldn't sell that well and they didn't waste money producing whole warehouses full of Micros.

Er...but aren't GBA sales more than four times that of GCN sales?

QuoteHey, I just got a Micro, so lay off.
Only a complete tool (or a hardcore game collector) would buy a Micro.
I was totally able to resist the Micro until the Famicom version was announced. My GBA SP is starting to show its age, and I hate playing GBA games on my DS (the extra unusable face buttons annoy me) so I figured I'd pick one up, if for no other reason than to play FF IV, V & VI.

QuoteGeez ian, you're not ignorant at all, are you? You've not played a Micro, I can gather. Micro's screen is way sharper and produces a much better picture then the SP and far better then backlit SP. You'll want to trash your SP after playing on a Micro. And speaking of playing, the cross pad and buttons are no more closer together or smaller then the SP, in fact their even further apart thanks to the horizontal layout. And battery time is just the same if not better. And besides the link cable connectivity stuff was a 'complete' failure, so why should it bother you that it doesn't work with those or the e-reader. I'll trade the small size and great screen any day for GB playback.

=D
Which is why I think the game was meant for GBA owners. I don't know REALITY, but would you think there's even LESS people who have GC-owning FRIENDS?

1) Cube Owner who likes RPGs
2) Has friends with GBAs
3) Friends must also like RPGs
4) Friends either must have cables or Cube owner is willing to drop an extra $30-$40 on cables.
Unfortunately, as much as I love RPGs, the opportunity was just never there for me...
The sad part of the whole thing is how much I wanted Square-Enix (OK... mostly Enix) to get back into Nintendo development... then the only Cube offering was something I never got a chance to see... at least I got FFTA, so it wasn't a total loss

Amazing week for Nintendo! 8 of the Top 10 are DS games, 11 of the Top 20 are DS games, and 13 of the Top 20 are Nintendo games.

QuoteEven back in the day it was easy to pick up cables for cheap. Used from GameStop/EB, new/used from eBay, or packed in with the games themself. If you wanted to play the game there were multiple ways to get the cables without paying $15 a pop.

QuotePick the game up, honestly, its quite fun even in single player. Perhaps even more fun, you don't have friends that always want to skip cut sceens and you can enjoy the art work and music at a much more leasurly pace. Granted you won't be able to pull off, say, Blizzaga +2 in single player. It's pretty hard to pull it off, for practical use, in multiplayer anyway. My friends and I can do it on a single monster, or for practice, but against bosses? Forget it, to much stuff smacking you around. If your lucky though, I believe you can pull off *aga +1 with the moogles help.

QuoteYeah, but I meant that not many people could get together with a GCN AND 3 GBAs AND 3 link cables..instead of, say, 3 other controllers.. the restrictions that FFCC placed on the player were too much.

I doubt the DS can keep going this strong for very long...because in about 6 months the entire population of Japan will have one! Keep in mind I have no idea how many people live in Japan, and I'm an idiot. Seriously DS will be up by like 10 million over PSP if it stays this way for about 6 more months though, maybe in less time.

DS should have 7 in the next month. Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Brain Training 1 and Gentle Brain Training (998k, close enough) have already crossed a million, with Brain Training 2, Mario Kart and Tamagotchi approaching. Wario Ware Touched and Super Mario 64 DS will also reach there soon as well, which will make 9.
Also, don't get your hopes up for Hardware Sales, considering DS is sold out it can't have sold too many, this chart is mostly the result of the HUGE train of new DS users over the past few weeks buying more software.

OH SHI! PACK YOUR THINGS NINTENDO. People obviously aren't falling for these Brain Training GIMICKS and this train of games. People don't WANT to buy games Nintendo! Look at PSP, one game in the top 30 and it's #1.
PSP has momentum and this is just the beginning. Highest selling system of 2006 so far.
This is a bad sign for Revolution, how can Nintendo possibly have a chance in the console market when they're even getting destroyed in the handheld market. Seriously, PSP outsold all Nintendo handhelds combined.

What's sad is that it seems highly likely that many Sony fans will be spinning that figure, most of them ignoring the outtages.

I, alone, know many people who are waiting for a re-design or the black or white DS. This includes myself (i'll take either one of three!).
Believe it or not, the DS is ugly. It's uncomfortable, the silver and black combination isn't very sleek, and its buttons are too small. That didn't stop me from enjoying a friend's copy of Trauma Center, but it did put a halt on any plans to buy it. Games that are purely touch-screen based, I could probably play for a long time. Anything else would probably give me a cramp....
Nintendo needs to hurry and get those out this spring before people give up on both the PSP and DS.

Also, there are small face buttons so that they can act as an alternative D-Pad for left handed players..

Post by: 31 Flavas on January 14, 2006, 02:19:04 AM
QuoteTramp all over them? Why is Sony letting the GBA tramp all over them? The lack of US DS sales, if you want to call it that, is just because the GBA is quite apparently still popular here in the states, it is $50 less expensive, and plently of good games for it.

I don't think it would be cluttering it up to just add a memory card slot on the side of the DS SP, or something. And I doubt it would add much to the price either. While you are probably right about Japan, the US market is different and mobile music and such isn't as universal. I just hate the idea of Nintendo losing out to Sony just because they won't add these features. Remember DVD and online gaming for the consoles? Nintendo didn't think that was important and look where the gamecube is today... I just hope Nintendo learns from this mistake with the SP before it is too late.
Besides, it isn't as though the SP would be a replacement for the original DS. I can see both existing side by side. Those who care about music and movies would opt for the SP, and everyone else would go for the original model.
Another issue is advertising. I know Nintendo wants to be profitable at all costs, but they really need to shell out some dough to advertise their products more. I've seen several PSP commercials but not one DS commercial.

If you are shallow enough prick to not buy a system based on looks, you need help. Serious, serious help.
Ergonomics is another thing, but to me, it only sounds like whining and always has. THE SP'S L AND R BUTTONS SUCK, THE MICRO IS TOO SMALL, THE DS IS TOO HEAVY. Grow some balls, people. It's a game system, it's more than playable enuogh, and if you can't honestly get over that, also get help.
However, if a DS:SP comes out, I'll be picking one up most definitely. Mostly for collecting purposes, as I am very happy with my DS.
People are so whiny these days. Maybe if Nintendo made chairs. THEN we could sit around and talk about how comfortable they are or not.

Sony just marketing blitzed during Christmas and pleasured MTV and EBGames to push the PSP. I don't know if advertising costs go up during xmas time but I did notice a drop off of DS commercials - actually in favor of GB Micro commercials no less. Maybe for some reason Nintendo wants it this way... clear stock or something? Anyway many people who own gameboys don't buy games for it - it is just not as big a focus. I truly believe that nobody in hell actually buys games for the PSP with them being the cost of console games.

EDIT: And kirby, why do you keep saying that? Counting the DS launch numbers from 2004, the DS is still ahead in North America, even if it's a slim lead..
Post by: KDR_11k on January 14, 2006, 09:40:21 PM
Either way, if they want a PSP let them, freedom is all about choice and feeling the consequences of that choice. And even better, if the DS is outsold by the PSP in the US maybe that'll pull EA and Ubi away from the DS and raise the average quality of the games on that system. I mean, you can argue that Ubi and EA are good and just not my taste on the home consoles but there's no arguing that they are no contribution to the DS's game library.

Japanese sales numbers mean nothing to anyone here...the PSP was out for 3 months of the year less than the DS and still managed to sell over a million more.
And what Mario said about December sales numbers shows that more people want a PSP, it's just not affordable so people waited till the holidays.
I'm a proud DS owner (though I do own a PSP...hehe...) but this just pisses me off. White people are a bunch of buffoons.

Wow.
I think it is funny that GTA LCS is going to be ported to the PS2. I wonder how many Americans bought the PSP just for that game, when in a few months or so, the game will be released for the PS2, probably with tightened graphics and some extra content, boy they're going to be pissed... lol.

They won't pull completely just as they didn't pull Cube support completely but I'd be happy if they at least reduced the number of godawful ports.

Unless they are only using the PSP at home that won't be a big problem. Portables have this huge advantage over home consoles they call portability.

Nintendo had a million-unit launch in America that technically happened in 2004, and then it fizzled.
Sony had a (forced) million-unit launch in America that came during the DS's down time, and then it fizzled.
Then they both picked up again (the DS picked up when good games came out, leading into Christmas, while the PSP got a bigger boost just from Christmas by itself) and they each sold another 2.5 million units.
Post by: Ian Sane on January 16, 2006, 06:26:01 AM
Well NOA did launch the DS with a really weak lineup and then had a bunch of nothing for months and months with a few "beat it in a few hours" games in between. That's not all their fault but in Europe and Japan the DS started out with a much better lineup.
PSP beating the DS in North America isn't a surprise. That's what I expected when the PSP launched. After all it launched with more games then the DS had period at that point and the PSP games were largely better. Though Nintendo has really busted out some great games since then and Sony hasn't done much at all since launch so I'm a little surprised that now the PSP is winning. I figured when they didn't sell out the launch units they were done.
I think the difference in market share for the two markets is based largely on the non-gamer strategy. Nintendo came up with that strategy in response to what was happening in the Japanese market. So it's not that surprising for the strategy to work so well in that market. But the "problem" Nintendo was addressing doesn't exist here so the strategy isn't going to work as well, if at all. The DS is still doing remarkably well for a console that had virtually no worthwhile games for the first 8 months or so of its life. I think it will be fine. But Nintendo better be careful about the non-gamer strategy regarding the Rev. This isn't a plan that is going to work in every market.

QuoteOh come on; the DS is and will be just fine - don't you worry. You're points just aren't valid due to one thing - the GBA. It sold through the roof here. And nearly every single major franchise that sold the GBA has been succesfully translated to the DS. Castlevania. Mario Kart. Advance Wars. Sonic. These are all traditional gamer games and the DS versions are arguably better. And then mix in some new IPs that are made with hardcore gamers in mind. The only big difference is no Pokemon, which was obviously a big reason for the GBA's success. But regardless..

Ian's right. As much as the Revolution intrigues me and as much as I can't wait to play with it, I just don't think that the market (at least the American one) needs to be "revolutionized." That's why the DS isn't working as well here; though Nintendogs sold well, it's not some giant phonomenon like in Japan simply because people here are more interested in the yearly rehashes of Madden.
And that's exactly what Nintendo has been saying - new games such as Nintendogs and Brain Training for nongamers, but traditional (and exceptional) games to keep hold of loyal fanbase. So, with this in mind, I think that in the next year the DS will ride on the momentum it has and do extremely well in North America.

This is just a copy / paste from another forum. I can't verify it since we (normal forumers) never got November software numbers (or December for that matter), but it seems accurate. NPD are being a bitch at the moment, seriously I don't understand why they can't just release the numbers to the public, not to mention they barely cover 50% of the market. Japan > US for sales tracking by a mile. We need more people like Media Create around the world, NPD can bite it.
Big DS sellers in December NPD judging from the new updated totals
Nintendogs All Versions - 600,000
Mario Kart - 430,000
Mario & Luigi 2 - 260,779
Animal Crossing - 254,354 (could have been a hit, but Nintendo screwed up shipments)
Sonic Rush - 100,000

I second this times infinity.. I've said before - to me it's the second best game on the DS after Mario Kart..
And the PSP is SERIOUSLY beating the DS in software sales, even though less of them have been sold? That is utterly amazing - I would have thought (and the Japanese numbers back this up) that with all the multimedia and UMD focus, games would get lost in the equation. And they're not even good games at that! I don't know about this; I need confirmation, since it sounds really fishy..

Sonic Rush seriously is the best sonic since Sonic & Knuckles in the good old days, if you're an old Sonic fan don't even hesitate to pick it up, you'll love it.
Anyways, it seems DS software sales actually ARE higher than the PSP's, taking into account they don't include the bundled copies of Mario Kart and Nintendogs.
GBA 1,213,196
PSP - 1,120,000
DS - 1,070,000
Nintendo was still on top of December, what they really need to start doing is converting those GBA fans towards the DS, it worked in Japan and if it happened here DS would be doubling PSP. Sadly I don't think people in the US are going to realise DS is the new GBA and plays GBA games until Pokemon hits, which could be as late as 2007. Unless there's another surprise hit, like Metroid Prime Hunters, which i'm not too sure about at the moment.

Castlevania beats it for "best DS game" IMO, though.
I'll second this... From what I've played of Sonic thus far, there are way to many deathtraps (bottomless pits) which can be avoided with better level design IMO - especially with all the new stage elements which require you to interact in a certain way or you simply pass right through them to your death. So good, but not stellar, and *by far* much better than any of the 3D variations.

To me, who knows very little about how all this works, it seems this would be highly inaccurate. I would assume that EBGames and such probably sell a higher percentage of Blitz the League and GTA in comparison to SpongeBob's latest adventure - whereas Wal*Mart likely sells much more Nicktoons Unite! and Pokémon Channel than Resident Evil 4 and such.

9. NDS Gentle Brain Exercises - 25,780 (1,023,979)
10. NDS Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop! - 24,550 (870,921)
PSP Monster Hunter appearing from out of nowhere, it wasn't even in the top 10 last week, so it seems the DS shortage is in fact causing lots of people to go out and buy PSP's instead. I think it's quite obvious where the momentum is now, and it's not with DS. Japan was the only place DS was destroying PSP by a massive margin, now its lead is disappearing by the minute and soon it'll be pretty much gone. Way to screw up your one chance Nintendo.

looking at monster hunters sales, it looks like one of the best selling psp games out there. to say nintendo is blowing their "one" chance, is a little premature. theres 7 ds titles in the top 10 compared to one for the psp. its complete ds domination.

PSP 57,686

GBASP 9,982
GBM 6,341
Xbox360 6,107
GC 5,465
GBA 233
Xbox 119
PSP continues to walk all over Nintendo DS, all those games and Nintendo still can't encourage people to buy the system, I think the obvious reason here is because while Nintendo games sell a lot, they dont make people buy systems for them, those 1.7 million Animal Crossing owners probably dont even have a DS. Of course, Iwata would spin the usual "oh but we're sold out", as Kuturagi would say "Not my problem."
Look at the Xbox 360 momentum, i'm (genuinly) quite surprised at the legs it has, it's passed the GameCube once again and is hot on the heels of the Gameboy Micro and SP. Also note TWO Xbox 360 games entered the top 20 this week, Enchant Arms at #13 and Project Gotham Racing 3 at #18.
(I think Xbox 360 has more games in the top 20 than PSP LOL)
By the way, LAST last weeks numbers that Media Create had PSP ahead of DS, these
PSP - 132,757
DS - 91,379
Have been challenged by Famitsu, they release their numbers a week late, but their numebrs for that same week are.
DS - 125,957
PSP - 125,095
Nintendo un-doomed?
It pretty much comes down to how many DS's they can ship at this point, but i'm shocked and outraged at the massive difference between two different sales trackers, Media Create clearly has a massive bias against Nintendo.

Thats an excert from a article at gamespot. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6142782.html
they also state that ds's are being raised in price in japan, becouse of lack of stock. i've never heard of a system that is as old as the ds being in such short supply, and subject to double the retail price becouse of it. thats actually why i wasnt sure if mario was being sarcastic or not. personally, i do find it kind of ridiculous that nintendo cant get enough of a year and a half old system on the shelves. good news that it is selling so well though.

anyway this re-design is more to reel in the fence sitters that have been waiting(such as myself) and also as an early Revolution tie-in promotion. We all know that the DS is going to play atleast a small part into the Rev connectability(is that a word?), so what better way to make it known than to make them look alike?

According to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, the company is confident that the DS will continue to sell well as 2006 unfolds. Speaking to the Japanese press, Iwata said: "Taken as a whole with the current version, we're aiming at total domestic sales of 10,000,000 units not too late in the year."
Basically Nintendo expects DS to sell an average of over 100,000 systems a week in the slow period of the year, which would be absolutely phenomenal, it's on track to outsell PS2 and if Nintendo gives it a good lifespan it could become the highest selling system of all time.

I think they could have waited a little longer for a redesign, too, but it may be a good strategy now considering the PSP is winning in North America. I wonder if the redesign was being pushed by NOA?
Post by: KDR_11k on January 27, 2006, 06:19:10 AM
It means more japanese third party support which means more games. That should translate into more western sales.

I doubt there are any DS owners that specifically went out and bought a GBA JUST to play multiplayer. Anyone who cares probably already has a GBA or is knowledgable enough with gaming to know the GBA is on it's last legs. The sort of people who are totally oblivious to the fact that the GBA is on the way out and are incapable of tracking down a used system years from now don't even KNOW about the multiplayer issue.

If even some lame FF7 knock off can destroy every DS game released, Nintendo doesn't have a chance when the BIG PSP and PS2 games hit. Nintendo has been lucky the past few months, Sony has been asleep, but now the DS has died down massively and PS2 is coming back. This means PSP isn't too far behind, PS2 has the momentum now and Sony are going to no doubt shift that PS2 momentum to the PSP. With Bleach flopping and English Training doing well it's clear nobody new is buying a DS, the userbase should stay exactly how it is for a long time. I also predict the PSP outsold the DS in hardware this week since anyone wanting a DS will wait for the DS Lite, and by the time the DS Lite hits stores that list will be completely PS2 and PSP following current trends, things aren't looking good for Iwata and co. right now.

I'm quite surprised at the success of all these "training" games. It seems like Nintendo tried some titles like this on the Game Boy, but I never saw any of them take off. If I had to admit being biased against a certain type of game, it would be these types...it's like homework in videogame form, blah! Sports games take a close second.
Still, congratulations Nintendo. It probably cost udner $1 million to make each of the Brain Training games and they're all million sellers now.

Post by: Ian Sane on February 02, 2006, 06:24:55 AM
Though Nintendo is going to need a different type of "non-game" to take off to keep the momentum going. Eventually the novelty will wear off. I think that's a problem with non-gamers in general. They're not passionate about gaming so they'll get bored and lose interest far quicker. They more or less have to be constantly distracted. With a hardcore gamer, gaming is their main interest so you don't have to compete with other forms of entertainment as much. But if someone only has a casual interest in games movies, books, music, etc are going to be stiffer competition for their attention.

You need to be more accepting of your fellow gamers and non gamers ian and lose the idea that "gaming" can only be done one way.
Post by: Ian Sane on February 02, 2006, 10:33:12 AM
I'm just basing that assumption on anything else I've been interested in that has had a boom period where non-fans took a casual interest in something. Hell sometimes I've been in that group of non-fans. Typically it doesn't last long. It's a fad. The casuals come in, enjoy themselves for a while, get bored, and leave. Of course non-gamers aren't passionate about gaming. By definition they are people not interested in gaming. That's the group Nintendo is trying to grab.

QuoteSure you can point to lots fads that have puffed up then dissapeared. MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Tamagotchi, Furby, Beanie Babies, Game Gear, Lynx, NES Power Glove, GBA-GCN link cable games, Hoola Hoops, Disco, Bell bottoms, BeeHive hairdo, etc... But there are just as many fads that have instead become common culture. I mean what about Elvis and his music and gyrations? Rock & Roll was essentially non-music back then. It was too different for traditonals to accept. Considered crap, by everyone but teenagers. Yet, now its common culture. What about Pokemon? That certainly was a fad game, back in the day. What about video games in general? Or the Personal Computer? Apple? Ipod? MP3? Nintendo? GameBoy? Anime?

So why are you so glum on Video Games aren't video games as we've known them? I think you're being just a bit to judgemental.
QuoteBy definition, really? Or do they just like different games? Rather like how there are "Gamers" and then there are "Nintendo gamers". Both are very passionate. I don't see why there can't be a third group who likes video games that are not traditional and become very passionate. No reason why each has to be mutually exclusive. I mean after all if you are a "Gamer" you can also be a "Nintendo gamer" and vice versa. So i'm sure there are plenty of "gamers" who will really be passionate about so called "non-games". And I'm sure there will be "non-gamers" that discover "gaming". So I really don't think its necessary to be quite so dismissive, its win win either way.
Of course non-gamers aren't passionate about gaming. By definition they are people not interested in gaming. That's the group Nintendo is trying to grab.

You are basing your assumption on that fact that we're too stupid to realize you're just trying to cover the fact that you were dead wrong about Nintendo's strategy.
Post by: Ian Sane on February 02, 2006, 01:09:48 PM
I see a lot of simularities between Nitnendo's situation and that example. Gaming is largely a cult interest and like the WWF Nintendo is trying to attract the mainstream audience with games that are different then the traditional design.
And I'm not wrong about Nintendo's strategy until it proves to be successful in North America. We still have to see if Brain Training is a big hit over here. We still have to see if this strategy is going to work on the Rev, which unlike the DS can't ride on the momentum of a market dominating predecessor. I was wrong about the DS getting creamed by the PSP but that's not the same thing.

