I like the psp but this info looks kinda misleading.wether we like it or not the PSP isn't selling as well as retailers would like it to.

DS is selling more because its cheaper, and PSP is still selling, not as much as the DS, but for a system thats selling that amount for what it costs, is actually surprising

Nintendo is getting more money on handhelds.
Also can you tell me the best seller PSP game? Wipeout pure, right? Only more than 1 million copies worldwide (LOL). Total PSP game copies sold: 47+ millions world wide (LOL)
For the DS, there are games like new super mario bros, nintendogs and brain age selling more than 8 millions copies worldwide. Total DS game copies sold: 154+ millions worldwide.

LOL @ S0NY's®™ Spin Machine!!
In a World where the GBA-SP trounced the PS3™.
Only SCEA™ could come up with some stupid Sh*t like this...

Oh well I get back to enjoying my XBOX360™ and perhaps consider droping some Cash on the DS Lite.™
For all there 'Kiddy' Crap that People ~like me~ used to berate Nintendo™ over, I'd have to admit that Nintendo™ would seem to have a better understanding of what it is I want.
i.e. Games, and not another "Media Player", this is why I already shelled out €300.00(EUR), on an iPod™ for, it does what it said on the Tin, and I do not expect any more from it...

i agree that ds has totally ripped psp apart. where are the sales figures? in the pspfanboy webmaster's wet dreams! you can't compare the psp to things like the 360 and ps1 either. ps1 came out well over a decade ago and the 360 is at least £100 more than a psp, PLUS they are both home consoles.

lets see:

Monster Hunter 2 Portable just in japan sold over a million

GTA LCS sold over a million

if you say "oh but it only sold 47+ million game units, and ds sold 154+ million", big deal, for a system like PSP which sold 25+ million units its quite surprising, and unlike DS, PSP is mostly used for pirated material, cough iso cough which is why the umd sales arent high.

well if u dont have a ds and have a psp, if u want to complain about PSP, and say DS is all high and mighty and PSP is dead and all bantering, might as well go to Nintendo.com where they may care:rolleyes:

Pirates aren't gamers. Plus you are wrong. PSX/PS2 piracy was bigger but the original games were totally successful on sales.

you never considered the PSP is probably one the most easy systems to exploit

it it would be impossible to hack or "pirate" umd images unlike the DS where you have to buy where you have to buy a bunch of stuff for it the sales would most likely be way higher

also the US is one of the biggest gaming markets in the world, because the jap people perfer the kiddy DS where as the US perfers the more mature PSP has a lot to do with it
