I can´t believe the DS lite is on top.... It certainly is popular with women, but I don´t see it as a male´s console... I guess the DS is like a female version of the PSP

I wonder if the Xbox 360 sales will increase now there is no shortage of the (new shipment in sept), or will it continue as normal.

That´s a good point actually.. could people not order one though?? So sales would still have gone through...

Why is the Xbox sooooo far behind everything else?? Not long ago everyone was saying how much better the xbox was compared with all other consoles!!

Xbox brand has never sold well in japan, but Tales of Vesperia has been a huge boots for the xbox and there are a few more RPGs that will boost it too, but will that lead to a general increase of xbox sales, or just temporally boost sales only when the rpgs are released.

Hey, you're name says DCEMU Newbie, not retard. I don't recall any console being either a man's or a woman's.

How is he a retard? He's simply stating an opinion, which is neither right or wrong.