And, Brandogg, in fact, since they moved to USA, the ratings were dipping and after the Homecoming they were dangerously low. That's why you see the McMahons more and more (another thing I dislike). The past month the ratings increased because of Edge as the new champion, their "live sex scene", the main event TLC with Flair, and because it's fresh after Cena's reign.
So how the hell does this relate to games again? Hmm.. Oh right. OK, so as I was saying, fans go away if the product is bad. I think that if Nintendo can keep its consistent quality, the nongamers who have been attracted will stay. I also think that the nongamers will try out "gamer games" and they might be pulled in to enjoy traditional games. They bought a DS with Nintendogs or Brain Training or whatever. Now they have an expensive system with only one or two games. So they would be inclined to try out some of the other offerings, and they could get hooked. I know my dad (who plays rarely since the NES era) started off with the minigames in SM64DS, and he tried Kirby and loved it. He plays some of my traditional games quite a bit these days, and it's all thanks to the DS.

DS is just having it's moment, and when the DS Lite hits everyone will be pissed and never buy a Nintendo product again, that is if they haven't already forgotten about the DS by then, which means the Revolution is pretty much done for before it's even been released.
Post by: Ian Sane on February 03, 2006, 06:44:41 AM
I doubt the ratings are as good as they were in 1998 and ratings aren't a measure of success in wrestling. PPV buyrates and house show attendence are and those have been down for years.
"Also, when the fans went away from wrestling, you're right that it was partly because of the novelty wearing off, but in many cases it's because the product itself worsened."
The quality does play a part so it's not a perfect example. Hell I love wrestling and I'm not watching any current wrestling shows right now. I'm getting my fix entirely from catching up on old stuff I missed the first time around. One thing that I hate about the WWE is the lack of wrestling, yet that is exactly what brought the mainstream fans in in the first place. They brought non-fans in with sports entertainment and that's pretty much all that they're doing now. If you're a non-fan that started watching in 1998 odds are the WWE is still doing the same sort of stuff that got you interested back then. Only now it's stale and it's boring and you've found something else to do.
I really see gaming in the same light. Gaming is a successful industry but it's still very cult. Like being a wrestling fan, being a gamer carries somewhat of stigma to it and some people just form a negative opinion about you because of it. It's very popular but it's never really accepted by the mainstream and I don't think that will permanently change. Typically if your plan to attract the mainstream involves changing the product to get them interested you're not going to be able to sustain that interest because the basic fundamentals of the interest isn't what's attracting them but rather an alteration. If you have to change gaming to get people to game then you're really not actually getting them to game per say. Though it does depend on how drastic of a change it is and exactly what is being downplayed or removed to grab the non-fans. I think the key to Nintendo permanently attracting the non-gamers is if those that buy Brain Training are also buying and loving Mario Kart, Castlevania, and Advance Wars. They have to enjoy the games made for gamers as well.

the ratings for WWE are under half of what they were in 1997-98. i actually despise WWE at the moment. Crappy storylines and bad wrestling are destroying the product. they need to give their wrestlers more freedom on the mike and in the ring. TNA(on spike tv) is putting out a far superior product at the moment(at least in my opinion). The storylines are a little lacking, but thats due to the fact that they only have an hour of television time a week. supposedly they might me moving to thursdays and getting some more time which should help them out.

I'm getting my fix entirely from catching up on old stuff I missed the first time around. One thing that I hate about the WWE is the lack of wrestling, yet that is exactly what brought the mainstream fans in in the first place. They brought non-fans in with sports entertainment and that's pretty much all that they're doing now. If you're a non-fan that started watching in 1998 odds are the WWE is still doing the same sort of stuff that got you interested back then. Only now it's stale and it's boring and you've found something else to do.
I really see gaming in the same light. Gaming is a successful industry but it's still very cult. Like being a wrestling fan, being a gamer carries somewhat of stigma to it and some people just form a negative opinion about you because of it. It's very popular but it's never really accepted by the mainstream and I don't think that will permanently change. Typically if your plan to attract the mainstream involves changing the product to get them interested you're not going to be able to sustain that interest because the basic fundamentals of the interest isn't what's attracting them but rather an alteration. If you have to change gaming to get people to game then you're really not actually getting them to game per say. Though it does depend on how drastic of a change it is and exactly what is being downplayed or removed to grab the non-fans. I think the key to Nintendo permanently attracting the non-gamers is if those that buy Brain Training are also buying and loving Mario Kart, Castlevania, and Advance Wars. They have to enjoy the games made for gamers as well.
I know this is off topic, but Ian you should check ou NWA:TNA wrestling. If you want to see real wrestling its the only game in town. WWE is just trash right now.

But I don't watch TNA either these days.. And it's because they haven't become the promotion I wanted them to. Jeff Jarrett is a big reason for this; he's holding the whole roster back by wanting to protect himself while he isn't even that good. And another thing is that they aren't promoting the X-Division. It's far and away better than the heavyweight division, and I really like it, but TNA just doesn't seem to realise that and they don't give it the time it deserves..

The GBA / GBM are getting caught up to by GameCube, which has been dead for almost two years, yet the PS2 is still going strong
We all knew it was only a matter of time before the GBA just ran out of gas, it just lacks the qualuities needed to be a success

This is a startling example of the lifecycles of Sony systems vs Nintendo systems, and it's only a matter of time before DS dies down and PSP catches up. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
Thank god, I mean what was nintendo thinking, two screens, don't they realize people just want the shinier graphics.

DS is just having it's moment, and when the DS Lite hits everyone will be pissed and never buy a Nintendo product again, that is if they haven't already forgotten about the DS by then, which means the Revolution is pretty much done for before it's even been released.
Well duh, just look at the horrible micro sales, nintendo tried to milk their systems too much and its going to bite them with the DS lite.

Supposedly TNA is making a console game, but their roster changes every 2 weeks, so it's gonna be tough.
the ratings didnt hit as high as i thought, but they've hit over 6 many times(a quick google search shows they hit over 8 a few times). what do you mean about the roster changes? TNA(total non-stop action) has a fairly good and stable roster...they just dont have enough time on tv to show them all.
as for a wwe game for the ds, i'm actually suprised there isnt one yet.

The fact Sony are offering these bundles so soon after lauch here may mean it aint selling all that well.
In Kmart and Target the shelves are full with PSP movies and only a few games.
For comparison the DS with Nintendogs or Mario Cart is selling for between 175-190 AUD.

"I know this is off topic, but Ian you should check ou NWA:TNA wrestling. If you want to see real wrestling its the only game in town."
I've checked it out and I don't really like it. I hate the six-sided ring, I hate the studio audience atmosphere (smarky crowds with stupid chants piss me off), and I hate the emphasis on Jeff Jarrett. TNA claims to be an alternative but, like WCW was at it's worse, deep down it's WWE lite. There's still tons of run-ins and weak swerves and non-clean finishes and the general sports entertainment bullsh!t that's made me bored of WWE. The WWE's big weaknesses are that they force everyone to wrestle the same "WWE style", they rely on stale sports entertainment stuff like non-clean finishes and evil owners, they have too much non-wrestling content, and they have no idea how to make interesting storylines anymore. A true alternative to the WWE would exploit these weaknesses by doing what the WWE has forgotten how to do and by eliminating the stale rehashed ideas that have gotten boring. TNA's X-division is the only thing I feel really seperates them from WWE and even that needs a lot of work. It's hard to get into because most of the X-division guys have bland personalities and, while being good at flippy-floppy stuff, don't grasp enough psychology to make their matches really memorable. Right now YouTube provides my wrestling fix as I've found a lot of cool matches I've never seen on there.
Anyhoo getting back to the DS, it's not a one-time purchase. The system is a one-time purchase but Nintendo doesn't benefit much (if at all) from people just buying the system. The real money comes from games and that like a comic book or a TV show is a periodical purchase. If Nintendo sells a DS to a non-gamer and a copy of Brain Training and then nothing else they haven't really grabbed that person. It's important that the userbase of a system buys games on a regular basis. You want them to be gamers in that gaming is a hobby and they buy at least one game a year.

Wrong. Other releases like English training will sell to these people. Very usefull for the Japanese when they travel, I hope they make other languages available. Plus:
- If not selling the console at a loss even one or 2 softwares gives them profit
- It allows retailers to shift units off the shelf
- It assists in invreasing the nuber of units sold at a faster rate to allow for the development cost to be recovered quicker, in turn allowing for new models (ie DS Lite) to be released.
- If people buy things like English training which the use for travel then they will probably buy at least one game to play especially if they travel by plane.
- If they stop using the DS for non games this will get handed down to other family members who may use it for gaming.

Holy crap, PSP > GBA, Sonys takeover of the handheld market has officially STARTED. DS is pretty much out of the picture now too, and Xbox has overtaken GC again and killed any momentum Nintendo hoped to carry. I think the US is starting to be the country with the worst taste in games.
Xbox 360 is also starting to gain some massive ground, will Revolution ever be able to catch up to the massive lead it's going to obtain? 250k in January is amazing, Jan is the slowest month of the year, so it's going to sell at least another 250k every month.
Things aren't looking good. The scariest thing is how much Nintendo America dropped the ball with DS.

The GBA is leeching sales. Lower the DS price a bit, release the Lite at a lower price, and end the GBA. Sales will go UP.

Nothing really impressive and not a huge spread between the systems any which way.
PS2 is still doing amazingly well. I wanna know who is buying all these PS2s, PSP is also doing decent
Microsoft is either got tough times ahead for the 360 or are still the victims of shortages, I guess well know more come spring.
DS is doing less than I expected, hopefully Metroid Hunters will have a good marketing push, GBA just keeps raking in the dough, can't see why Nintendo would discontinue it. I bet productions costs are low enough on it now that they could sell it for $50 and still make a profit.

The reason the DS isn't outselling the PSP is because people are buying so many GBAs. The GBA is a dead system, the better it does the harder it becomes for the DS to dominate in North America.
Post by: couchmonkey on February 13, 2006, 05:24:01 AM
I don't think Nintendo should kill the GBA but a lower price point for the DS might be a good idea, and big marketing pushes for Final Fantasy III, New Super Mario Bros. and Metroid Prime Hunters are a must. I think those games, plus the new Lite version could easily put the DS in the dominant position in North America, but Nintendo needs to really commit to it.

-> I don't get it. I really don't. Nearly every single major franchise that sold the GBA to so many people in North America has been successfully translated to the DS, and in some cases with even better results. Castlevania. Advance Wars. Sonic. Kirby. Mario Kart (not a port). Mario & Luigi. Wario Ware. All of these have arguably better versions on the DS, and they were integral to the success of the GBA. Combine these with some awesome new IPs or new handheld iterations, and the DS's library is nothing if not healthy. The only two big franchises left are Pokemon and Metroid (both coming sooner or later).
So why on earth is the DS selling so badly over here? I really thought that their fall lineup would carry them far. But...

That's the problem. The big games for the North American audience are all sequels. Why buy a DS to play Castlevania or Mario Kart when I can play those games on the GBA which is much cheaper? In Japan it's different. Nintendogs and Brain Training have done incredibly well. Those games don't exist on any other system ever so you HAVE to buy a DS for them. System sellers are typically new games with new experiences. "Hey come buy all the games you bought last time" doesn't sell systems. It sure as hell didn't sell Gamecubes.
In North America Nintendo needs something unique to really grab people. So far I've noticed with the DS that the "traditional games" are all sequels and franchise stuff while the "non-games" are new. Nintendo has been of the idea that their franchises are everything so they probably think that franchises and sequels are good enough to attract the traditional group. But that's a flawed plan. It requires the non-gamer strategy to really take off. In Japan it has but in North America it hasn't really yet. After all the whole plan was in response to the market in Japan so it makes sense why it would work well there but not here. Here the "people getting bored of games" arguement doesn't make sense. It's quite the opposite here. So Nintendo has a problem where their new content, the games that are supposed to be the system sellers, are all non-games so if non-games don't take off in North America they've got nothing but a bunch of sequels which will make it harder to find a system seller.
The GBA doesn't help. After all if the DS isn't providing that much different for traditional gamers then the GBA itself having the GBA in stores is going to give people even more of an excuse to buy the old system.
It's not a really drastic situation but it's something Nintendo has to keep in mind. Traditional gamers are not going to be content to just play the same old stuff over again.

On the DS the touchscreen is everything. Without it the DS is just a souped up GBA with hardware that is massively inferior to the PSP. In Japan the touchscreen seems to be well received but in North America Nintendogs is the only really touchscreen-heavy game that is selling really well. That's a problem. There needs to be big touchscreen hits in North America to make the DS stand out.

You know Ian, for someone who chattered incessantly about Nintendo needing to embrace Online gameplay, you sure are quick to dismiss its addition.
Edit: On a side note, I really hate the NPD numbers. By the end of this year they will only be receiving less than half of all returns from game sellers. It would be pitiful to rely on their numbers as any sort of market measure.

It's a rhetorical question. I don't mean "I" literally. Yeah I bought the DS for those games but I'm a hardcore game nut who is going to buy a Nintendo system the second games I'm interested in are released. The average person doesn't buy a new system to play the same stuff they've played before. The really big videogame hits that sell systems by the truckloads are always something new and difference (or perceived as such). If Nintendo really wants to kick the PSP's ass they need a game that has that some sort of oomph that Pokemon had.
We're talking about people who still buy GBAs despite the fact that very few new games are still being made for it and that a new system with new games has come out that can play GBA games. We're talking about the general public here who is largely ignorant. They need something more than sequels to popular GBA games. For most the GBA is probably still "good enough" so Nintendo needs to provide more incentive to switch over.

I understand your point, but these (big name sequels) are the the games that sell in large numbers. Granted, a single huge sequel generally isn't going to be a system seller for most people, but if you get enough of them it becomes "well damn, now I have no choice but to buy this system in order to play all these awesome games".

Post by: Ian Sane on February 14, 2006, 10:32:56 AM
How content are they to buy a new system though? One issue that has been brought up is that the X360 and PS3 have no reason to exist because they just offer more of the same. Well if most of its big games are just fancy GBA games the DS has no reason to exist. The stylus is what justifies the DS. Lord knows we didn't need a replacement for the GBA so soon. It didn't even last five years. So without new content what's the DS for? We didn't need a new portable to have sequels to GBA games. Without more big innovative games of high quality and mass appeal the DS looks more like what many suspected it was, a stop-gap to combat the PSP before the "real" next Gameboy arrives. There certainly wasn't any demand for the DS prior to its debut which may play a part in sales.
Someone is probably going to mention that the "reason to exist factor" is why the Rev makes so much sense and that it makes no sense for me to be critical of it. I think Nintendo's idea of innovating is good, I just don't like the execution. I don't like how they feel they have to totally reinvent the controller to innovate or the whole blue ocean strategy to grab non-gamers. But let's not go off topic. Just a pre-emptive defense.

Most of the DS's big games couldn't have been done on the GBA. Nintendogs and a bunch of other games needed the touchscreen. And the mike. And the 3d graphics. Mario Kart needed 3d graphics and online capabilities. Mario and Luigi needed 2 screens. Yeah, some games are just souped-up versions of games from the previous generation... but then, that happens with every system. In fact, the leap from GBA to DS is much, much larger than any previous Game Boy generational leap.

Yes, yes, we know: you want Nintendo to innovate, you just don't want them to do anything even remotley different.

The latest sales numbers has the DS leading the PSP in Europe 3.7 million to 2.4 million so the DS has a healthy lead everywhere but here and It seems that the DS is bulding momentum in the US as of late as well. Those stupid new PSP ads looked like crap Nintendo would have put out. It seem that Nintendo's ads for DS are far better than the crap Sony is churning out for PSP. Its weird the one thing Sony always nailed was there ad campaigns. The PSP ads are almost as bad as the initial 360 ads shown last year.

I know they must sell some just by the simple fact that so many people have PSPs (and they're sure as hell not buying them to play games), but if I had a retail store and was giving those UMDs such prime retail space for as little interest as they seem to generate, I think I'd have to be getting a hell of a deal from Sony to pimp them.

I think a lot of peopel who buy PSP buy it as a do anything device. Everybody wants a good Mp3 player and MP3 players that have SD slots are theoreticaly better than ones with hardrives/flash drives because you can always add more songs to them as you get more cards.
Also I hear a lot of people say that although portabledvd plaeyrs are better for watching movies on than PSP, the fact that you can also stor emusic, photos, browse websites and if you felt like it, play games on it. Tahst why it sells period. Oh and its Playstation and people buy anything Sony splaps Playstations name on.
Post by: KDR_11k on February 16, 2006, 08:08:05 PM
Well yes but the PSP doesn't support SD cards, since it's a Sony device it only takes Sony formats.
BTW, NoE announced that they've sold more than 2 Million copies of Nintendogs Europe-wide.

I bet DS hardware sales are in the 4 digits. GameCube is going to have a new friend this year. Also, looks like Sony has a massive new hit franchise on their hands with Monster Hunter, the next Pokemon? Seems so. Nintendo's tried to replicate Pokemon's success, but failed many times, the incredible popularity of Monster Hunter must be burning them.

Well.... where on earth did this DS hardware boost come from? Sales are up x5 over last week, and it's right before the DS Lite launch, are consumers so angry at the Lites existance they're buying normal DS's in protest? Hardware gains + software decrease means people are now buying less games for their DS, which also supports the protest. Third Parties with upcoming DS games can't be too happy about this.

I don't spend much money so I'm not worried about it, but it's a good thing Nintendo doesn't sell cars or helicopters or something.

"Patients have even been encouraged by some of the hospitals to buy a DS and the Brain Training games so that they may continue their mind stimulation regimen at home. "The game won't cure dementia. But it's a good form of stimulation -- especially for old people living alone," said Dr. Takeshi Kihara, a neuropsychiatrist at the clinic."
So that why old people have been lining up for the DSlite

Could doctors prescribe a DS?
Post by: jasonditz on March 07, 2006, 06:07:54 AM
I've heard of the medical community recommending video games before (popular in the 1980's for doctors to recommend video games as a treatment for children with poor hand-eye coordination), but this goes one step further, and they're renting them out as though they were an actual medical device.
Given the recent shortage though, I wonder how many older gamers are faking early-onset dementia just so they can rent one.

Dammit, I might have to pick up brain training now, not because I'm an old person, but so many of the new DS games trigger the "morbid curiosity" response that it's ridiculous.

Flop of Mana's sales were pretty much destroyed by Nintendo, the shortages all make sense now. All Nintendo care about it having all the top selling Nintendo DS games be by them. This has also let yet ANOTHER PSP game swing into the top 10, a game that nobody would have even looked at if the DS supplies were existant. DS Lite hardware is probably going to have the lowest debut sales since Xbox 360.

Lik-Sang has this to say on the matter:
Quote
We are deeply sorry for the long delay, but we truly don't know when remaining orders will be shipped out next. As per current circumstances, it looks like it could even be April before the entire backlog will be cleared. It all strongly depends on Nintendo's production and shipping schedule. Please understand that Nintendo's exact shipping and production schedule is unknown, so that only the heads of Nintendo knows if they will ship more units tomorrow, next week, or maybe end of March.
As soon as units hit the market, Lik Sang will snatch some of them. We unfortunately don't know yet when that will be, and how many units will make their way through from Japan to our warehouse. Next time we will get stock could be tomorrow, but it could as well be in a week or later. We also don't know if the next time when we will get stock we will receive 10 units, 23 units, or maybe even over 500 units. It is something impossible to predict. This chaotic context is also the reason why the price has been hiked everywhere compared to the initial "suggested" tag. Lik Sang is no exception on this and had to take a 30 US$ raise from suppliers, but judging by other places, it turns out we are still the cheapest offering around the net right now, despite the last minute mark-up. In short: Everybody is affected, in and out of Japan.
All this for sure leaves some of us asking what the heck is wrong right now at Nintendo of Japan. Nintendo DS is currently the hottest selling product of the Kyoto based firm and in fact is probably the fastest selling video game machine on the marketplace if you judge by the sales charts of the last six months. It's in Japan that demand is the strongest. Yet, Nintendo managed to strike the island with a shortage of standard Nintendo DSes from January 5th till February 28th, and by the time the NDS Lite finally comes to the rescue, it is largely under-produced, and brought to the store shelves way too slow. One has to wonder what is going on. This sure doesn't look like the perfect plan, as there is a lot of missed sales at stake. This proves that even a big corporation like Nintendo is just run by human beings and can face problems and crises, same as everybody else does. We truly wish them good luck at facing the crisis!
One thing is sure: until now Lik Sang successfully got each single customer his own console on all past systems releases ever. We won't let you down. Please understand and hang in there with us, the storm will calm down and in the end it will be all good.
Maybe all of Nintendo's factories are tied up with building Revs? I can dream...

