I guess things are gonna go well in Japan.

Wow another useless poll....

 

[soundwave05]

The thing is these pre-retail polls really mean nothing in the long run. GameCube also fared favorably compared to the PS2 in similar polls.

Not to say the DS will perform as poorly as the GCN has in Japan, but just to point out that this really means nothing.

In the end, I think we're not going to have a clear picture of really whats happening until about next spring, because the initial DS and PSP shipments should sell out quickly just due to the launch period.

Once both companies settle down into the market, get adequete supply, and the second wave of more polished software titles start coming out, then I think we're going to see either the DS or the PSP start to pull ahead.

Nintendo's all-new DS system appears to be in strong favor with the retail community in Japan. A survey conducted by weekly game publication Famitsu reveals that retailers are more excited about the DS than they are the PSP and, surprisingly, even Dragon Quest VIII.

I stopped reading after that.

of course, another baseless poll. What would retailers know about consumer demand?

 

[king zell]

regardless of this poll the DS will be a huge success in Japan

 

[seismologist]

damn, where did all the usual trolls go?

I post this and they all scatter like cockroaches.

Jump Super Stars and Pokemon already guarantee the DS as a sucess in Japan. Let's see how it does over here.