More like people who didn't get one after lining up on opening day have a distinct and non-zero possibility of forgoing a purchase now that their interest has waned.

There are some big differences:
1. The demand for the 360 was centered around a holiday
2. 360 demand was centered around theoretical software that by and large still hasn't materialized, much of which will probably not be exclusive at any rate. DS demand is centered almost exclusively around already available software which is exclusive.

Anyway, I have no idea how well the system has been selling around here, only that the Xbox360 game shelves (which are right next to the DS at my store) have been near full ever sense the start of the new year, unlike the DS ones which are pretty barren with a poor selection on account of it (I have never seen Advance Wars DS there, but suspect that they never got it... the bastards).

The game will test your ability to navigate crowds, pick locks on doors to gain back entry to the stores, and money management as you attempt to outbid but not overpay against the agents from Play-Asia who are likewise trying to get ahold of the units.
If you haven't gotten your DS Lites and escaped out the back door before the store opens, it's game over as the crowd tears you limb from limb with your prized box of DS Lites, or you have to go through an escape sequence where you make a mad dash for the subway as you keep ahead of the angry crowd with your cargo.

Doing so would artificially inflate revenues, so unless they disclose that they're doing it, it's probably a violation of SEC regulations. That's actually not too far off what Enron was doing.

It'd be much easier to hide it for Sony, though. I'm sure their books are filled with transactions which are difficult to trace.
All they'd need to do is donate a couple mil to a "charity" which would then make that money disappear.
It sounds far-fetched, but the reality is that it would definitely explain why software sells so poorly on the PSP yet they seem to have millions upon millions of them sold. The DS has several million sellers so software is not an issue there, but I don't know if the PSP has ever made those numbers.
Anyone have links or sources on the subject?

Well I can see the motive in doing it, but why stop at systems? I'm sure buying games (bigger sales) would create the illusion of smaller risks to developpers.

I have no desire to ever get a PSP for any reason, but I would like to replace my Ipod with a new Walkman mp3 player mostly because they use those memory cards that can be upgraded where as once Ipod is full the only way to upgrade is buy a bigger Ipod. And I already bought 2 I dont need to buy anymore.

Don't worry, you can call his name as long as you don't go through the entire summoning process:
THE FIFTY NAMES OF MARDUK
1.The First Name is MARDUK.
The Lord of Lords, Master of Magicians. His name should not be called
except when no other will do, and it is the most terrible
responsibility to do so. The word of his calling is DUGGA.
This, the first name of MARDUK, should only be used when life is
threatened. It is not wise to use it on any other occasion, of
flippantly in way. To do so would be to render the other seals and
names worthless, for MARDUK would abandon you to your fate.
See? Al-Hazred is using the name outside of the invocation and it doesn't seem like Marduk abandoned him (after all, he wrote down the 49 other names as well). On the other hand, he did not say Yog...
p.S.: If the invokation did not work the plane crash on 9/11/2001 was not enough to release Him, after all a whole side of the Pentagon has to be destroyed to break the seal.
(Now THIS is serious geek literature.)

The stories are important, but then there's games like Star Ocean, which had a story I was really getting into and a battle system that made the game virtually unplayable. I think I'd pay somebody $20 to play through the damned thing start to finish just so I could watch the story unfold.
I think the Rev might be a great system for those turn based RPGs too... if you think about it, a lot of the complex controls are pointless in the genre, you could probably play a lot of these games just with the one-handed Revmote.
I also think a series like Dragon Quest would do well to switch platforms. I know it sells insanely well in Japan, but in the US it seems to get buried under a sea of games with bigger budgets. DQ8 would've been the centerpiece RPG on the Cube, while on the PS2 it was just a way for people to get the FF12 preview.

I didn't play either but I did have a friend who used the entire playing of Xenosaga 2 as a screensaver. Thus, I saw it frequently and it always seemed like very small bits of gameplay through very long cutscenes.

The dropping of UMD support by major movie studios further fuels the theory that Sony is buying back its own PSP units in an attempt to attract more developers.
It's clearly not working, as people wind up looking at the sales numbers of games and movies and those are terrible.
Post by: KDR_11k on March 31, 2006, 10:13:32 AM
Not necessarily. UMD movies were a stupid idea in first place. Even if I had a PSP I wouldn't buy any of them. The PSP can be used as a media playback device so you can theoretically use one without any UMDs, others will have one with only one game and no movies, etc.
Post by: Smash_Brother on March 31, 2006, 10:35:20 AM
I'd expect that SOMEONE would be buying PSP movies if they only trail the DS by 3.5 mil units sold, but judging by what the studios are doing, my theory still stands.

iTunes finished dominating music and they've moved on to TV shows. The complete seasons of shows not only tend to be cheaper, but you can get them FAR in advance of when you can get them on DVD, in most cases, you can buy the episode the very day after it airs.
Once the movie studios realize this trend, they'll start releasing movies on the service as well and it'll be all downhill from there.

At least with DVD or anything else, you will always have access to whatever it is... assuming of course that whatever you need to play it on still works.
Hate to break it to you guys, but you've both missed the point here.
iTunes encodes every song so that it can be shared with 5 users and burned to a CD a limited number of times. After that, it can no longer be burned or shared. The media is encoded to contain the license under which it is supposed to be used.
DVDs are nothing more than data burned to a disc. Shipping millions of copies of the same bit of data inside unique boxes is highly inefficient.
DVD burners are becoming ever more common. My parents even own a DVDR connected to digital cable: they "rent" movies from comcast and record them to DVDs as they come off the TV, and they're not particularly tech-savvy people.
The point is, the online digital media distribution system is already in place for users to download the data from DVDs, special features, menus and all, and burn them to their own DVDs. I've seen burned DVD rips: they're gorgeous, as pristine as they came off the original DVD.
Most people I know, if they can't find a song on iTunes, will simply download it off Limewire or any of the other illegal methods of media theft. Movies will be no exception. I already have friends which have a "download first" rule for movies because movies in general have been so damn bad as of late that they don't want to walk out of a theater feeling fleeced any more.
Soon, movies will be like this too: even the moderately tech-savvy will be able to find them online, and as bandwidth gradually increases, the time it takes to download them diminishes, making it more and more of a possibility.
Selling DVDs from store shelves is a problem because, often, you'll wind up with excess copies of a movie which go to the bargain bin and never sell, eventually being thrown out or sold for $5, well below the price needed to cover the investment.
Imagine that you could guarantee that every copy of your movie or CD would sell. That's essentially what online media distribution is: the utmost efficient method of media distribution, both in terms of cost AND speed. As an example, Amazon will be shipping Scrubs season 3 in May. iTunes already has season 5 available for download. Movies will be up and available for the home user the day after they leave theatres, no more waiting 6 months for a movie you like to come out on DVD.
This is the future of media distribution: you download it, burn it to make your own "hard copy" and that's all there is to it.
Blu-ray and HD-DVD are fighting over the PT boats while the battleship is already pulling out of the port. Either studios can jump on board the digital distribution bandwagon or they can go down with the retail distribution ship in a tremendous display of stubbornness and idiocy.
Post by: decoyman on April 01, 2006, 04:31:43 PM
However, I think it'll be a long time before digital downloads becomes the most popular way to get a hold of your music, tv and movies. As has been said, people like having stuff that they can hold in their hands, look at, read (liner notes, etc.). Perhaps I feel this way because I'm a graphic designer, and tend to really appreciate the "whole package" you get when you buy a CD/DVD/etc. Heck, I bought a spare case from Nintendo.com for my Metroid Prime Hunters demo and printed out box art for it because it didn't feel right without a... well, a "home."
I think there's a parallel between newspapers and Internet news sites and this issue. People have been predicting that newspapers are going the way of the dodo - I mean, how could something that you have to pay for beat something that's FREE... but still, newspapers are all over the place, and will be for the foreseeable future. And again, it's because people like to have something tangible to hang on to, take with them when they go somewhere, etc.

Canada has proven in many ways that it understands the intrinsic principles which ensure that the country and its people live in balance, and with the foresight to understand that, when you sack your own education budget, there's nowhere for the country to go but into the toilet.
Shame I cannot say the same of the US. In the end, we're Canada's jockstrap (and we all know what that makes Florida...).

You can get satelite internet anywhere and dsl is over the phone lines so if you have dial up you can get dsl. try contacting yahoo sbc or one of the national providers dont ask aol or any of the stupid local phone companies cuz they dont usualy know crap about anything. theres also wireless cable thatc an also provide high speed internet so unless you live deep in the woods up in the mountains where theres not even phone lines and radio signals you can get dsl or cable internet some way some how. Sure you might have to pay somewhere close to 34 dollars a month for it but its more than worth it to get rid of dial up, not just due to speed but reliablity and its always on so you dont have to worry about missing phone calls.
I have friends who live down in the snake river canyon who cant get cell service or local radio and who are out of city limits and no cable whoc an still get dsl.
Post by: nitsu niflheim on April 04, 2006, 07:40:36 PM
I still think that the majority of America is not on high speed. It is mainly in the most populated area's and then an over flow or whatever into surrounding areas. There are still a lot of people that don't have access yet. And the costs are also taken into account. Just because you have the service available, doesn't mean you can afford it. the costs have come down, but some people just can't afford even 30.00 a month or even a little less.
And I do not live in a small isolated town. I may live in the woods, but I am freaking 5 miles away from everything I need to get too, stores hospitals, schools.

Not necessary, You would have to live pretty near the tower in order to get dsl, otherwise the further you are the slower it is. Despite having a phone line does not necessary gurrantee you can get dsl, you'll still need a provider and in most areas that may not be for quite sometime.
It took several years before my area could have dsl ( Which I have, 5mb connection )

Not only is it "available" in the majority of the US, it has already been gotten by the majority of the US.

You could probably get ISDN, or IDSL. May be cost prohibitive though, you might want to call your phone company and find out. ISDN's range is just over 3 miles.
Sattelite internet sucks for a ton of reasons - cost, latency (ping times) and upload, since you still use dialup for your upstream.

That's no longer true actually. Two way satellite internet access has been available for a few years now.

Repeaters can be placed on the line, but for some reason US companies have been resistant to the idea, while in Europe its supposedly common place (never been there, only what I heard).
Alot of places are now getting Internet access through electric lines. Not as fast as cable or DSL, but faster than dialup. And someday soon WiMax will be popping up all over the place. Its only a matter of a few years before anyone who wants fast internet will get it.

Interestingly Rumble Roses doesn't sell at all in the west. You can pick the PS2 version up for a tenner or so 'round here, the only game on the shelves that's even cheaper is Second Sight at 5 Euros.

Neat, so it's basically just like the PS2 versions only without all the FMV?
I've got two questions now:
1) Did they keep the penis monster from the first game?
2) Will there be a US release?

Nintendo whooped Sony's ass by nearly a 6:1 ratio
Sadly if you compare the Gamecube weekly to PS2's, Sony whooped Nintendo's ass 22:1
Although 1492 (Gamecube sales) was the year Colombus "discovered" America...maybe America will discover the Gamcube this week. What the Hell am I talking about?

I was referring to the monster at the end of the scene where the cyborgs or whatever they are (the big guy and the little girl that uses magic) escape from that base (it's been a LONG time since I played it). The last monster has a giant penis-shaped protrusion coming out of his groin that's almost the size of his entire upper body. It's not apparent from the view during the battle (from the angle you can't tell if it's a protrusion of just his torso), but when he dies he keels over and you get a really good view of it umm... flopping.
Seems like without the FMV the games would be much shorter, but I guess that's why they're giving you both games. I'm considerably less interested in the FMV for the sequels since they changed KOS-MOS's appearance so much from the original game.

Japan seems to only go for one system as the market leader, with everything else significantly behind. DS has started to pull away now and is the clear handheld market leader. It's going to be interesting to see how PS3 and Revolution can co-exist.

Sneaking? I ran around and made the biggest pile of dead guards possible.
You can play the game however you want, which includes coming up behind a guard and choking him to death, which is eerily satisfying in a way that it shouldn't be...

You can actually circle them until you're behind them, then choke them, or for a surefire method, punch them down, and stand behind them as they're getting up.

The reason the japanese market is important is because unlike the US videogaming has been in decline for a while now. And Nintendo is primarily a Japan based company. I'm sure if they fail in Japan they could fail in the US and Europe.
And the other reason sales of the DS is important is because the DS symbolizes a major Nintendo strategy plan and that is that you get a bigger audience when you offer new and unique games that appeal to everybody. The DS is a phenomenon thanks to this and could do great wonders with the Revolution if done right.

Hey, people call the Brain Training games gimmick games without hesitation. As we can see from these charts Brain Training is not a one-time gimmick for three-time pick-up-and-don't-play gamers, unlike FFXII which was a one-month gimmick never to be heard from again from those non-lotsoftime-gamers. Everyone who was interested in it bought it straight away, it's a dying fad, and the mainstream gamers ignore it.

PSP keeps destroying the DS without even any games, GBA continues to dominate the handheld market for f*ck knows why. GCN is being outsold by a dead system as PS2 cleans up and Xbox 360 builds on its solid next gen lead. The game market in general is looking very grim in the US at the moment. Perhaps they need a Revolution.

Post by: Ian Sane on April 18, 2006, 08:19:05 AM
I agree completely. This is the very reason why so many thought the "third pillar" concept was flawed. One of Nintendo's handhelds was going to be overshadowed by the other. Realistically that happened in Japan it's just that the "right" one sold. What I find really odd is that not only is the PSP selling well despite a lack of games but the GBA doesn't have many new games either. Nintendo is pushing the GBA with the Micro and the new screen for the SP but there's not like a whole whack of GBA games being released. I thought the emphasis on the GBA would blow up in their face but I thought it would result in a lot of unsold GBAs. This is much worse.
One major factor would be that the DS is incredibly successful in Japan because of the non-gamer strategy. Brain Age is huge over there. The plan is working. It's not working in North America, or at least not yet. We'll see how Brain Age sells here.

The people buying GBAs now are the same people buying PS2s now... they're the low end of the market looking for the most bang for the least buck. You can buy a GBA for $70 or whatever and find boxes and boxes of reduced to $10 or less GBA games at most stores.
If that's a market worth exploiting, I see no problem with Nintendo continuing to sell GBAs as long as people are buying them.

Well, you know, why not get a DS then? GBA library + DS library > GBA + GBC
Personally, I think Nintendo's problem at the moment is not making it clear to the casual consumers that the DS can also play GBA games as well.

Another problem is that many games are going to the PSP that should be going to the DS: Katamari, Puzzle Fighter, etc.

It doesn't help that the DS kind of looks like a meager upgrade in comparison to the PSP. Yes the DS has better hardware than the GBA but the jump is not nearly as high as the jump from GBA to PSP. So there's this portable that is technically better but not as much as it could be that has a lot of extra doodads attached and is also not officially a "Gameboy". I could see people interpretting such a system as a stop-gap between the GBA and the next "real Gameboy". It doesn't help that Nintendo has spent so much effort trying to seperate the brands which I've always felt is counter-intuitive. Even on boards like this, where the posters know their sh!t, talk about the next Gameboy comes up as if the DS doesn't really "count".
If Nintendo called it the Gameboy DS then there would be no doubt that it plays GBA games and that it was the real deal.

And the PSP has yet to establish itself as anything more then a poor man's PS2... that is somehow more expensive then a PS2. But you know how it is in this stupid country, brand awareness and style sell better then what's good.

Well, but for the same reason that people bought PSOnes instead of the PS2 when it was relatively new. The system price difference might seem trivial to us, but it's not to them. There's also the question of the lack of GBA multiplayer support.
Post by: IceCold on April 18, 2006, 03:23:45 PM
So why on earth is the DS selling so badly over here? After the launch, I knew Kirby and Meteos wouldn't be enough to boost sales significantly. But I was confident that when autumn and Christmas came, the great new titles would push the DS on top once and for all in a big way. I mean, come on, that lineup from September to December was just brilliant. When this didn't happen, I was shocked, but I waited for Metroid Hunters; great graphics, online, FPS, handheld? Bingo! Or was it? We don't know the actual sales numbers, and NPD is inaccurate as usual, but all signs point to it horribly underperforming.
There are some bright spots though; namely the DS Lite, New Super Mario Bros, and to a lesser extent, Brain Training. If Peach sold so well (relatively), then NSMB should be a hit. But all bets are off now; from what we've seen, anything's possible. I will say, though, that I will give up on this market if Mario doesn't help the DS.

Anyhow, the three things that I see driving DS sales in the US among traditional gamers are all yet to be released (but all forthcoming)
1. Zelda game
2. new Mario game that's an actual platformer
3. Pokemon game that's an actual RPG
Post by: NWR_pap64 on April 18, 2006, 04:22:59 PM
Last I heard, the numbers were really good. The difference is that in the US it's another handheld, in Japan the DS is almost an iPod like phenomenon.
Even then, it's doing MUCH better than the PSP.
So why complain?
And I think 2006 will see the definite retirement of the GBA and Nintendo will focus on the DS greatly.
All the GBA announcements I've heard recently have been from third party companies, nothing from Nintendo.
Post by: IceCold on April 18, 2006, 04:39:02 PM
QuoteWorldwide, yeah.. but we're talking about North America. The PSP outsold it for the first few months of its launch, and since then it's been even. The DS only has a slight lead overall, due to its earlier launch. And that is just ridiculous, especially with how many more quality games the DS has over the PSP..
Even then, it's doing MUCH better than the PSP.
Post by: SixthAngel on April 18, 2006, 05:13:38 PM
Cancelling the GBA doesn't seem to be a problem so much as people in the US just don't seem to care about handheld gaming that much. I have a DS and ended up picking up a bunch of games but the only reason I got it was because I was going to Hong Kong for a few months. I considered gettting a GBA but decided the price difference wasn't great enough. While some people will buy handhelds for the games it seems to me like in North America they are often bought only when needed and remain secondary to regular consoles. Many people are simply not interested in a portable gaming device if they are not away from home to play it. Since portables are considered so secondary to these people they don't care for the newest thing just something cheap to pick up and play. Price point seems to be the primary reason for purchase and I think canceling the line would make a small move to a DS but more people would just not buy at all.
Because of that long argument I also think that big new games on a handheld won't cause big spikes in sales like consoles but instead an existing library is important to sway customers. So I think backwards compatibility is very important to advertise, if it wasn't there I would have a GBA right now.
Post by: capamerica on April 18, 2006, 05:33:44 PM
That sounds like total Sony BS to me. Especially since Sony will Not release sale figures and only releases Shipped figures. While Nintendo releases actual Sale figures. Maybe the PSP and DS are neck and neck in the sense that Sony has shipped as many PSPs as Nintendo has sold DSes.
If the PSP was actually doing as well as the DS do you think we would be seeing all this support for the PSP being dropped? You have developers scaling back PSP support and Movie companies dropping UMD movie support. While in the DS's court we have developers jumping on left and right.
I think Sony is just pulling the wool over your eyes to make you think the PSP is doing better.
Post by: IceCold on April 18, 2006, 06:18:15 PM
QuoteWell, that's not true - the GBA/SP sold through the roof in North America, even when it was new and the price was quite high. Of course, it had Pokemon, which the DS doesn't have yet. Still, the DS has an amazing catalogue of games but for some odd reason it isn't selling as well. Just look at Nintendo's own offerings; for the GBA there was little competition so they didn't have many original games themselves. Contrast this to the DS, where they're putting in an incredible effort to put out quality titles.
as people in the US just don't seem to care about handheld gaming that much.
QuoteOh, I have no doubt that internationally the DS is outselling the PSP by a wide margin. Hell, even France and Spain caught the Nintendogs bug. I am also aware that Sony gave a figure that showed how many PSPs they had shipped worldwide, which is bullshit of course. In comparison, the DS is absolutely handing it to the PSP.
Where are your hearing that the PSP is neck and neck with the DS?
However, as I said before (twice
), I'm talking about the North American market. If you look at the NPDs for the last year, what I said would become apparent. Of course, the NPD numbers are unreliable and inaccurate, as they exclude some stores and extrapolate and goodness knows what else. However, you can get the general feel of the market from them. And since the PSP launched over here, it outsold the DS at first, evening up with it later on. Since then the sales have been around the same for both handhelds, so the DS is in the lead due to its early launch. I thought that, with the rush of wonderful DS games in the last 6+ months, it would pull ahead easily. However, even with all those games, the sales show little improvement.But I guess that in a world where Over the Hedge wins GameCube GOTY, this is not a surprise..

I still think your being fooled, The only reason the PSP did as well as it did for the first couple weeks is because of all they hype Sony made for it. After that they system dropped down drastically, Its not holding its own as it did that first couple weeks. If the PSP was doing well in the US then why doesn't Sony release sale figures and promote the fact that the PSP is doing as well as the DS which is a run away success here in the US too. Why are movies studios dropping UMD support? Why are game developers not creating original content and are only releasing PS2 ports 80% of the time, And why are the game developers scaling back their PSP support? If the PSP was doing so well in the US why don't we have more American developers making games for it?
Nintendo DS sales for 2005:
Japan = 5 million
North America = 4 million
Europe = 3.5 million
Seems like Nintendo is doing pretty well in the US. While on the PSP front all we know is they have "Shipped" 15 million units world wide. Systems being shipped means jack, all we know 10 million units are sitting in warehouses in the middle of nowhere.
I know that where I live the PSP barely sold any. GameStop and EB sold 3 each to people who pre-ordered them. Best Buy sold 1 and Toys R Us and Circuit City didn't sell any for the first 2 weeks, after that I just stopped asking. And watched as Best Buy, Toys R US and Circuit City moved their PSP selection into the same area as all the other console accessories were, Which is away from the PSOne, PS2, Xbox, Xbox360, GameCube, DS and GBA sections. And this morning I saw at Wal-Mart that the PSP section has been moved to a little rack at the end which holds about 4 games on each row. This is a huge down grade from where it was last time I was there where the PSP had a section bigger then the GameCube and DS sections combined.
Maybe the PSP is doing better in your area then the rest of the US? But from what I've seen and heard the PSP is a disaster and isn't any where near selling as well as the DS which is selling very well, infact the DS even sold out here around the time Mario Kart came out.

Also it should suyrprise anyone psp is selling close to DS in NA, PSP is selling as a multi purpose electronic dvice that plays movies, mp3s, stores digital photos and has web browsing capabilities, in the US its a mini PC and thats how it is being sold, screw the games peopel buy it because it has other features, and without all the other jazz DS is still neck in neck, so of cxourse once the good games start rolling in and PSP support starts dropping off people will see it as a fad and start to shift.
fully expect that once psp owners realisize that some stores are dropping umd support and that major releases have slowed down theyw ill start to feel cheated and figure that it is dieng. Once potential new customers see that support is widning down they will hodl of purchase out of fear of gettig burned. PSP is and will continue to be a failure, Sony is shifting its focus to wards promoting the multi media aspects and is trying to salage ymd sales above all else because PSP is the Ipod killer to them and they know that DS cant be touched and therefore are shifting focus. Wait till E3 I bet that sony will talk a lot about how PSP is doing better than people think and will continue to brag about SHIPPEd numbers whiel Nintendo will once again hodl up thier pie chart showing how pathetic everybody else is compared to them.

QuoteNope.. you can look through this thread if you want. Look at all the NPD releases for the last year or so. The PSP was released in March IIRC, and after outselling the DS for a couple of months the sales evened out here. Even through the holiday season, the DS at best had a slight lead. There was one month where Sony decided to withhold their numbers, but that was only one month (September I believe). Again, NPDs are not 100% indicative of the actual figures, but they're not way off either. Enough so that we can actually use them and get a feel for the sales. So, even though the DS library is in every way superior to the PSP one, it is still not a runaway succcess here, which it should be.

If the PSP was doing so well in the US why don't we have more American developers making games for it?
To answer nearly all your other questions: software tie-in ratio. How many games people buy with the system. And to say that the PSP's tie-in ratio is horrendous is an understatement. It all stems from the fact that the PSP takes the focus off gaming. It's also a multimedia player, and games just aren't as important. With all the functions it has, the software sales are bound to be much, much lower. The DS, on the other hand, focuses almost purely on games. It's what Nintendo has always done; make a system for games and nothing else. This has many advantages, not the least of which protecting the tie-in ratio. That's one thing the DS has going for it over the PSP; its software sales are significantly higher than those of the PSP.
So why does this matter? Well, when developers decide to develop for a system, the tie-in ratio is just as important as the userbase. The PSP itself can sell as much as it wants, but if no one buys games for it, then there obviously won't be any support. That's why it has such a weak lineup of games, including ports. Same with UMD sales.. The multimedia people dismiss it because it plays games, and the people involved with games dismiss it because it's multimedia-focused. Quite a situation.
And that's why I'm scared for the next generation of consoles. Microsoft and Sony are just taking too much of their focus away from games. Nintendo is the only one who is focused solely on delivering games to us. But that's a different discussion for a different thread..

EDIT: Actually, GBA sales have gone up a little bit, they should go up more next week with the release of Mother 3. Mother 3 came out yesterday and apparently has sold out of it's 300,000 shipment already.

Nintendo need to step up their game if they want to achieve such a feat, because right now it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Post by: jasonditz on April 20, 2006, 08:38:48 PM
Maybe the stores should do some rationing... put every newborn on a wait list so that when they turn 10 they've got a pre-order. Make every elderly owner specify in his/her will who gets his when he/she dies... give priority to the people who haven't got a DS willed to them by someone likely to die in the next decade. This is a shortage people, we need to keep our wits about us!

They could always turn a blind eye to product quality, and have half their customers rebuy their system. That's called learning from the market leader.

In North America, however, it's much closer. Although the DS should be ahead by a mile, it only has a slim lead. And much of that can be attributed to the fact that it launched quite a bit earlier than the PSP.

Japan numbers... and Lumines is nowhere near a million. About 200k in Japan, don't know about the US, a bit higher I think. GTA is over a million worldwide.

I doubt it, considering we are still seeing GBAs sell at this stage in the game after the GBA SP being on the market for such a long time.

GBA should have been done away with a year ago.
Seeing as how they're the only way you can play GB and Color games, and the GBASP is still the all-around best portable ever, I'll have to disagree.
Post by: nitsu niflheim on April 30, 2006, 07:00:48 AM
lol
The GBA may be the best current way to play old GB & GBC games, the GBA in the US is competing with the DS, not complimenting it.

I think it is the highest for a handheld game, possibly Pokemon could be higher. Wind Waker previously held the record for most pre-orders on a console at 550,000, but then Halo 2 broke that supposedly, but MS didn't release the numbers, i'll assume they were less than 1.3 million. Pokemon DS will probably break it again.

They obviously aren't too concerned about getting DS's to consumers, this mindset will hurt them in the long run because it will affect their bottom line and the developers will have no reason to not think Nintendo are about to do the same thing with thier home consoles, and I could understand if every developer dropped Nintendo right now. It's only the logical thing to do in situations like these where a company just doesn't meet your needs and offer the right type of platform.
In short, Nintendo might as well cancel Wii because it's not going to sell one system, so shipping 0 they can still say "demand can not be met" and pretend things are rosy while Sony continues raking in the real cash with the PSP and PS3. As a longtime Nintendo fan, I just can't support them anymore after this new direction of their systems selling out, and my anticipation for E3 has been put out like a fire brigade attacking a flaming toaster.
BTW the only reason there's more than 1 PSP game in the top 30 there is some weird new bundle or price drop or colour of PSP that was released there last week, I can't remember specifics because the PSP isn't really relevant anymore

Well I suppose theres a limitation on how many DS-Lites they can produce, seeing the still have to stockpile them for there most important market, Australia, and put some aside for the USA as well.

GBA's disappearance is basically what I expected. Mother 3 is like the grand finale, and now Nintendo will let GBA die. I always thought the third pillar concept was a way to back out if the DS concept failed...Nintendo could always fall back on good 'ol Game Boy. Instead, the system is huge so Nintendo is letting the Game Boy die. Was there a single new first-party game for it announced at E3?
Reminds me of the final days of the NES...third parties will keep supporting it for a while, but for Nintendo it's done. Kind of makes my eyes mist up... MEEEEEEEMORIIEEEEEES.....

Of course this is the problem with business. Good times may mean higher costs, and then you enter a balancing act. You've got a hot economy right now, so the cost of opening a new factory (or whatever it would take to satisfy demand in Japan) is going to be really high. I agree Nintendo should probably do more to take advantage of this situation, but it seems like the company has been taken by surprise. I imagine (or at least hope) Nintendo's working on something to fix this problem right now.

A. 360 games cost 20% percent more than PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, and PSP games. Actually most likely more as these systems have flooded the budget price $20-30 market while a budget game on the xbox cost the same as the other consoles. And we know NPD ranks on money.
B. Like it or not, the 360 is selling loads more than the other consoles. People are holding out buying the current consoles to save money for the next one. Usually when a new console launches it typically has an attach rate 2. People on the older consoles are probably saving up to buy a game every couple of months.
C. Lastly, the games on the chart suck. Notably an opinion, but New Super Mario is the only thing I'm interested in at full price. I'll wait for the games to come down or get some of the sweet looking games that will come out during the holiday period. Which incidently sells multiple times April's numbers.

OUCH!!! DS copping it HARD! Nintendo are in trouble now. DS is getting absolutely destroyed by the GBA SP, PS2, and PSP (if all of THOSE are considering dead systems, i'd hate to think of what the DS has become), whereas DS Lite sales were split in HALF. Welp, it's over. The Japanese public have decided that they aren't going to put up with Nintendos bs shipping "problems" (more like tactics, bad ones) anymore. PSP and Xbox 360, it is your turn to shine. At least Nintendo have Europe right? For now at least.
Lower shipment than usual due to the US / Aus DS Lite launches? Probably not, but maybe!

QuoteI said that I would give up on the DS for the North American market if Mario and the DS Lite didn't make an impact. Well, I guess it's not over yet.
New Super Mario Bros. jumps into number-one slot of Best Buy's bestseller list; DS duo leads Xbox 360- and PS2-heavy top 10.
For months, games for the Nintendo DS have topped the bestseller lists in Japan, with brain-training games showing sustained popularity. Now that trend is being repeated across the Pacific. According to online sales figures reported to GameSpot by national retailer Best Buy, the two most popular games for the week of May 14 were both for Nintendo's dual-screen portable. New Super Mario Bros. was the number-one game, followed by Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, which has remained in the top 10 since its release a month ago.
But while the DS ruled the roost at retailers this week, games for Nintendo's other platforms were nowhere to be found in the top 10. The remaining eight slots were split between Sony's current-generation console and Microsoft's next-gen machine. Places three through six were all Xbox 360 titles--The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, The collector's edition of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Madden NFL 06. Behind the quartet was a trio of PlayStation 2 titles--Kingdom Hearts II (seventh), Madden NFL 2006 (eighth), and Genji Dawn of the Samurai (ninth). Finally, bringing up the rear was recurring favorite Call of Duty 2 for the Xbox 360.

The truth of the matter is that ever so often a store moves around some stock of Xboxs and finds, to their amazement, some old GBA hidden behind them.

This makes it by far the best debuting DS game ever, and one of the highest debut for a game in Japan in the last few years, topped only by recent hits such as Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest VIII and Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen.
And on another note(also from the link above) Tetris DS has shipped through 800,000 in the 4 weeks since its release.
Those are BIG, BIG numbers for 1st party DS games. I hope 3rd parties can start seeing some similar success too.

Since the reveal of the new look of the remake on DS, the game has shot to number 1 on Famitsu's Most Wanted chart... of course, FF games are usually number one on that list. FFXIII will probably be in the top 3 in the next two weeks or so.

If you go by this page...
http://game-science.com/news/001343.php
Sony is doing some major BS with there numbers. 4.7M - 3.2M = 1.5M units sitting on the shelfs. Thats almost a 50% more then what they sold. Nintendo at the same point had 6.8M DS/Lunits sold in japan.
Current Number at the moment would be here...

DS/L 8.4M vs PSP 3.4M

If New Super Mario Bros can't sell the DS, what can? Nothing. Sony have the right strategy by not releasing any big guns, ever, so to the public, EVERY PSP game is significant. That way PSP continues to build momentum while DS keeps selling the same. PSP going up, DS staying the same, it's inevitable what's going to happen. Let's just enjoy this moment while it lasts.
There is a major difference between Sony and Nintendo tho. Nintendo can survive and make huge profit just by themselfs, Sony on the other hand requires third parties to stay afloat. If half of Sony's third party's tomorrow stopped making games for the PS2, PSP, and PS3 and went to Microsoft. Nintendo would be Nintendo and keep doing what they always do and laugh all the way to the bank while Sony would be in huge trouble. Third parties make Sony not the other way around unlike Nintendo's. Don't get me wrong thought Nintendo would not mind more third parties but they don't require them to stay alive.
I think the DS sales is japan is all about a supply problem. Considering they were most likely saving up for the US release(which was yesterday because the street date was broken), they probably just can't ship enough to meet demand in japan.

I figure if the sales are low a potential for that may be the percieved lack of newness. New Super Mario Bros, though a fantastic game, if pretty derivative compared to previous 2D Mario platformers. That plus the title "New Super Mario Bros" might give the idea that it's really not that new of a game. People might think it's just some remake of Super Mario Bros or a rehash. It doesn't help that Nintendo releases so many Mario games that the "real" Mario games, like this one, don't stand out. It takes a dedicated fan to differentiate between the real Mario games and the cash-in spinoffs.
Though I'm not worried about the DS in Japan at all. In America I am, but in Japan Nintendo's whole non-gamer plan seems to be working so I think they'll be fine.

Sony is doing some major BS with there numbers. 4.7M - 3.2M = 1.5M units sitting on the shelfs. Thats almost a 50% more then what they sold. Nintendo at the same point had 6.8M DS/Lunits sold in japan.

You're confusing sarcasm with irony.
Sarcasm's entire purpose is negative, to attack, to hurt. The original intent of Mario's posts was to attack the morons who claimed success or doom based on one number. The point is long proven and now people are just doing it without a reason.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not too worried about the PSP selling more than the old school DS. I mean, what is probably happening is people are waiting on buying a DS until the lite comes out.
If the PSP continues selling more than the DS lite when it comes out THEN it is time to start worrying.

Separately, Nintendo said it sold 136,500 of its new DS Lite players in the United States on Sunday and Monday. The game player weighs less than the DS and has a brighter screen. A Nintendo spokesman said DS Lite sales appear to be on pace with those from the launch of the DS, which sold 500,000 units in the first 10 days after its U.S. debut in November 2004.

I suspect MS tried to cover up the Xbox numbers this week because of the GBA defeat, but the numbers got out eventually. Quite a massive leap for the Xbox this week actually, more than DOUBLING up from 8 last week. GBA had better watch out, if Xbox continues growing at the same rate and overtakes GBA we wont hear the end of it from Microsoft!

Nintendo are sponsoring the ratings leading quiz show programme in Australia in peak hour, heaps of brain training adds.
Also seen Brain adds during Peak news time.
The adds go for about 15-20 seconds, are proffesional and NON tiku tiku tiku! .
So DS sales here should improve.

So... *cheers on DS*
How long do you think until New Super Mario Bros catches Animal Crossing? It'll probably need a good holiday buying season but it's gonna sell strong all year for sure. I know it'll break 2 million but then again, by that time AC:WW will be above 3 million, which is just sickeningly large for Japan.

QuoteI think we have some Spanish and French numbers showing the success of the DS with Nintendogs..
Thanks to Aussiedude, those numbers are interesting. So Europe is the only territory that I don't think we have some sort of numbers for now.

QuoteOk, maybe i'm just a happy go lucky Nintendo optimist, but according to vudu's May NPD numbers the DS sold 147,000 units. What's disapointing about moving close to 150,000 units in a month? Sony isn't really doing all that much better, i'd think they'd let their numbers out otherwise....

those are great software numbers. Someone should have told Sony that taking the focus off gaming on the PSP would lead to this - I wonder what the total software sold on the DS vs PSP would be.

QuoteThe disappointing thing is that the PSP is outselling it hardware-wise. Regardless of the fact that the tie-in ratio for the PSP is dismal, it still is disappointing that it's outselling the DS here. I posted this a while back..

QuoteWell, looks like the situation is improving, but I'll wait for the coming months to decide. I just know that the DS should be outselling the PSP and the GBA by a wide margin, and it wasn't. NPDs are not 100% indicative of the actual figures, but they're not way off either. Enough so that we can actually use them and get a feel for the sales. So, even though the DS library is in every way superior to the PSP one, it is still not a runaway succcess here, which it should be. It was confirmed that last month the PSP outsold the DS again in terms of hardware, albeit by a slim margin. This has been happening since last year..
Seriously, I can't fathom it. It's just dumbfounding. Nearly every single major franchise that sold the GBA to so many people in North America has been successfully translated to the DS, and in some cases with even better results. Castlevania. Advance Wars. Sonic. Kirby. Mario Kart (not a port). Mario & Luigi. Wario Ware. All of these have arguably better versions on the DS, and they were integral to the success of the GBA. Combine these with some awesome new IPs or new handheld iterations, and the DS's library is nothing if not healthy. The only two big franchises left are Pokemon and Metroid (both coming sooner or later). And please don't say anything about new "traditional" IPs - when Madden is annually on top of the North American charts, that clearly isn't the case.
So why on earth is the DS selling so badly over here? After the launch, I knew Kirby and Meteos wouldn't be enough to boost sales significantly. But I was confident that when autumn and Christmas came, the great new titles would push the DS on top once and for all in a big way. I mean, come on, that lineup from September to December was just brilliant. When this didn't happen, I was shocked, but I waited for Metroid Hunters; great graphics, online, FPS, handheld? Bingo! Or was it? We don't know the actual sales numbers, and NPD is inaccurate as usual, but all signs point to it horribly underperforming. And worse, it didn't sell much hardware.
There are some bright spots though; namely the DS Lite, New Super Mario Bros, and to a lesser extent, Brain Training. If Peach sold so well (relatively), then NSMB should be a hit. But all bets are off now; from what we've seen, anything's possible. I will say, though, that I will give up on this market if Mario doesn't help the DS.
And yeah, Sony brought that problem on themselves. It's all about the software tie-in ratio. And to say that the PSP's tie-in ratio is horrendous is an understatement. It stems from the fact that the PSP takes the focus off gaming. It's also a multimedia player, and games just aren't as important. With all the functions it has, the software sales are bound to be much, much lower. The DS, on the other hand, focuses almost purely on games. It's what Nintendo has always done; make a system for games and nothing else. This has many advantages, not the least of which protecting the tie-in ratio. That's one thing the DS has going for it over the PSP; its software sales are significantly higher than those of the PSP. And developers notice this too; who cares if the userbase is high when no one buys games?
Yeah, that post was far too long

Nintendo *is* taking the PSP out 2:1 no joke. GBA and DS together sell 300k+ units. So, handheld video consumers know what they want. They want Nintendo stuff. They just still like GBA stuff here in America. And I don't think you should be so quick to want to kill off the GBA. Yes, the Nintendo DS is quite a smart purchase. But still, if Bobby and Billy or Howard and Steve want to do GBA multi-player games, DS won't work. Even still GBA are $50 less expensive. So if they only want to play GBA games, the GBA is still cheaper.
Once they are do come off the GBA, guess what they will buy? It won't be a PSP that's for sure.

There's also a small minority that is buying the PSP because of its other functions such as playing videos through UMDs or Memory sticks, and even for music.
Before the DS Lite, the PSP had the advantage of having a piece of hardware that looked sleek and sexy compared to the clunky boring original DS look. The 'look' also contributed to the PSP's popularity but that advantage is now cancelled out.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 23, 2006, 09:50:36 AM
Original DS sells 4.5 million in Europe
4.5 million Europe (pre DS Lite)
4.6 million (US NPD as of May 06)
8.9 million Japan (Media Create as of June 18th 06)
By the end of June DS sales will be over 19 million worldwide.
and Unconfirmed:
Australia = 227,369 as of June 4 (also pre-DS Lite)

Yeah, Wally World is the best example to look at here and they announced that they were tossing/liquidating all of their UMD movie section recently because the sales were just so damn poor.
Every wal-mart I go to always has the UMD movies packed to the very edge of the shelf. The DS games are clearly experiencing sales because I can see that the shelves need to be restocked in some cases. UMD movies have ALWAYS been packed to the brim, indicating that either the wal-mart clerks take extra care to stock the UMD section or that the UMD movies aren't selling at all.

DS games are next to GBA games, and are experiencing the brisk sales Smash Brother describes. some gone, some games with only one copy left.
Just imagine what DS sales (both games and systems) would be like if it wasn't crammed in the corner at most stores, while PSP is out in the open with alot of retail space.

Dang. According to the VGCharts.org Pokemon Red/Blue/Green sold 10,224,500 in Japan. Now lets say everyone bought all three so individually thats 3,408,166 copies sold in Japan alone per version. That puts it just below Super Mario World and above Final Fantasy VII.
Also after splitting all those up it reveals that Tetris for the GB at 4,221,500 is the best selling game in Japan of all time. If you think that's inflated just consider that Super Mario Land is right under it. That's not what I expected.

Try Costo or Sam's Club or Target. Also, here's a link to it found at Gamestop.

11th July 2006 - In its sleek new form, the Nintendo DS Lite hit stores across Europe on 23rd June, and since then has been snapped up by eager customers, with more than 200,000 units sold in the first 10 days - proving the Nintendo DS Lite is the must have console of the summer!
The successful launch of Nintendo DS Lite, and the huge success of Nintendo’s range of Touch! Generations games, has secured Nintendo’s lead in the handheld market, with total sales of Nintendo DS now over 5 million in Europe.
"Nintendo DS has introduced thousands of new people to gaming and will continue to expand the gaming population due to its ability to appeal to both gamers and non-gamers. During Nintendo DS Lite launch weekend, retailers across Europe said that they had never seen such a vast array of different people buying the product, everyone from business men to young women to grandfathers!" said Laurent Fischer, European Marketing Director, Nintendo of Europe.
Nintendo’s Touch! Generations range, a selection of innovative software designed to appeal to people of all ages and gaming experience, is also a big hit across Europe. Following the recent launch of Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends, total sales of all Nintendogs software has now reached a staggering 3 million in Europe. Animal Crossing: Wild World has seen similar success, selling over 600,000 copies, as well as maintaining its position within the top five software sales in the majority of countries across Europe since it launched at the end of March. There are also over 250,000 people across Europe now training their brains with Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old is Your Brain?
With many more Touch! Generations games launching this year, including the just launched Big Brain Academy, Nintendo DS will continue to be the main driving force behind the expansion of the video game market this year.
The Nintendo DS Lite is available now in black and white priced at around £99.99 (150 Euros). For all the latest information on Touch! Generation titles please visit www.touchgenerations.com.

Apparently DS has "16 million shipped, all versions" while PSP has "17.03 million shipped".

Brain Training shows staying power and moves up a notch. See what happens WHEN you advertise Nintendo!
They are also advertising Big Brain Acadamy, will be interesting if this makes All Format charts as well.

Any bets these are the first DS games to break the 4 million barrier? What PS2 games have reched these milestones? (if any)
It really makes you wonder why devs continue to focus on PSP, especially since PSP is more expensive to develop for. They were quick to drop GCN when it was not selling.

The other thing to consider is that it takes a while to make games. Most PSP games coming out right now probably began development last year and most of the time it makes more sense to finish the game off and release it than to throw away several months of work.
Post by: KDR_11k on July 13, 2006, 07:38:29 AM
No, often games get cancelled weeks before release simply to save the money on distribution and marketing. Sure, they could do a limited unadvertised run but I guess hey don't like that idea.

No way, AC:WW will break 3 million in about 1 month. NSMB will take another 2 months a lease.

They may be, though when they are released, there will be a huge upsurge in DS sales. Lots of people do not buy just one or two games. I see people buying Pokemon with their new DSL along with NSMB, Brain Training 1 & 2, and AC:WW.

Still, put the hardware sales together with the game sales, and it's clear that DS is on the offensive now. The battle has been won, now for the war! I'm a tremendous clownboat.
On the disappointing side, X-men, Over the Hedge and Cars. Blech. Granted, those sales are totalled across all platforms, and there weren't a ton of big releases in June.
Japan sales - I guess PSP's spike is probably due to the new Tekken game. Take note Sony. GCN drops to the triple digits.
Post by: UncleBob on July 14, 2006, 05:33:18 AM
The point is, repeat sales on the DS (usually) still leaves the original DS unit in the food chain. Repeat sales on the PS2, typically do not.

Gamecube has probably 21 million sold through by now. With Gamecube selling faster in all territories, is it possible that the history books can put the 'Cube as the ultimate victor? It seems that possibly by the time Wii comes out, the gap could be closed.
Post by: Kairon on July 15, 2006, 12:46:01 AM
That's assuming that the XBox REALLY is somewhere near the Cube in sales, and assuming that MS hasn't been doing the same number trickery that Sony likes to do.

3 million is most definitely not a huge lead. And XBox is non-existent in Japan. This means that the Cube's big failure should be in Europe, and that's where the XBox makes up for Japan.

However, Gamecube has about 21 million sold. Depending on how many remain in stores (and if any are still being made), that will by the eventual number sold.
If there are a million unsold Gamecubes left or if a million have yet to be made, Gamecube will surpass and win. Yes, it's not a big deal for Nintendo's profits but it is a big deal for our petty fanboy pride.
Post by: Kairon on July 15, 2006, 11:25:24 AM
I suspect that if this is true, we shall really need to start viewing Microsoft numbers with the same rampant skepticism that we view Sony numbers.
For example, Microsoft has boasted of a 60% penetration rate of XBox live. But that's for the free silver membership that can access the store and buy downloadable games and make gamer tags. I wonder what the gold membership penetration rate is because these are the only gamers who are opting into actually playing a game ONLINE.

We'll see, as the current 360 sell rate isn't enough to reach that number by the time the Wii rolls around.
If they'd just hurry up and release Halo 3, they'd sell a f*ckload more units.
Prey and others like it are great games and all, but you can get them on the PC for cheaper and you can have mods and mouse and keyboard. It's going to take the exclusive "killer app" to truly get the 360s off the shelves and that app is, without question, Halo 3.

Meh...
I don't agree with that statement.
I believe Halo does NOT have the selling power it use to. When it first came to the Xbox, it was a very solid multi-player FPS with vehicles and an engine we hadn't yet seen. It was fresh and well-rounded. And most importantly, it was new.
Ever since it's arrival, there have been more and more FPS's than ever before. These other games just flooded the market, so much so, that even when we played Halo 2, it left a stale taste in our mouth. You can see exactly what I mean with the "sand-box" genre that GTA created. Nobody bought GTA: PSP, and for a good reason.
As popular as Halo is, I don't think it'll become the killer app Microsoft intends it to be. Unless it's vastly more innovative and more fun to play, I think Halo owners will be content with the setup they already have (or at least until the 360 is cheaper and has other notable games as well). I could very well be wrong, but I don't think it will have the selling power Halo once did.
And to generalize a bit, I don't think the 360 is doing a very good job selling them to previous xbox owners period. $400 dollars for a system that is a marginal improvement above your old system isn't going to sell you one. I see people sitting on the fence with the mentality "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Post by: Smash_Brother on July 17, 2006, 10:58:42 AM
I know of a few people who are holding out for the release of Halo 3 and swear they'll buy a 360 once Halo hits. It's the same way a lot of people only bought the GC for Metroid Prime.
I don't know how fresh or new Halo 3 will be (probably not very) but the Halo fanbase is a great deal larger than most of us think.

Actually, it's a bit more than the PSP. Yes it didn't sell well on the PSP. But that is partly because it was $50 for a port of GTAIII with the ability to ride motorcycles or something like that. It sold abysmally because of that. When they ported it over to PS2, it was SRP $19.99; much cheaper than $50. Plus, a lot more uninformed people own PS2s and think that LCS is a new game rather than a port. Sales will die quickly on it when word gets around to the uninformed that it is the same game they played in 2001.

Yeah.. it's not going to happen. They won't just "end the series." Any series popular enough to warrant a sequel will continue to be made. Maybe not "Halo 4," but "Halo: The Tale of That Black Captain Guy" or "Halo: Kovenant Kart." Just like Jak and Daxter was supposed to end after Jak and Daxter 3.
Do you think MS would allow that phenomenon to end and them to stop making heaps and heaps of money? That's like ending Pokemon. Even Monkey Island (bless the name) was popular enough to warrant a third and fourth game despite Ron Gilbert's intention to have a trilogy. His vision for the third game was thrown out the window and the series will come out (at increasingly slow intervals
) for a while.

The Halo franchise may not have as much selling power as it use to when Halo 2 came out, but its selling power is still very high if not the highest at this moment.
Sure, there have been many FPS that were released since Halo 2, but NONE of them were able to do what Halo 2 did in terms of sales or hype. So many of these new FPS tried to be the 'Halo-killer' and every single on of them failed and all it did was actually make the Halo franchise even stronger rather than weakening it. The Halo franchise has not weaken itself like GTA has.
I don't know where you're getting that nobody bought GTA:PSP when globally, it has sold around 2.8 million.
The Halo franchise will always be Microsoft's #1 killer app. If people were content with their set up, they wouldn't have bought Halo 2 when its clear that Halo 2 didn't do anything better than Halo 1, but people still bought it in mass. The same thing will happen with Halo 3.
The Halo franchise was never really innovative in the first place besides the focus on driving but that never really was the point. What Halo did was take the existing console FPS genre and improved on it.
There are so many people in the Halo community that will only buy a 360 for Halo 3 and nothing else.
The 360 isn't going to sell itself to the Halo crowd on its own merits, but Halo 3 will be what sells them a 360.

Which is to say it has a third of the selling potential as... say... Nintendogs. Another thing to note is that GTA:LCS did not push many PSP sales out the door. In fact, when it was released alongside MarioKart DS, MK: DS sold more, and the DS itself sold more. And in comparison to what GTA usually does, it can be considered a colossal failure which required Take 2 to port it to the PS2, where it even bombed there this month, selling less than CARS (total) and a month old Platformer for the DS. (NSMB)
I think Ian put it best... (IAN?!). Yes Ian. In his volumes of indecipherable rambling, a few gems to get loose, hardened by the years of angry compression. Anyhoo, he said that the reason GTA on the PSP may not be so enticing as for the console version is because of the buy-in to enjoy what is basically the same game (and technically, it was). Getting a PS2 for GTAIII was necessary because the idea was fresh. The sequels just sold as sequels do. However, crafting a similar experience on a handheld and then charging $300 (PSP and game) to play it was kinda nutty, especiall since you could get a PS2 and ALL of the GTA games, including the one the PSP game is based on, for less than that. So GTA: LCS only sold to the hardest of hardcore GTA fans, which, in America, only amounts to about 1.16 million, a significant amount, but less than 1/7 of what it used to be. Nintendogs sold more than twice as much, and subsequently Mario Kart DS and SM64DS sold more.
But as for people completing the "Halo Triology" by getting a 360 for it, I think two things need to be put up for consideration:
1) How many Xbox 360's have been sold in anticipation of Halo 3 to begin with?
2) how many of those people will be willing to shed out $460 (the price all total) to get Halo 3?
While I have no doubt in my mind that Halo 3 will sell units, I think that it possibly may not sell as much as it used to or move as many Xbox 360's as one might expect.
But anyway, LOL DS sales.

I personally wouldn't consider the online portion of Halo 2 as an advantage considering how broken the damn thing is.
Actually, if you check out the Halo community from the speed runners, tricksters and campaign freaks, you'll notice that a lot of them are not Microsoft fans and are just plain Halo fans. A lot of people are just interested in only Halo similar to how there's a large population that are only interested in Zelda and not specifically the console its on.
Anyways, enough Halo talk. Back to DS sales.

This reminds me of the N64 vs. PSX. The launch went really well for N64, but eventually things reached their usual "one dominant system" state. For a while there, this looked like the closest race Japan has seen, but now DS has taken on that dominant role. PSP isn't doomed, per se, but it's going to be stuck in the same distant second place as N64 and GameCube have been in on the home console market.
It's also going to be interesting to see how worldwide sales go the next couple of months, as they seem to be turning towards DS. If DS can parlay it's Japanese success into worldwide success, I think that would be good news for Wii.

Q. The DS is currently getting all of the buzz and hype, what do you think Sony can do to get people talking more about the PSP?
A. In North America, the PSP has outsold all next-generation handhelds since we launched in March 2005, with more than 4.7 million units sold. In May, according to NPD data, the PSP was the top-selling portable handheld at nearly 160,000 units. We're pleased with the success the PSP has achieved, and the next step is to build on that success with our core gaming audience to reach a wider mass market audience. One key finding in our market research is that many consumers don't understand everything the PSP can do. So starting this summer, we're embarking on a major marketing campaign to educate consumers about the multi-functionality of the PSP beyond gaming. It's a powerful device in a portable package, and this effort will help us continue the momentum that made PSP the No. 1 selling system in its class last year.

They can call the PSP the number one selling system because they've isolated it to a "class" and they when they say "next gen", they don't count the DS because "next gen" is, once again, creative classification.
Remember when McDonalds had "Lobster Roll Sandwiches"? Remember how the ad campaign called it "Honest to goodness lobster"?
Yeah, it was CC. That was likely made from the same stuff as the imitation crab meat.
It's the same BS Sony has pulled for years: twist and mangle the truth so that even the worst situations sound like they're turning out in Sony's favor.
Don't be surprised if they use the PS3's classification as a "computer" to call it "the best selling item of its class!" or some other such hogsh*t.
But it doesn't matter. At some point, they won't be able to lie their way out of a reality when the PS3 flops and Sony is forced to file chapter 11.
Seriously, if BluRay manages to sink the PS3 (and all indications suggest that it will), then Sony has run out of options.
I'd love to see an interviewer ask a Sony rep why Sony had to borrow $700 million to manufacture the PS3. Then, when they put the Sony spin on it, saying that it was a "good market for borrowing", ask why Nintendo didn't borrow money to manufacture the Wii if the market was supposedly so good.
Man, I have a list of questions I'd ask them. I'm glad the DS is doing so insanely well. I don't think I could have dealt with it if Sony's tactics of lies and spin won them the handheld console market.

QuoteWith all due respect to Nintendo, they have chosen a path that vastly differs from ours. The PS3 focuses on cutting edge technology for games and for multimedia; our Cell processor and Blu-Ray drive make the PS3 the most advanced of all the consoles in the upcoming generation. The "Wii", on the other hand, while capable enough to cater to its niche market, lags behind technologically. As you may know, the "Wii" is not capable of rendering High Definition textures, due to its lack of processing power. Some may even call it outdated when comparing it to our PS3. Taking this into mind, our manufacturing costs are sure to be higher than the competition. Since the environment is currently conducive to borrowing, we decided to take a small loan in order to ensure that the PS3 is ready on time. Furthermore, the people who will directly benefit from this loan are our loyal consumers. They will be able to get the PS3 and its second-to-none features for a low price this autumn. Our retail price is, dare I say, a bargain for anyone who buys it, especially considering the fact that some Blu-Ray players retail for more themselves.

Yes, but the follow up question would be: Why didn't you pay for it with all the profits from your handheld system like Nintendo did with theirs?

3 DS titles in the top 10, only one XBOX360 title (Genuine Wireless funpack is a bundle with Kameo, Project Gotham Racing 3 and an extra Wireless Controller). Full price X360 games ($110 - 120 AUD) cant be selling well, Toys are us have already lowered all 360 games to $90 AUD or below.
Another thing Ive noticed is the in-store X360 demo games Pods are nearly always broken. Last week was the first time since they were installed I was actually able to demo a game, Ridge racer, which was very good and the load times although still too long were much shorter than Project Gotham.
The top spot is not surprisingly AFL premiership 2006, which is our football game and it is almost finals time. Yes Nintendo if you want to win with the Wii here release a AFL game and also a cricket game so you win in the UK as well. The Wii is just perfect for cricket. WTF cares about shiit american
football Madden in Australia (well maybe 10 people) we want our AFL and cricket games

But have you really seen any brand new games from third parties that would require an obscene amount of time and money?
Currently, the PSP's bestseller is GTA: LCS. Now compare the sales of this to GTA III, Vice City, or San Andreas on Ps2 or even Xbox. And considering PSP's installed base is very similar to that of those two consoles at the time of those games coming out, you can see that the sales weren't too flattering. At that, had it been such a big success it probably wouldn't have been ported to PS2.
Similarly, some of the only good PSP games include Loco Roco, Valkyrie Profile remake, and Mega Man Powered Up. None of these three take particularly great advantage of PSP's power. Somehow I think all three of these could have been done on DS and would have sold much, much better.
What are we even seeing from the big four Japanese devs on DS? Konami gives us our Castlevania, but other than that I'm not seeing much. Capcom hasn't done much other than Pheonix Wright (which got such a damned small run) and a few ports of Mega Man Battle Network. Namco hasn't done a damn thing other than Pac-Man sparkling innovations and the obiligitory Ridge Racer port. And Sega? They've given us another stale Sonic game and a few cel-shaded minigame collections. Not that these games were necessariyl bad, but all of these devs are supporting PSP much, much more with games that aren't really selling or getting much critical acclaim. Maybe they need to support the fanbase that wants them?

True but we are getting one brand new Castlevania per year of the DS and they are solidly made.
Quote

We are having TWO Phenoix Wright games and as far as Mega Man goes yeah we got the port of a GBA game but we are getting a BRAND NEW EXE series and the ZX title which I am sure both will turn into series. Realize the PSP has NO exclusive Megaman series on it just ports.
Quote
Namco hasn't done a damn thing other than Pac-Man sparkling innovations and the obiligitory Ridge Racer port.
True but we are getting Tales of the Tempest, an exclusive Tales Rpg to the Ds and if I may add one of the best looking Ds games we have out there at the moment next to FFIII. The PSP has had only one tales game already and it was a cheapo Ps2 port.
Quote
And Sega? They've given us another stale Sonic game and a few cel-shaded minigame collections.
Sonic Rush is NOT stale most of the people here on the forums will probably tell you that they rate that game one the best 2d Sonic games made. I had more fun with that game then most present Sonic titles. The last one I enjoyed prior to Sonic Rush trail back to the Genesis days. AND Feel the Magic was something new and different from Sega. I really supported both titles which were almost unapporpriate at times lol. I dont know, for some reason mini games about rubbing a girls legs and helping her take off her clothes seems very non nintendo to me. I clap my hands at Sega for trying something different than another rehashed port.
So all in all, are devs supporting Psp more? Yes! BUT seriously most are just straight ports. Ds is getting all of the new exclusives which brings me to my next point. The Ds is a hard system to port anything to. Most devs have to create ORIGINAL content to actually make something sellable ::GASP GASP::
So all in all would I like to see more attention tossed at the DS? YES! Do I think what they are doing is acceptable? EH Meh. . . . They could do better but I am happy with what they are bringing to the table. It is far better then what they are doing for PSP.

The things you point out are right, this is a paradigm shift underway. I think PSP is going to see the N64 effect even more quickly in its lifetime than did N64 or especially GCN, and fewer and fewer games will be announced for it.
I will also agree that they're not making as much quality stuff on PSP, but I see it as a waste of thier resources when they could be making more stellar DS games for a huge and ever-expanding fanbase.
I think my problem is that they haven't done it fast enough.
Edit: Kairon, I never wrote off a good game that's unusual. It's the PSP-ness that I condemn.
Post by: Smash_Brother on August 05, 2006, 04:35:05 PM
Also, I can't help but believe that the PSP's poor performance is likewise making potential PS3 devs have second thoughts: Sony is pushing both consoles as "multipurpose entertainment devices" instead of game machines, which should make any developer a little leery given that they're trying to make games for the thing.

Er, maybe, but if the PSP is any indicator of what will happen, they'll lose those publishers, too.
Some studios scaled back but most axed UMD support entirely, saying the discs just weren't selling at all and as such they couldn't justify even bothering to make them anymore. Likewise, major retailers are either scaling back or dropping UMD, with Wal-Mart dropping them completely.
I don't see why BluRay will be any different as both BluRay and UMD have just about everything in common: they both only work on a system no one owns, they both have questionable support (and UMD support was actually better), and they're both unnecessary.

Blu-Ray is in even worse shape than Betamax was. At least Beta had better quality than did VHS, but BluRay costs more and has worse quality than HD-DVD. HD-DVD may have less room, but how many yottabytes does one movie need?

Of course, you aren't factoring in the fact that the only bluray player on the market has faulty video decompression algorithms in it and that the first spec sheet had to use mpeg2 video compression whereas starting with discs releasing September and later will use VC1 compression and much MUCH better players will be available such as the Pioneer Elite BD player.
This fight has just started. Bluray has more studios behind it and more hardware companies making the players than hd-dvd. They won't start jumping ship until long after all the bugs have been worked out. This fight will last at least another 2-3 years I think and eventually make both formats obsolete anyways.
The fact, the umd format was fated to fail because it could only be played on a psp, whereas bluray and hd-dvd will be played on game consoles, stand alone players and in computers. Support will not waiver as fast as it did for umd.

Currently, I'd imagine HD-DVD is positioned to be a much more likely successor to DVD. Not only does it have current branding with the "DVD" name, but current players cost half as much as Blu Ray players. Which will a consumer choose when the movies cost the same amount, yet the players are differentiated by $500?
Either way, the format wars will be a dud. There won't be a winner as consumers just switched to DVD's a couple of years ago. VHS lasted 20 something years, and people just got finished purchasing all their old movies on the new format. Most do not have the equipment to take advantage of the extra features either way. The DVD will be replaced by holographic tech like the HMD tech.

Quoted for truth. Honestly, did none of the industries learn anything from the Laserdisc situation? (...ignoring Japan, where they took off due to being cheaper than VHS tapes)

XBOX360 just isnt selling here, most games (apart from day 1 new releases) are already available for $79 AUD, about $50 USD, (at JB HiFi) and has achieved what the GCN could not do in killing XBOX sales as well.
I believe DS first/second shipment of DS-Lite sold out, as EB games are advertising New shipment of DS-Lite has arrived, DS-Lite back in stock. This is also supported by the fact that older DS titles are climbing back up. This plus the fact that 2 titles are still in the top 10 after many weeks is amazing for this country. And EB are also moving DS to the front of the store.

DS-Lite and Brain Training were advertised extensively in peak hr adult TV and also during breakfast shows for about 2 weeks. All adds have now stopped, I think Nintendo wanted to get the message out to Adults that they have games for them.

Not exactly, we got close to zero adds here fore the gamecube. There may have been one or two during some kids shows, but I never saw them.
The adss they did for the DS would not have been cheap. Sponsering the top quiz show at 7PM for 2 weeks would be expensive.

NSMB is set to break 3mil in about 4-5 weeks and BT2 is set to do it in about 2-3 weeks. AC continues to fall but Tamagochi is til selling strong.
p.s. DS Lite continues to sell out every shipment in Japan, Nintendo cannot produce enough units fast enough.

Overall hardware sales were up 25% y/y counting current and next gen consoles and handheld sales. 128-bit hardware sales were down 33% y/y in July. PS2 unit sales were down 22% y/y, GCN down 13% and Xbox down 47%. This brings the install base of 128-bit consoles to approximately 60 million in the U.S. The Xbox 360 sold 207K units versus 277K in June, with a strong life-to-date tie ratio of 4.61. Combined Xbox and Xbox 360 software increased 44% y/y. We expect Xbox 360 hardware sales to pick up in August with the release of EA’s Madden NFL 2007.
edit: For those that don't know, NPD #'s are ranked by $$$ made by sale, so that would mean that NSMB DS costing $34.99 in 3rd place vs NCAA 360 @ $59.99 in second place and NCAA PS2 @ $49.99 at 1st place, more than likely puts NSMB in 1st place by units sold since it cost $25.00 less that the 360 game and is only one place lower in the rankings.

How is Sony going to sell any PS3's if Xbox 360 is already too expensive for people?
Simple, it plays PS2 games. Its also possible (but less likely due to price of Wii) that the PS2 has such momentum that it will still continue to outsell all next gen systems. I think Sony is hoping that is the case until they can reduce the PS3 to a reasonable price.

Yeah it plays PS2 games but if you already own a PS2 and want to have access to your game saves you have to buy a seperate adapter. I mean you think for $600 you wouldn't need a seperate adapter....but this is Sony we are talking about.

Has anyone else noticed the steady increase in PSP sales in Japan? It's at over 50k per week now. HOW? A month or so ago it was selling less than 20k, what's changed? Nothing in the PSP world. It's Nintendo who are KILLING THEMSELVES by purposely undershipping DS's to build fake "sold out" hype, people are fed up with the Nintendo BS and just buying PSPs now. The paradigm shift is upon us and nothing can change that. Everyone knows the DS has the best games, but people are STILL buying PSPs. It's the general attitude of Nintendo that's scaring off consumers. Here's a tip Nintendo, people aren't going to keep buying your products for the name alone, there's no way in hell this fake strategy is going to get Wii attention, if anything it's turning more and more people away, if you look at the other system that is steadily increasing in sales, Xbox 360. The decline in Xbox 1 sales reinforces the point that people are now hopping on the Xbox 360 bandwagon, and the only people Nintendo can blame for that is themselves. Not only has this affected Nintendo but it's dragging down the entire game industry over there when people can't even get what they want, which effects the worldwide entertainment industry as a whole which pretty much makes Nintendo the central cause of all the violence and corruption in the world. Sad times for Nintendo fans.

You have got to be kidding me. This isn't even like GCN and Xbox where it was a narrow margin. The PSP increase is solely the result of thjat #1 game, and maybe LocoRoco and a small amount of worthwhile games. As soon as they fade into memory the PSP will too. You're acting as if DS was done, yet it still outsells PSP by a 3 to 1 margin. That's way more of a lead than Genesis had on SNES even in the dark days of the '91 holiday season.
People are still buying PSPs because it's for the lowbrow softcore gamer, and while that is the major demogrphic in the US it is not in Japan or even Europe, and I assure you Nintendo will continue its total domination in the handheld market with a far more stellar lineup than PSP has to offer.

If anything these new US statistics show a sales DECLINE for the DS as only about a million people still care enough about DS to keep up with the new unit. Okay, this might be considered sarcasm.

All true. I realize that Mario's not really worried because they difference between DS and PSP sales are still huge, but nothing in this is sarcasm.

Navi cookbook also managed to hang on with a Top 5 spot with
NSMB taking back it throne at the top of the chart with a #1 spot once again.
Overall: 7 DS games in Top 10
Post by: vudu on August 16, 2006, 09:01:34 AM
Of the top 100 games (in units) for the first half of 2006
44 are PS2
30 are DS
11 are PSP
8 are GBA
3 are GCN
1 is Xbox 360

QuoteActually, this is something I found interesting. (Note, I didn't put this together, so the math might be off.)
Sony beat everybody...
PS2
Total games on list: 44
Total units sold: 10,492,475
Avg units sold per title: 238,465
DS
Total games on list: 30
Total units sold: 14,043,151
Avg units sold per title: 468,105
So DS sold more games than PS2 even though the number of games were smaller.

The end of DS-Lites reign has occured, dropping a massive 62% in one week of sales. Even if PSP sales stay the same PSP will take over the lead with this continued massive drop.
Nintento need to pull something out of the bag immediately, havent they learnt anything from GCN? Surely they can get some third party to release a system seller rather than always relying on "brain training" and "mario" to lead the brigade.
With this projected rate of decline DS-lite sales will be in single figures in 10 weeks time!

I also heard there were 600,000 pre-orders, so not everyone who pre-ordered got their copy.
The FFIII DSL is probably also the reason for the drop in DSL sales for the week prior. Nintendo probably agreed to make a certain number of them and they had to take some stock from the regular ones.

You know, I just had a thought. Maybe part of the reason DS games sustain high sales for so long is due to the shortages. I mean, if everyone in Japan who wants a DS had one, maybe the games would just sell 2 million up front and then taper off. Anyway, yeah, curious about those FFIII sales.
Post by: Hocotate on August 29, 2006, 05:46:43 AM
The DS is doing so well. While I don't think it will outlast Mario or Animal Crossing, I have a feeling FFIII will be up there for awhile.

Final Fantasy Tops Half Million
August 29, 2006 - Japan's biggest game is, once again, Final Fantasy. According to a report on the entertainment page of Japan's Mainichi Interactive news site, Square Enix's Final Fantasy III topped the 500,000 mark in its first week of sales. The title was released for the DS on 8/24.
The site reports that Square Enix was originally expecting first week sales to cap off at 350,000 units.
Stupid idiots, only 350,000 for a high profile DS game? How dumb can you be? No wonder there's shortages. FLOP

Post by: couchmonkey on August 30, 2006, 05:38:00 AM
Actually, this is an interesting point: if Nintendo is truly having problems meeting demand, then the sales shouldn't really go up much during the holiday season. Of course, you could argue Nintendo is stockpiling units for that time because it knows demand is going to be even higher, but either way, that would suggest that Nintendo is artificially creating demand.
Oh yeah, and half a million? Nice.

Man, the DS software tie ratio has to be absolutely huge. Too bad FF3 didn't sell any more DS's than usual. Looks like nobody will buy a Nintendo system for third party games, that has to be massively worrying for any company who has announced DS games without Mario in them. No wonder PSP is getting all the most fantastic support, third parties have been thinking ahead.

It's bad enough that it's been ages since we've seen a GC game in the top 10. But it only adds insult to injury that the GBA is all but dead as well, with Bit Generations and Rhythm Tengoku the FLOPS we all knew them to be.

Post by: Artimus on August 30, 2006, 06:34:14 PM
I am curious, though. Are the bundle sales included in that DSLite number? Those bundles sold out and there were supposedly 200,000 of them.

O.O at sweeping up the whole Top 10. Unf#ckin believeable!!!

QuoteHeh. I find it funny that Nintendo can artificially cause a spike in DS sales just by shipping more units that week. Then they can say it was caused by a certain game. So when "Touch DIC 2" comes out, Nintendo will be like, "Yep. That game sure sold tonnes of DSes. New audience. Nongamer strategy in the works, people.."
Man, the DS software tie ratio has to be absolutely huge. Too bad FF3 didn't sell any more DS's than usual.

"The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance, those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth."
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a sparkling innovation - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that."
"Nintendo knows its target audience, because it has really narrowed that down; and it's pretty much defined by a boy or girl's ability to admire Pokemon."
"PSP will elevate portable entertainment out of the handheld gaming ghetto, and Sony is the only company that can do it,"
Sound similar to Sony's rants about the PS3 being the only true Next Gen System?
Post by: KDR_11k on August 31, 2006, 05:19:51 AM
Yes, it'd be pretty damn insulting to Nintendo to compare any of their handhelds to the PSP mroe liek NGage

It's not that huge. You can hardly expect that many games to sell that many copies.

Anyways, it's not brand loyalty that's selling these games. It's concept.
Cookbook. (DS Navi Cooking)
Learn a new language. (English Training)
Minigames. (Tamagotchi)
Pachinko (PS2 Pachislot game at #11 and another Pachinko game at #14)
NO ONE COMPANY owns a patent on any of these new and emergent themes. As a developer, this should be a very exciting time because entirely new untapped markets are opening up with the DS and, unlike the stale past handheld market, there are new game types just waiting to be discovered, staked out, and mined for profits. It's a new gold rush!

In case you didn't know, Saturn killed Playstation in Japan. Although post-1997, Sony's hardware outsold Sega's, it wasn't until much later that Saturn's software wasn't convincingly on top.

That doesn't make Playstation better than Saturn. Sega Saturn is a much, much, much better system than is Sony Playstation.
Just like Nintendo DS is greater than Sony Playstation Portable.
In other news, Final Fantasy III looks fantastic and I think it'll sell units in the United States too.

It resulted in a crime against nature. With 2 chips that were designed for 2D, squezzing enough power out of them for 3D was a complete nightmare. Even maxed out it could not hope to match vertex to vertex to what the PSX could do.
But it did produce some really nice 2D games and managed some noteable 3D ones.

Wrong, and a common misconception.
The Saturn's hardware had 2 CPUs, and 6 other processors. It was designed from the ground up for 3-D, although it had impressive 2-D abilities as well. The thing is that it was easy to program 2D whereas 3D was difficult, hence the terrible Saturn Virtua Fighter. However, as demonstrated by Virtua Fighter 2, 3D was very feasible on the system and it could go head-to-head (and above and beyond) with Playstation if the dev was talented enough. Yu Suzuki, for example, programmed the Saturn version of Shenmue. Show me any PSone game that uses rendered 3D that looks as good, or any 3DO game or any 32-bit game for that matter. Tecmo's whateverhisfirstnameis Itagaki, who was an excellent developer, said he himself would program for Saturn over Playstation to this day.

He also said he likes making his team work on difficult consoles and he'd appreciate if the PS3 was more difficult to use than the PS2.
EDIT: oops, I think that was Kojima, not Itagaki. Perhaps his goal is just to make 95% of the games not use the full power of the system so when his games do everyone lauds them for their great graphics.

Edit: although in all seriousness, I think Nintendo's willingness to follow through on less-popular systems like N64 and GameCube is one of the things that separates it from Sega (i.e. hardware failure): it shows the consumers that they can count on Nintendo's support right to the bitter end, even if the third parties drop out.

Actually, IIRC, Sega realized Nintendo had dominance over the American market, so they sold marketing rights to teh SMS to Tonka. I agree Sega did pull the plug early on many of their systems. I believe another reason they failed in the long run would be due to their emphasis on hardware. It's easy to point to the Sega CD, and the 32X, but many people don't know many of Sega's other blunders, including: 2 Genesis redesigns, the Nomad (portable Genesis), the X'eye/Wondermega (Genesis/Sega CD hybrid), and the CDX (PORTABLE Genesis/Sega CD hybrid) among others.

FFIII still going strong now that there are more games on the shelves
Tingle getting off to a decent start
DS has (3) 3+million sellers in the Top 10 and about (5) 1+million seller in the Top 15
I can't wait to see the charts come late November when Wii and PS3 are launched.

The key to that is how long a "while" is. I still say that's what hurt Microsoft most, not the launch scarcity, or the paucity of solid titles, or even the rampant stories of hardware failures. Everybody was scrambling for 360's until about a month before the supply got up to a reasonable amount, and at that point it seems like a lot of people who didn't get them just started forgetting about it.

The only reason I havent got a 360 is because of the failure rate, not that I forgot about it due to shortages initially.

Nintendo also seems to have only been able to stockpile around a million DS Lites this week, 500,000 of those the Pokemon P/D Special edition ones ... also probably sold out.

Assuming the two Pokemon games ship 750,000 to 1,000,000 copies each (reasonable? unreasonable?), we should see combined sales anywhere from 1.4-1.8 million. Virtually a complete sellout. It could go even closer to the total sellout number of 2,000,000, but I'm going to be conservative. I highly doubt Nintendo ships less than this. The system numbers become tricky, because we're talking about a rather large install base. However, it is perhaps safe to assume with such a high concentration of the 'non-games' doing well, a large part of the Pokemon audience (many kids) haven't gotten a DS yet. So I expect Nintendo will also virtually sellout of DSLs (totally selling out of the Pokemon version). I suspect they'll have 500,000-800,000 available, but this might be highballing it a lot. So I suspect we'll see 3-5 times what we saw this week, anywhere from 400,000-700,000. Should Nintendo ship as many as 1,000,000 systems, however, we could see a virtual sellout of 800,000-900,000. Do not expect that, however. Because the Pokemon game has likely been sold out, or nearly so, since the first day, a lot of new system purchases will be held off until the next shipment of games. If we take the average DSLs per week at about 135,000, then I would say we'll see about 1.6 to 2 million extra sales over the next 6 weeks (aka. 2.4 to 2.8 million DS systems sold in that period).
In summary:
Pokemon combined sales - 1.7 million (1.4-1.8 range with a 1.2 lowball and 1.9 highball depending on shipments)
System sales next week - 600,000 (450-700 range with a 400 lowball and 850 highball depending on shipments)
Post by: MattVDB on September 29, 2006, 12:17:02 PM
According to a translation, 1 million copies of each game was shipped, and close, if not all have sold out. Nintendo also anticipated this demand and shipped 1 million DS Lites. Both the 2 million Pokemon copies and 500,000 DS Lites sold within a matter of a couple hours. HOLY FRICK. Those are some impressive numbers.

Honestly, I can't see how Pokemon DS wouldn't totally out shadow FFIII. That game is going to be huge.
Post by: couchmonkey on October 02, 2006, 10:07:46 AM
Square can't be too disappointed with that, it means that FFIII's sales are way better than the company planned. The only way Square Enix could be disappointed with this outcome is if Nintendo has been holding back cartridges on it...which probably is the case, since Nintendo needs them for Pokemon.
Seriously, though, having too many customers is hardly ever a bad thing.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, Pokemon is officially a FLOP and is now down to selling Pokemon Dash type numbers after only ONE WEEK. That was an incredibly short party, looks like it really is just a fad. I thought only FF dropped this big? Pokemon P/D is going to set records alright, to be the quickest game to travel down the chart. Sony capitalising on Nintendos mistakes too by releasing a pretty huge PSP hit, that's gotta hurt for Nintendo to have some random PSP game up there with Pokemon. Sony has all bases covered.
I wonder how low DS hardware sales are going to be now? Last week probably WAS the high point in its lifespan, Nintendo better get more shipments in or they'll be doomed to keep selling a pathetic 200k systems a week.

Yeah, I was especially amazed at the performance of Mushi King 2, considering how well the GBA one did. So much for this being Sega's "Pokémon"...

Not only the 10,000 preorders of the Blue Dragon bundle, but the are also rapidly going through the 90,000 other systems that have been sitting on the shelves since launch too. Blue Dragon is just the game that the Japanese have been waiting for and since the PS3 is only going to have about 100,000 systems in Nov., the 360 could really help seal Sony's fate in Japan if the sales trend keeps up during and after the release of Blue Bragon.
We all know that the DS is unstoppable and we also know that the Wii will sellout at launch. If the 360 picks up steam, will there literally be room left for sony and their >Xbox sized PS3 in Japanese homes?

I think it's interesting how everyone assumed that with the announcement of Dead or Alive, 360 would start selling. The console hardly sold but it had a huge penetration rate amongst owners of the console. Then everyone said the same of Dead Rising. Same result. There may be a micro-rush for a limited edition console or something,but Blue Drag isn't going to creative massive attention for 360 in Japan. Yes, essentialy every 360 owner will buy it. Even with both of them behind it though, it'll be another installment in a long line of Japanese games that everyone called "Teh great MS hope" that ultimately do nothing to prevent MS from falling further and further into oblivion.

Post by: capamerica on October 20, 2006, 06:52:56 AM
The only thing keeping Sony afloat is the extreamly few exclusive titles they have left. If they were to lose Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid its game over.
I'm still more then willing to bet that before Metal Gear Solid 4 is released we'll be hearing that a port will be coming to the Xbox360. Final Fantasy on the other hand I'm still unsure, but maybe if PS3 sales are very poor Square will port it. They have hinted that its not out of the question so who knows maybe we'll get a 360 and PC port.
Post by: KDR_11k on October 20, 2006, 07:16:54 AM
I have a feeling Sony will toss them an even larger bag of cash in that case.

I disagree Cap'n.
MGS 4 is intensely centered on what Kojima wants, I think, and I'd think that Hideo I-want-to-be-an-auteur-and-the-next-Kurosawa Kojima would feel his magnum opus would be "purer" on one console as opposed to having two different versions, one or the other being inferior.
Besides, MGS4 is supposed to be pumping tons of power out of the PS3. I doubt that Konami Koders would be very happy with having to build an entirely new uber-ambitious engine from scrath for the X360.
BUT...
FFXIII I CAN see mechanically being possible to switch over to the X360. After all, it's just some pretty graphics, unambitious real time play elements, and cut scenes. The problem here is whether ANY amount of many would convince Square to release their flagship titles on a system that hasn't even moved 250,000(?) in Japan in about a yead...

As for Final Fantasy XIII, I don't think a port to 360 is very likely, but I guess it could happen if PS3 flops.

MGS2 for the Xbox came a full year later than the PS2 offering though, and was never even released in Japan (which is a common scenario with a lot of multi-platform games for the system there).

Substance sold like crap and Kojima has said he wants to stay on Sony.
Hence MGS3 never saw an Xbox version.

It's also good to see Rhythm Tengoku back on the list. I hope that game can keep selling. I'd welcome it here in North America. Yes, Vudu. I share your love of it too. Custom Robo doesn't seem to be doing to good on the other hand. Or has the series always been like this?

It was translated from some euro site to say that they expect replenishments every three days(for the rest of the year I assume)

Edit: Just doing some quick n' dirty calculations...if there are 9 more shipments of Wii totalling 600,000 in Japan (just a guess, I don't know if they'll give Japan 1 mil or not) then there'd be 66,666 each shipment...so in Japan Nintendo would be sending out 83% worth of Sony's initial PS3 shipment every three days in December!

Post by: Louieturkey on November 09, 2006, 07:42:43 AM
Back on topic, Brain Age 2, NSMB, AC:WW and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl should all reach at least 3,500,000 by the end of the year in Japan. Pokemon possibly 4 million if if stays the same speed it's going (in fact, I predicted this speed a while back just before its release).

Back at the Playstation Summit the total number of games sold worldwide for the PSP was reported as 11.7 Million. Thats a couple months old but they were the newest figures I could fine. So at the time it only take 4 games in the 3 Million+ category.

L-T-D m-create: 12,062,092!!!
That's more than the original GBA, the GBC, the GBP, and just under the original Game Boy LTD!!
It took the PS2 184 weeks to reach 12m...
the DS nearly half that time in...102 weeks!!
and Xbox 360 core pack was released last week for all of those wondering why the 360 sales jumped.

I'm personally giving the Wii a 1:4 tie in, not counting sports. This'll be the highest number of games I'll buy with a console, ever, and I'm being conservative and only buying multiplayer games which I know I'll get value from with all the Wiimotes ($180 and all, I BETTER get my $$$ worth...).

Well if the launch lineup was limited to those 5 games then each game will have a higher chance to get bought but even at this case the software sales bombed. And considering this was launch that is not encouraging but on the other side the true point of the PS3 is just so Sony can create a install base for Blu-ray but didn't Sony try that with the PSP for UMD and it failed horribly hmm we will see how these few next months will turn out.

What does Blu-ray offer?
Higher resolution is the answer. I tried explaining that to my aunt the other day and after my explanation, everyone in the room's eyes had glazed over, and my mom said, "Now you're sorry you asked, aren't you?"
What did DVD offer? Not just picture quality, also:
- more compact size (an entire season of TV shows fits in a box the size of one VHS tape)
- menu systems that significantly reduce rewinding and fast forwarding
- special features
Blu-ray only offers better picture quality, and with HDTV at maybe 20% penetration in North America and probably lower in most other places, how high can the demand for Blu-ray OR HD-DVD be? Not very, I say.
Post by: hudsonhawk on November 14, 2006, 05:40:22 AM
If you haven't played around with it you should - whether or not it makes the formats worth getting, it is pretty cool. It makes DVD seem old and clunky by comparison.

Seriously, was about to make those same exact points. Although how many DVDs actually come with the angle feature is hardly any at all...
Suffice to say, though, DVD is more than fine for me until we actually see a worth while leap in tech for home videos, like DVD was for VHS.
Post by: Artimus on November 14, 2006, 07:35:56 AM
The real reason it won't catch on, though, is cost. If the players were like $150 instead of $800 people would considering buying them. Likewise, the discs are expensive. The Lost Season 1 set that is supposedly coming out next summer is rumored to cost upwards of $200! Your base consumer won't pay that.

No, it's the fault of the DVD standard not requiring a playback buffer.

Well it's more than that. It's that you can have software-generated content that overlays / interacts with the movie. If you use your imagination a little you can see that this could be pretty useful.
Look, I'm not defending the formats. Couchmonkey said that the only difference between DVD and BluRay / HD-DVD was picture quality - I'm just pointing out that there's much more to it than that. They're full-fledged software platforms that can do complicated things that could never be achieved with DVD. The best analogy I can think of is strict HTML vs Flash-enhanced web sites. For most purposes HTML is fine, but Flash lets you do a lot of things that HTML could never accomplish.

Is there any way to tell whether a DVD player does this? Is there a buzzword or feature name to look for?
Post by: hudsonhawk on November 14, 2006, 09:00:39 AM
Oohhboy is flaming when he says that DVD players without it are "POS" - it's a relatively new feature. There's lots of really nice DVD players out there that don't have this feature, though at this point I wouldn't get one without it. Not worth replacing your DVD player just for that feature but if you're getting a new one it's definitely worth looking for.
Post by: couchmonkey on November 14, 2006, 10:00:36 AM
I think Blu-ray may be a big draw for PS3 down the road, but it will depend on PS3 and Blu-ray maintaining a certain level of popularity until such a time as Blu-ray players become a big plus for consumers.

I'm sure everyone waiting in line for a PS3 either already owned a DSL or bought one just to wait in line with, and if they didn't, don't be surprised if they bought one afterwards when they found out that there were no more PS3's available and they would have to come back and wait in line again some other day

QuoteIf they did that, isn't there a good chance Wii sales would be lowered because they consumer just bought a gaming system the week before?
Supposedly Nintendo had been stockpiling DSLites like has been previously mentioned and released them all just b4 the PS3 launch. So I expect DSL to outsell everything(combined) on the sales chart this week, again.

QuoteIts supposed to be 100k a week, but Sony is only gonna be able to provide around 30k for atleast next week. This news popped up just before the news of Sony almost halving the U.S. shipments from 400k down to somewhere closer to 250k for launch. Basically, Sony is getting hit hard lately, and I doubt the bad news stops anytime soon.

It was too easy to call, sad to say though, next week could be worse(PS3 restock?).
What would be funny is if DS in Japan outsells PS3 @ the U.S. launch.
Post by: couchmonkey on November 17, 2006, 03:21:41 AM
I personally doubt PS3 will ever sell more than 100,000 in one week in Japan this year. Where is Sony going to get those magical extra PS3s when they could only provide 80,000 on the first day - after months of ramp-up time?

You know what I find strange? When the GameCube was Nintendo's main console and selling poorly people said Nintendo should get out of the console market, and focus on game development and portable systems. Now of course that was mindless babble but there were a lot of people spewing this idiocy, even non-video game people like Yahoo editors.
Where are the people telling Sony to stop trying with the PSP? Sure hardware sales aren't bad, neither were the GC's in it's hayday, the problem is lack of quality and sales of software, and the fact that the DS is trouncing it at every turn. But nope, all the hate in the video game world is saved for Nintendo's mistakes, damn the world.
DS FTW!!!
You know I'm going to constantly use that now that I know what it means, I originally thought is some play on the ever-popular WTF!

On the Nintendo side of things... at least it's not nearly as dismal as the GC sales are. I'd expect those to flatline about the time Wii is released. Speaking of things dropped like a bad habbit, wow, look at those Phat style DS sales... its hanging out with the Xbox and GBA big time. Thank be to heaven for the DSlite, just clobbering everyone and the PSP by 7.7:1...
Last year was just insane with the store shelves just stripped bare and Nintendo apologizing, I sure hope nintendo is braced for impact...

EDIT: Personally I don't believe Sony is going to quit on the PSP anytime soon, but it makes you wonder, what will it take for them to give up? To give up would mean to admit defeat, not to mention to a company they have long made fun of, and dismissed on countless occasions, all the while stealing their ideas.

I wonder how the DS and Wii sales go together, and will the charts be filled with nothing but Nintendo. As fanboyish wishing as that may sound it seems very likely it will happen. I'd expect nothing less than 3 Wii games selling more than 50,000 copies.
Edit: numbers may have been a bit too wishful.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see weeks with nothing but Nintendo in the top 10 (like that one chart of complete DS pwnage). I know it's a bit early to tell, but so far the PS3 has a horrible software tie-in-ratio just like the PSP, I don't think any PS3 games will be selling anywhere near the big DS titles (at least for the rest of 06 and most of 07)... DS=Wii, PSP=PS3 the they are very similar in more ways than one!

Edit:
To clarify a bit, I guess.... The idea is that there is going to be a "battle" going on between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft during November, the results of which will, of course, be brought to us by NPD. If you're going to go to battle with your rivals, I don't think Sony would do well to bring along "Resistance" when they could bring along say, Final Fantasy.
Gears and Zelda are all that and a bag of chips. Resistance? I dunno, I guess I'll just have to defer to you. But I do think it is telling that the person who made the video chose (for the PS3) to ignore Resistance in favor a PS2 game.
Post by: couchmonkey on November 28, 2006, 02:28:45 AM
So how about those DS sales? I heard it reached 7 million in Europe lately. Also interesting, Wikipedia's PSP entry has had the "sales and competition" section removed over the past month.

The Wii should easily win November. It already has over 600,000 and will likely sell around 700,000 by Friday (maybe 650?). The 360 would have to have sold 2-3 times its usual to beat that.

I remember that one. I'm guessing that soon the chart will be divided up by systems and then a seperate one for companies. Nintendo will be eating Sony and MS.

I mean, I know I have, geez, like 25 games for the system, but I figure that's because i'm a pretty hard core Nintendo fan. Do we know what the game attach rate to PS2 and Xbox1 are?

GameCube really isn't a failure, at least business-wise. It's a disappointment because it lost customers compared to N64 and even failed to beat Xbox, but I bet it still made a decent profit for Nintendo. Xbox is more of a failure in that respect: sure it came in second, but it lost billions of dollars.
Edit: Game-wise, I think GameCube's final year has been a failure, and 2005 was surprisingly weak too (though not nearly as bad as some make it out to be). The first-party software was also worse than N64 in some cases but I think the system's lineup was better than N64 overall simply because of better third party support.

Does this include the Mario sports games and Mario Party games in those 193 million? If not, then that is impressive (of course, a good chunk of those were the original SMB packed in with the NES)

All I can say is WOW! These would be great numbers for the life of a system, never mind just 2 years.
I'm thinking it'll reach 100+ million units and 400+ million software sales when it's finally discontinued.
Not bad for what was once called a "gimmicky" system.

So you're thinking that it will reach 4x as many units sold but only 4x as much software sold? I think thats an underestimation. At 4x the hardware sold I would expect around 10x the software sold, if current buying trends stay the same.

Yes, I probably was low on the estimate software sales, and just shows how impressive the DS has been in terms of sales.

I know, and so does everyone else here, that the DS games are great, but i can't help but think is that really the pushing factor? The DS phat didn't sell nearly this well. was it all just because of the looks, or did people really hold out that long for a lite?
Also, anyone have any stats to know if the gba or original gameboy sold this well ever? (over the DS life span of 2 years, not over all)
Post by: IceCold on December 07, 2006, 03:53:58 PM
QuoteBefore May, we were all puzzled about how North America was the only market that hadn't embraced the DS. Here, it was always neck and neck with the PSP, even though it had a much better game library. I found it hard to believe that the DS was not pulling ahead, especially since so many of the franchises which had sold the GBA had been translated successfully to the DS, with better results many times. Even last autumn when all those great games (including Mario Kart DS) came out, there wasn't much of a difference.

I think it was New Super Mario Bros and the DS Lite which did it - since then there is clear separation in the North American market.

I think New Super Mario Bros was a big deal for North America. My cousin's boyfriend couldn't stop playing it when we were hanging out at my grandparents' place this summer. It sold him on the DS. I have a feeling that we're also seeing the sum of many important games like Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Brain Training, Mario Kart, Tetris and Metroid adding up. It's possible that DS Lite took off not just because it was nicer than DS, but also because people were already interested but heard a new version was coming out, so they waited.
Some life to date sales for Brain Training, Animal Crossing and Tetris would be really interesting. I know Nintendogs is huge, and I can assume the Mario games have done well, but I wonder about those ones?

QuoteYea, but if there were no SP's availible Nintendo might not get a sale. GBA still has great games availible and an ever extensive back library. And there is no doubt or hesitancy about the PSP outselling the DS. So I wouldn't be so quick to kill the SP off.

Most of them threw their lot in with the PSP from Day One and are now sent scrambling as Nintendo had to build their empire all by themselves, sans Square Enix, who actually favored DS. Now that the PSP ship is sinking, it should stand to reason that their fanbase on DS is low, and therefore they may not get as big a piece of the pie. But it's not like they have much choice in the matter. PSP software sales are abysmal, so a small piece of a big pie is better than a small piece of a little pie.

Yeah 3rd party developers bet on the wrong horse and now they are scrambling to play catch up. I mean Konami, Capcom, and Sega haven't exactly been putting top notch titles out for DS. Especially Capcom, I'm sure they are rethinking their position now.

Is konami making some sort of a profit off the psp? Whats with all that psp support? Or did they just not want to throw away any engines they made for that system since it looks like they put alot of work into it (considering they were supporting the psp more than ds from day one SANS castlevania.)
What gives, how much of a hit are they willing to take fancially until they give up and put out some more games for the DS or just port their titles over to the PS2 like rockstar did.

As for acid 2 i heard no news of its success, and i know the FPS they released which they are making a sequel to now got a massive price slash because they didn't move enough units before the sequels release. I don't know about the rpg. They have even more games then the ones i'm thinking of for sure.
Personally i don't know anything about niche market or whatever, all i care about is getting developer support with games and series i enjoy. And i enjoy MGS, and i would have liked to see some incarnation either on the DS or Wii (esspecially with kojima's love for Smash brothers, i mean the guy could at least throw nintendo a bone). But at this rate, it looks like konami just sticks with demographics. PSP = mature and DS does not, which makes no sense, the only thing PSP = is expensive.

My store sold me one because I threw a hissy fit (They were marked on the boxes to come out that day and Wal*Mart TV was advertising for about a week that they were "on sale now") - but they wanted to save them for the ad that was coming out as well - so they made the decision to sell them to anyone who showed up at midnight and save the rest for that Friday. And I was the only one who showed up at midnight!

Also, how come Nintendo isn't releasing more copies of older games? Like Wario Ware Touched. I'm sure that could become a 2 million seller. But they have stopped making copies of that game. I don't have it. I'd buy it. And I know at least 3 other people who have DS's who don't have that game and would like to buy it also.
Same with Advance Wars Dual Strike and Yoshi: Touch & Go. All of us would like these games. I'm sure there are plenty more who would be interested in these games. The DS userbase has exploded so much since they were released. I'm sure there is still a market for them.

expect 360 to hit around 27-37k in hardware sales (my guess) and PS3 to hold onto its second place status for now.
Noone should be too shocked by the 17th place Zelda TP since I posted the famitsu earlier this morning.
It aslo good to see NSMB, AC, MBA still holding on w/ more than 35k+ sale a week.

09 NDS Jump Ultimate Stars
10 Wii Wii Sports
Where are all the Wii games? Is new/next gen doomed to fail in Japan because of DS domination? Does no one care about consoles any more? Well, we'll see what happens when Media-Create is released later today, I'm sure things might look a little different.
But NSMB is back in the Top 10, with a chance at hitting 4mil now
P: D/P = 3.7mil
NSMB = 3.5mil
and suppoedly DS is at around 400k for the week and just under a 1mil for the first 2 weeks of Dec.
DQMJ is supposed to launch in 2 weeks in Japan, so its possible that DS could hit real close to 2mil in one month in Japan.

Though now that you mention it, I took a peek at VGcharts, and according to them the top 20 all-time games in Japan are heavily dominated by Game Boy and DS.

Huh? Is that Ryuusei no Rockman (new EXE series) or what?
Post by: IceCold on December 20, 2006, 09:31:20 AM
QuoteThere was that chart comparing Super Mario World to NSMB - apparently, SMB and SMB3 did really well in Japan (obviously) but SMW was weak there compared to the rest of the world. I wonder how much New Super Mario Bros has sold worldwide..

? But as far as Nintendo Hardware Dominating the software charts yet again....

Heh, that's funny, the majority of publications and reviews have deemed this Zelda better than any other before it, yet it got a lower score from Famitsu than Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker which both got 40/40. Funny funny stuff.

Which is why New Super Mario Bros. is the highest selling individual DS game, right? (second if you count the two Pokemon games as one)
If Zelda doesn't sell a million it's only because of a lack of launch supplies. But it will. It's already coming close to 500,000 and should pass it by the end of January (at least).

WW got a perfect score? What the hell...

QuoteIt makes sense--Wind Waker was perfect. Although, I did feel a bit gypped when Jabun just up and gave me the third pearl without completing a dungeon.
WW got a perfect score? What the hell...
Twilight Princess lost a point because it was "too hard", which actually earns it an extra point in my book. 41/40.

If anything, I thought TP was too easy, which further makes me want to spit on the Famitsu editors.

I meant disappointing as in I expected some more epic akin to the boss battles in OoT and MM. I was expecting to face Ganondorf more than once in the final battle.
The bosses were challenging, yeah, but the game felt easier for me...

Which is why New Super Mario Bros. is the highest selling individual DS game, right? (second if you count the two Pokemon games as one)Quote
Did you read my entire post?
I was actually going to put RPGs rather than Final Fantasy but screwed it up.

Zelda is already past 300,000 you really think it won't pass 500?

Eh, too much water traveling in that game. I highly enjoyed it but don't think I could play through it again.

-Zelda will hit 300,000 next week. It's current attach rate is 28% which isn't the same as here, but is very strong considering a larger portion of Japanese non-gamers are buying the system.

-Mario Kart DS joins every other game in the series in the over two million copies club.

Well, since you seem to be the only one who can find MC's numbers easily, I guess that is why we haven't seen them yet.
On a side note, ha, Zelda has not reached 300,000 yet. Though I still believe others are right and it may hit 500,000 at some point. It won't reach 1 million though.
Go Animal Crossing and Mario and next week, Brain Training 2 as well.
Oh and FYI, Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA did not reach 2 million in sales in Japan so not every game in the series has reached this milestone.
Common Knowledge Training is the next in an endless line of 1 million sellers for the DS.

I think it's also considered the fastest selling system in Europe ever, just like in Japan.

Yes, but the PS3 sold that many with many left in stores. The Wii sold that many and sold out.

1. Ridge Racer 7 - 98,616
2. Gundam: Target in Sight - 96,714
3. Resistance - 72,694
Top 3 360
1. Blue Dragon - 119,396
2. Dead or Alive 4 - 103,307
3. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 - 57,060
Top 5 placement manufactuers:

2. Bandai Namco Games - 15/100
3. Square Enix - 13/100
4. Konami - 8/100
5. Capcom - 7/100
5. Sega - 7/100

2. Square Enix - 6,847,891
3. Pokemon - 5,584,691
4. Bandai Namco Games - 4,228,898
5. Konami - 2,495,964
2004 total sales: 56,090,000 across 1019 games
2005 total sales: 55,430,000 across 1077 games
2006 total sales: 77,160,000 across 1240 games
Major dates:
3.02 - DSL crystal white launched
3.11 - DSL ice blue and enamel navy launched
3.16 - Final Fantasy XII launched
5.27 - New Super Mario Brothers launched
7.20 - DSL noble pink launched
9.02 - DSL jet black launched
9.28 - Pokemon Diamond + Pearl launched
11.11 - PlayStation 3 launched
12.2 - Wii launched
12.7 - Blue Dragon launched
Notice how Wii was not included on the Top 3 comparison, Wii Sports alone outsold all of the PS3 or 360 offerings. If you combine sales of Wii Sports and Wii Play, you would probably outsell PS3 and X360 Top 3 put together.
Also notice how the X360 Top 3 outsold the PS3 Top 3
Top 3
PS3 = 268,024
360 = 279,763
Now is you take all the bolded Nintendo stats from the statistics...
1. Nintendo - 30/100
1. Nintendo - 24,216,590
and combine then with total software sales of 2006
2006 total sales: 77,160,000 across 1240 games
...it will make you say WOW!!!
Nintendo had almost 1/3 of the software sold in Japan in 2006!!??
Am I reading that wrong? That is just insane.
Combine those #'s with the ones from Pokemon Co.
3. Pokemon - 5,584,691
and you have more than 1/3 of all software sales, something closer to 40%.
I have got to be reading these statistics wrong.
and those closest to Nintendo seems to benefit the most
Top 5 placement manufactuers:
2. Bandai Namco Games - 15/100
3. Square Enix - 13/100
Top 5 by units:
2. Square Enix - 6,847,891
3. Pokemon - 5,584,691
4. Bandai Namco Games - 4,228,898
Japan is now officially Nintendoland once again.
edit some charts for the visual types:
Software Sales 2006(Famitsu) - Top 10

QuoteEh... Yea, I don't get the original $20 price increase over the SP. I don't agree with the 50/40/30/whatever price though. It would have been just fine at $80 as a final (and optional) reconfiguration of the GBA hardware. The SP doesn't *need* to be smaller and I can appreciate why some people would lash out at it, but I really enjoy its even more compact size and much higher quality screen.

The GBM was always overpriced. It should have been priced as an inpulse buy at $39.99 and now later reduced to $34.99/$29.99. At $50/60/70 it was incredibly overpriced for what it was. I'm glad it bombed. Even if it does reach that magical price point though, I feel its already too late for the micro unless they have some sort of new advertising campaign for it.

In any event, they just confirmed that DS has sold 10.000.000 units in Europe alone, and that is sold units, not shipped units! I am thankfull that Nintendo is enjoying such a succes since it bodes well for the future of DS game releases!

WOW @ GTA:SA, I didn't expect it to do that good in Japan, pretty good start for Hotel Dusk
& DQM:J is back. I told you it was just an undershipment of games, S-E says "Don't be mad at us, but we could only get another 100k and won't have more for 2 more weeks
" Apparently Picross & Hotel Dusk are both pretty much sold out too as Nintendo is having issues producing enough physical DS games to actually fill publisher and consumer demands. I guess its just not a DS & Wii hardware thing anymore.

Hold on, if Wii Sports sold between 60-70k copies this last week and there were only 80k systems sold, does that mean there is a near 90% attach rate for the game at the moment?
Post by: IceCold on January 31, 2007, 10:26:16 AM
QuoteDon't get me wrong, those are great games, but are they really "high" quality games when you compare them to the best DS ones?
I'm hoarding all my money for the Wii right now, but I think I may be able to find a leak in the system to buy some of DS games, we're finally (in IMHO) starting to see High Quality DS games, there have been quality titles for a while, but now they're high. like me... lol anyway, i'm looking forward to Hotel Dusk, Pokemon, Star Fox, and Picross to name a few

Like what other games? My favorite DS games so far have been, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Trauma Center, Age of Empires, and New Super Mario Bros. All good games but not what I would consider High Quality, in some respect yes, (like Wifi play in Mario Kart, and Metroid) but not completely.

It looks very close to the Famitsu #'s posted above.
and seeing weekly PS3 #'s staying so low, I'm now gonna guess that Europe is gonna have a HUGE launch now that Sony doesn't have to worry about shipping PS3's to Japan, and depending on NPD has to say in about a week, possibly not having to ship as many to the U.S. either. Lucky Europe...

QuoteHm... but will Europe care about the PS3 either? I mean, not only are they stuck with buying only the 60gb model only, but they have to pay a premium over and beyond the US and Japanese price. I'm guessing they are getting the same half-baked games too.

I haven't bought Star Fox yet, because I was kind of on the fence about it, then I played it, now I want it, and it's all just a matter of time before I have it, like this Saturday.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 01, 2007, 05:27:32 PM
QuoteI'm pretty sure they won't and thats gonna make Sony look very bad if they don't. If they don't sell out and PS3's just sit available at every store possible, I can see 3rd parties start rethinking their exclusive/port strategies.

Looks like the DS will surpass the GBA LTD before February is over. 2-3 weeks and its onto overtaking the PS2 which I believe sits around 20/21 million in Japan. Its gonna be interesting considering it took PS2 7 years to reach that # and DS is gonna do it in 3(4 at the absolute latest).

Are you sure? The 60GB has only trivial improvements over the 20GB and I think most people would rather save those 100€. The 20GB has a price that's more competitive with the 360.

But not Konami and Capcom, they are so stupidly stubborn that they will not rethink their plans. Just look at Konami releasing their Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles on PSP. They should have released it on a more viable system, PS2 or Wii (maybe DS just because.)
Capcom has stated that Devil May Cry 4 is exclusive for PS3, they will never make their money back with that game plan.

The same thing happend with the Xbox 360, people want the most for their money and to feel thay would get more for only a little but more $$$ sometimes sounds like the better deal.
but the problem is that the 20g PS3 can't be upgraded to the same specs as the 60g PS3. Why Sony did this is just another example of their stupid thinking. MS at least allows the consumer to upgrade their core system to that of the premium system.

The DS sales thread is the long standing one, but more people check out the Wii one, so I keep them both updated. The last couple of weeks I tried to make them atleast look different, but this week I have failed.
Post by: Khushrenada on February 02, 2007, 08:45:15 AM
I guess the purpose of this thread now is to watch the DS beat the Game Boy Advance numbers and surpass the PS2. Once it's done that, I guess we could probably lay it to rest.
Is this the biggest thread on the NWR forums though? I think so but am not sure. But it should be preserved for that fact also.

And lets hope it will finally catch up to PSP in sales... considering it's been outselling DS for over 2 months now."

This is true, I'm pretty sure the 360 has one of the highest attach rates for consoles in general. Then again, factor in its total WW sales and i'm not sure it breaks 10 mil. Either way, the 360 is selling pretty well, i wish i had comparative stats between the 360 and the original PHAT box.
Also, everyone says the psp software sales blow, but the hardware is pushing fairly well in the US, that means the software sales can't suck as bad as we think.
Post by: couchmonkey on February 06, 2007, 07:51:51 AM
PSP game sales...I figure they're not as bad as some people make them out to be either, but at the same time, there's no denying that GTA is pretty much the only big "hit" the system has. Nothing else ever seems to hit the charts. I think a lot of casual gamers are buying PSP and as such, they buy one or two games and don't feel the need for much else. They're buying it for its multimedia functions and the fashion.

Like they were with hardware shortages...which incidentally, they still have not upped the production enough to meet demand. I was amazed to see 8 DSL's sitting on a shelf at Super Walmart yesterday. I only noticed because someone was buying one with NSMB.

NSMB is 100k away from outselling Super Mario Land and becoming the best selling handheld Mario ever, and the second-best selling Super Mario game ever (in Japan).
I really want to find that chart though, cause the biggest selling Mario game was represented by the largest Mario icon and the smallest has the tiniest Mario icon, all listed in order from smalles to biggest. I was a nice chart.

Of course not, but I'm sure he doens't mind if I borrow his charts, I think they were very nice and he would want as many people to see the product all of his time & effort as possible. Besides I was trying to make the DS Sales thread not so redundant. No need to for two identical threads, Pacman charts are for dress up, in the DS thread.

Maybe they have to choose between plastic for more DSs or slighty more plastic towards more Wiis.
It could also be that Nintendo wanted to feed the HUGE the demand in Europe since they just started their drought.

Wow @ the debut of the Professor Layton game. I saw the preview a few weeks ago and wasn't sure what to make of it. Its also good to see that the Top 5 games this week are all 3rd party regardless of what platform its for.
It also looks like Brain Age 2 is about to be the next 4 million seller(currently @ 3,991,966). I'm not sure how many that makes, but I know it joined the likes of:
Pokemon: D&P, NSMB, Animal Crossing & Nintendogs
Did Brain Age 1 break 4 million?
The DS is inches away from surpassing its older brother the GBA and closing in on that 5+ million unit lead that the PS2 has. If sales keep up, I think the DS will surpass the PS2 before Sept. is over.

Seriously, though, I think PSP has decent potential as a secondary market, just like GameCube, and Capcom seems to have found a way to exploit that market. Wii may actually unconsciously help PSP, because a lot of developers seem to view Wii/PSP/PS2 as a good multi-platform group.
PSP is never going to beat DS, but it could still be a viable platform.
Post by: hudsonhawk on March 01, 2007, 04:54:37 AM
On an off note, I just got a PSP and I think it gets a bum rap. It's certainly no DS, and there are definitely a lot of inexplicable design decisions that went into it, but if you can get passed its drawbacks there's definitely fun to be had. Especially since I never had a PS2, I don't mind the port-tastic library as much as most people. It's nice to be able to catch up on games I missed while I'm on the train everyday.

Anyway, what would really be intresting is to see how bad the PS3 really fairs. Alot of people have said that if PS3 does bad enough, PSP will get the Axe. I say, If the PS3 does bad enough, the PSP is going to end up being Sony's crutch.

Gundam Musou(PS3) nearly sold all 150k first shipment, next shipment is on next week.
Super Robot War W should sold all 250k shipment during weekend, next shipment is the end of March :/ !!??
Also, MHP2, SimCity DS and Layton are still selling. The latter 2 are in shortage. Layton will restock in weekend and SimCity needs to wait 2 weeks....
This cartridge shortage thing is getting a little out of control. Either Nintendo needs to find more plastic, open another cartidge factory, out-source some of the workload and/or 3rd parties and retailers need to place much larger orders for these games Consumers need to learn how to pre-order so that the correct amount of games are ordered and none of this 2-4weeks to restock non-sense.
If I had just released a game that had sold much faster than expected, I would be pissed if Nintendo told me I had to wait 4WEEKS to get more stock in stores. I could've just missed my window to sell more games and profit enough to expand my developments. 4 weeks later my game could have been forgotten about or lost in the shuffle of NEW games being released. I hope they work this out before DQIX is released.

If PS3 keeps doing poorly...I don't know. I think cutting the generation short by popping out a new console would be a definite possibility, but it depends on how stubborn Sony is about winning the Blu-ray war. Maybe they'll continue to support PS2 more vigorously than expected or maybe they'll try to put out a brand new "third pillar" console with no Blu-ray? And probably some more motion sensing stuff.

It would shock me if after manufacturing 25 million of them that they'd still be taking a loss on the PSP. Their losses will gradually subside on the PS3 as well.

I don't think thats called designing a consoles well, its just called designing a console. Hardware gets cheaper to manufacture over time and it has been true for every system.

Not true at all. Every recent console that wasn't by Nintendo or Sony has sold at a loss for its lifetime. The Saturn, Dreamcast, and Xbox - all sold at a loss for their entire lifetimes.
Nintendo's different because they always sell at a profit from day one. Maybe it isn't designing a console well, but it's at least understanding manufacturing really well. Of course, Sony's vertically integrated so they have an advantage over everyone else in that regard.

Super Robot Wars take the #1 spot. That manes it must have sold more than 180k in its firs week cause thats what Gundam Musou has been reported to have sold.
Professor Layton is still in the Top 5!!! and NSMB is back!? what a surprise.
Also nice to see Nintendo manages to produce more DQMJ to be sold, I expect this one to be a multi-million seller at some point in its life.

Does that mean Professor Layton is a system seller? I'll be interested to see if other DS perennials enjoyed a surge as well.

That would be partly correct. One of the main characters in the new Fire Emblem was a kid named Sothe you could recruit from in the first Gamecube game. When you stumble upon him, he says he is looking for someone, which from the videos I've seen looks to be the young girl. So, same world, but it looks to happen a few years later. Hopefully some of the other characters will make a return too, here's hoping for Nephenee!

Things are NOT looking good for PS3 in the [strike]home[/strike]Nintendoland.
Maybe those rumors of a price drop near the end of summer will come true.
Hopefully for Sony's sake a certain Japanese developer is wrong, and the price is the issue and not the fact that the PS3 is ginormous in comparison to the Wii (he also said the price and size of the 360 wasn't the problem, but the size of the power brick is). Apparently Japanese people are very space constrained and don't have alot of room for oversized electronics.

I think it's just Ninty realizing that Pokemon will sell no matter WHEN it's sold...

Bad News:
Quendan 2 is not listed this week
- could be due to no restock though, it did sell 90% of its shipment last weekNBA Homecourt (PS3) sold about the same a Madden did in Japan (<500 copies, ~350 maybe?)
And it seems to be relatively slow week for software too.
Good News:
PS3 has seen an increase in sales from last week, but has just missed the 10k mark.

The idea being that it's the original SMB made with the knowledge of future games.

I was just picking through the old data to get some things settled and ran across this. Sort of reminds me of another system now. Which is doing better then its precessor ironically enough. Though I do have to say they probably won't have a non-gamer revolution on there hands.

As at the end of Q1 2007, Nintendo DS had an installed base of 38 million across the PAL region, Japan and the US compared with 20 million for Sony PSP. Nintendo has confirmed to Screen Digest that the global installed base as at the end of May 2007 is in excess of 41m. Screen Digest forecast no substantive change in respective hardware buy rates and believe that at the end of 2011, Nintendo DS will have an installed base of 112 million and PSP, 67 million.
The DS may be able to hit that target, but I don't believe that the PSP will hit 67 million. Sales are dead in Japan, solid-but-definitely-not-=spectacular in the US, and behind the DS once again in Europe. I think the PSP will have the same problem that the XBox 360 has (exclusively appealing to a hardcore segment only) with an additional compounding problem (low games sales...like wow). Maybe more like 45 - 50 million worldwide would be a better number for them?
Also revealed:
Quote
Of DS gamers in Europe 54% are female (compared with 40% for PSP).
...
In addition GameVision research also reveals that 52% of European DS owners are 14 years old and under (compared with 28% for PSP), the youngest profile of any platform, demonstrating the importance of pricing a handheld such that parents are not deterred from purchasing on behalf of their offspring.

Zelda Phantom Hourglass
DS Lite (Gloss Silver) - 75k

Plus the regular shipment of DS' of around 150k

DS sales seem really really low compared to the supposed shipment #'s, and the same can be said with the the Zelda sales #'s too. I expected DS to sell more than 250k this week and Zelda was reported to have done more than 350k in its first 2 days.

(that was sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell)
But seriously, maybe the DS completely sold out?

With Ninja Gaiden and Folks Soul hitting the top 20 in rapid succession, can the revival of PS3 be far off?
Those Zelda numbers are still pretty decent, I think...
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 28, 2007, 08:23:28 AM
p.s. PH was released on a Saturday.
Folks Soul will continue to drop like new albums from 2Pac and NGS will be off the charts by next week. There will be veirtually no change in PS3 hardware sales this week or next, and everyone will be waiting to see if Everybody Golf 5(or whatever its called) manages to make a blip on the PS3 radar.

And it looks like PH is off to a good start! I read somewhere that PH actually didn't sell out first day, but over several days, as if casual and non-gamers were trickling in after the hardcore gamers had front-loaded first day sales.

Thats surprisingly untrue a lot of the time. Anyway I had it linked to a variety of sources when I first wrote the thing which covered it will be everyone said it was too busy.
Did the PS3 get a Japanese price cut as well?
Also Swords is posed to give Phantom Hourglass some company.

Most people that track the sales usually go by MC, and use Famitsu as a backup/alternative source.
Either way, you just have to pick one source and go by thier #'s to keep things consistent.
Thats why SalesBot post Famitsu in the DS sales thread and MC in the Wii sales thread.

Anyways, I don't think I could drink Dr. Pepper. I've tried it an Mr. Pibb, and neither are very tasty. I guess I'd go through a can if I new I'd win something valuable. I'd just need some kind of thing that lets you see through things.

tired of Zelda games yet Pokemon can remain relatively unchanged for 10 years and it still sells like crazy.

Yep, the movies are still one of the largest, domestic, box office draws in the country. In fact, the Mew and Lucario flick was the #1 domestic film in the country the year it was released.

I mean, I'm as perturbed by this as you are... until I remember that Zelda: TP didn't break a million in Japan either, nor did Sunshine. I think that in many ways, Nintendo's key franchises of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid are actually all more associated to the Western market than the Japanese one.

I've seen Sony fanboys (specifically the "zomg peecee" troll on Slashdot) use that spin back when the PS2 was still outselling everything except the Wii.

From what I've heard, you can walk in most stores in Japan and probably find a Wii. Some stores may be out of stock, but you should not have any trouble finding one if you really wanted one.

Sells over 200,000 last week, whilst Wii passes Xbox 360’s UK installed base
It seems that the only thing pegging back Nintendo’s remarkable sales achievements at the moment is its ability to get hardware on the High Street – but that hasn’t stopped the DS Lite smashing the UK weekly hardware sales record that it had set only the week before.
Last week Nintendo’s handheld sold 212,584 units – a fair chunk more than the previous weeks sales record of 191,104, according to sales data from UK stats body ChartTrack.
Until now the PS2 had been the long-standing record holder, following the 184,360 units it sold in Christmas week in 2001.
Nintendo UK's general manager David Yarnton stated: “With its wide appeal and unique software, Nintendo DS continues to expand the gaming audience and continues to appeal to everyone.
"The vast range of software being created for both avid gamers and new gamers of all ages has ensured a wide variety of unique titles are available. With New Touch! Generation title, Sight Training, and more traditional games like The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, we are looking forward to an exciting Christmas season.”
In addition to all of this, Nintendo’s other big success story, the Wii, sold over 100,000 units last week – and its total sales have now surpassed those of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, despite arriving on the market almost a year after Microsoft’s machine.
I wish we had some hardware #'s for Europe in general so we could see where the big 3 stand throughout the entire region.

PSP is friggin destroying gaming as we know it. HOW THE HELL is it selling so much hardware with ONE GAME in the top THIRTY? It outsold Wii which has 6 games in the top 10. Makes me SICK!

I took the liberty of fixing your post for you.
And you are probably right. This means that the PSP sales will gradually taper off once everyone who wishes to upgrade has done so. The revision has certainly given a boost to hardware sales, but the PSP game sales remain just as weak as ever.

Don't forget that the Red PSP Slim also has a bundle pack that comes with the 1-Seg TV tuner so that you can watch TV on the go. Not that that is the reason to why they are selling, but another reason to probably pick one up.

The only possibilities are that they either use it to pirate stuff, or they just put it on a shelf and let it collect dust. I guess a third possibility is that they are using it for the UMD movies. I don't really know, but it is possible they are actually successful in Japan unlike in the west. Does anyone have any sales figures on UMD movies in Japan? I realize they wouldn't be included in the game charts.
Or maybe they just wear it on a chain around their neck and show it off like it is bling....

DS has about a million games in the top 30, even Wii has heaps, PSP has basically no games there ever, yet it sells like this? I flat out do NOT believe it. If this is the case then PSP is the worst thing to EVER happen to the videogame industry. Sony has to be paying off someone to make up these numbers, or even further paying people to buy PSPs in a scheme to get Monster Hunter 3 to be ported to PSP. I do not believe the piracy numbers are THAT high, and that so many people are willing to invest so much in that ugly piece of crap just to play NES games. Lowlifes buying it to watch porn on is a possibility, but aren't there a million cell phones that can do that too? Could PSP be $5 there? This is the most dodgy thing i've ever seen. 3 in 4 new PSP owners are buying NO games with it. Can ANYONE explain it? We have to get to the bottom of this

I wouldn't underestimate the piracy element. Also, doesn't Japan have some TV adapter, phone adapter, and a GPS thing for the PSP? Maybe people are buying it for those reasons, and to surf the net. Maybe even type up business reports and do spreadsheets on it too. *shrug*
I guess another possibility is that Sony is buying its inventory back and reshipping it so that it inflates the numbers and makes the PSP look like a successful system, when actually it isn't. Or maybe they are just reporting shipments instead of sales figures again... *shrug*
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 17, 2008, 03:30:46 PM
Also don't forget that all the PSP Phat owners are also upgrading to the PSP Slim so that they can use the TV-Out option.
TV-tuner, GPS, phone adapter, Piracy, etc etc. have already been mentioned, but I can't think of any other excuses.
Maybe Sony is having some sort of mail-in rebate where you buy one PSP Slim and get on for FREE.

Well DS can do most of that stuff too, and there was a DS redesign as well but it still sells lots of games. The used game market is an interesting point I never thought of and could explain it.
Post by: Chozo Ghost on January 17, 2008, 04:51:47 PM
I think BlackNMild is right... people are still upgrading their PSP Phats. But if that's the explanation, why are they bothering to upgrade and still not buy games? Something is definitely fishy here, and given Sony's past dishonesty I wouldn't be surprised if they've been fudging the numbers up somehow.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 17, 2008, 06:01:10 PM
With your now upgraded PSP Slim you can now display all of that on your Big Screen TV for all to see.
Why would you need to buy games?
You probably already have them all on your mem-sticks along with all our other media that you care to use your PSP for.

Another reason why we shouldn't underestimate piracy, is because it is extremely widespread. Almost everyone who has ever touched a computer has pirated something at one time or another, even if it was just an MP3. So its not like this would be limited to just a handful of computer geeks living in their parent's basement. Even grandma and grandpa know how to pirate these days.

But I'm sure NSMB will get another Big boost from the next big game that draws people into the stores.
(Japan is playing SSBB as we speak, maybe a few DS's were picked up along with NSMB... or maybe not)

Were you able to check out what's new in games in Japan?
I found some PlayStation 3 titles in Japan that I'm looking forward to. The Thousand Day War looked really good. They also had a lot of interesting Nintendo DS stuff, which made me want to use my DS more. In Japan, if you have a PSP, it's more than just a gaming device. You can download all of this stuff. In America, you don't have that. And in Japan you have so many mobile applications that we don't have here.

This confirms the DS was just a fad, and that people in Japan have finally realized the touch screen was just a gimmick. Took them 4 years, but better late than never, I suppose.

Whoever makes the Monster Hunter games should put them out on the DS instead. If they can manage to sell 2 million on that system, then they might manage 20 million on the DS.
Problem is that would require actually making a new game rather than just porting over a PS2 title.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/kingvudu/DS_Sales.png)
Nintendo would have sold only half of the number of units. That's a bit eye-opening. Granted, the increase in sales can't be entirely attributed to the DSL, but it certainly helped.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 12, 2009, 11:28:48 PM
PSP is beating the DSL+DSi combined right now & has been for the last 2-3 weeks.
What is the cause for the drop? saturation of the japanese market?
PSP & PS3 are out selling Nintendo DS & Wii right now, collectively & individually.
Why do you think that is?
If I remember right though, PS2 has 145-148million sold.
Do you really think DS will last another 2 years at the current sales rate to actually beat that before it gets phased out by the DS successor?
Post by: NWR_pap64 on March 13, 2009, 05:03:30 AM
So there's nothing to worry about. Hell, the real competition is between Wii and PS3 and they are still ahead of Sony.

Speaking at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, Iwata claimed that the DSi had sold evenly across both regions; 300,000 units in the US, 300,000 in Europe, all during the handheld’s launch weekend.[/b]
Joining Iwata at the Correspondents' Club was Mr Miyamoto, who spoke again of plans to turn the DSL and DSi into useful tools for school teachers. The handhelds will be used to conduct customised tests for pupils, he claimed.
Miyamoto also wants the DS to provide local maps, tour guidance, virtual coupons and other such tools. "Convenience in life will be enhanced by having a DS," Miyamoto said.
Nintendo really is after a different market than Sony & MS. They wanted the living room & Nintendo wants your whole LIFE. Who would of thought that Sony wasn't aiming high enough?

Are you sure that list is accurate? I thought DQ V outsold DQ IV by quite a bit. Also, where's FF IV? I thought that sold like gang-busters in Japan?
According to Square Enix themselves, they have sold 610K copies of Final Fantasy IV in Japan as of December 31, 2008 and a total of 1.08 million worldwide.
The Dragon Quest V number is a off by a little, it's at 1,228,014 in Japan and Dragon Quest IV is at 1.19 million. Famitsu numbers are usually off (either a little higher or a little lower). Media Create is more reliable, Famitsu is only used because they release data for more games.

Really? I could have sworn I read that DQ V outsold DQ IV by a considerable margin (like, 2:1) in Japan. Oh well, guess I was wrong.
