I know you're just indicating them throwing a big game in the PSP's direction (although I wouldn't put it on par with a new Kingdom Hearts), but I really am not that sure VP will move many systems or sell all that many copies for that matter. It'll do well compared to other PSP titles, but it won't even be in the same ballpark as some of the major DS titles.

anyone has the YTD/LTD numbers for other consoles??

It misses PS2 Media Create sales for 2000 and 2001, and GBA & GC Media Create sales for 2001, for LTD.
Wow @ DS sales. O_O
BTW, how do you guys think DS will manage once PS3 hits the market in spring (assuming it does)? Drop or continue to sell just as well along side it? For all Nintendo's talk about expanding the market it should keep doing well if their plan is succeeding.
I might have to give up and buy a DS next spring if new super mario bros. comes out. Right now I'm waiting for the re-design but there are just too many games out. I already imported Quendan to play it when I do get a DS. -_-

doubtful as much as I love VP I highly doubt the game is going to save the PSP's ass.Culex said:
only way PSP could be save is be having a remake of a DQ or something that big. again this is highly unlikely to happen SE would release the remake on the DS first because of the larger userbase which brings me to some wishful thinking....
I think a remake of DQ6 (only DQ that haven't gotten ported or remade iirc... I could be wrong though) for DS is possible and I'll not be surprised if it happens.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Its ok... no matter what happens, Rare will still make games for 360.GhaleonEB said:Holy damn. The more I see the DS romp all over the technically more powerful "multimedia" player that is the PSP, the more I think lots of folks here are going to get fuck-owned when the Revolution starts doing serious numbers. Including me.

The funniest thing, I think, is that this week's DS lead is greater than the PSP lead of those 10 consecutive weeks combined.Culex said:Sales were simply INSANE for the DS!
Chart updated again
I think you guys are taking this out of context. The psp and ds are not competing against each other, the psp is aimed at gamers 13+ while the ds is aiming for the rest of the possible market.
The same thing will happen with the Rev, it will mainly be a kids and other users console. Not for gamers. You will get the games for you with the 360 and PS3 and others will get games for them on the Rev. It's win win, there is nothing to gloat or be sad about.

Still buying that PR talk, eh?
Whether you, Nintendo, Sony or anyone else want to admit it or not, the DS IS competeting with the PSP. Just like how the Rev WILL be competeting with the PS3 and Xbox360, even though Nintendo says otherwise.

Save PSP? If by saving it you mean beating DS sales that won't happen. When Diamond & Pearl hits the insane DS buying will continue or even rise, when you look at sales of ordinary games for DS the core GBA audience hasn't quite switched to DS yet, when PokeMon hits they'll all be coming in massively.
When weren't they?Azelover said:
I've tried searching this, but it seems that their is no source on what it costs them to make it. Everyone just expects they're losing money on it, because it seems so expensive.
As Engadget says:
"Were sure Sony is losing a few hundred bucks off each unit sold as the PSP easily feels like its worth $400 of gadgetry (when compared to portable video and audio players and the DS)."
Gamespy:
"Sony is surely losing a ton of money on the PSP."
People estimated $400-500+ for US launch. But there never has been any word on what it costs to make.
The internet astounds me sometimes.

Germany NDS 400k, Nintendogs 250k and Mario Kart DS 100k
Sorry, German:
DS-Spiel Nintendogs der Topseller in diesem Jahr
Während der DS Woche für Woche in Japan die Spitzenposition in den Verkaufscharts einnimmt und mittlerweile auch bereits im dritten Monat vor der PlayStation Portable in den USA ist, gibt es jetzt Zahlen aus Deutschland. Insgesamt wurden bislang etwa 400.000 Einheiten abgesetzt, davon allein in den letzten drei Wochen 150.000. Besonders beeindruckend ist der Erfolg von Nintendogs. Ganze 250.000 Käufer konnte das Spiel für sich gewinnen. Das heißt, dass mehr als die Hälfte der DS Besitzer auch Nintendogs ihr Eigen nennen.
Mario Kart DS, der frisch erschienene Hit für das Weihnachtsgeschäft hat ebenfalls bereits jetzt eindrucksvolle Zahlen vorzuweisen. Mit 100.000 abgesetzten Einheiten sind bereits ein Viertel der DS Spieler mit Mario Kart versorgt. Nintendo ist glücklich, mit dem Nintendo DS und dem Game Boy Advance die zwei Spitzenplätze des Handheldmarktes für sich beanspruchen zu können. Auch im europäischen Umland kann der DS Erfolge feiern. In England und Frankreich konnte man sich Positionen vor der PlayStation Portable erkämpfen.
Das GameCube Topspiel zur Zeit, Mario Smash Football, wurde bereits 50.000 Mal an den Mann gebracht.

Quick translation from 01.net In France, according to GFK institute, DS beats PSP 2.5:1 and the DS should be in the hands of 700.000 owners by Christmas. Impressive if true, and I think it actually is: DS is flying off shelves in France, it is by far the hottest product we've seen in a long time. All our magazines are now talking about the DS, I read yesterday a 2 pages article in Le Nouvel Observateur, which usually don't speak about videogames at all.

WOW! This news 100% backs up what I already thought.
As I read this 400,000 news I wanted to say that this sounds nearly impossible as they have announced that they sold 250,000 units just three weeks ago, but obviously it is possible
50,000 per week in Germany for a handheld is just insane imho, GBA's userbase is probably about 3 million (just to put it into perspective).
Mario Kart already at 100,000 is really, really impressive, almost as good as the UK numbers with ~50% of the user base (anecdotal evidence: everybody I know that has ever played a videogame LOVES Mario Kart, so it is probably really popular in Germany).
Btw. Nintendogs stock is most likely very low (bundles and the three editions), a week ago or so I saw a new Lab edition at Ebay going away for ~48 Euro + shipping (~10 Euro + shipping more than you would have to pay in a store).

these charts are HOTCulex said:Sales were simply INSANE for the DS!
Chart updated again
This week saw more milestones hit for the DS, too. It has now sold over 4 million units, just over one year from it's initial launch!
Also, since the launch of Nintendogs, the DS has now outsold the PSP by over one million units.
The thought of working in sales and marketing never really appealed to me - quite on the contrary. And here I am coming back for more sales charts :lol
Looking at the french chart it is as if NoE outplayed sony there.... even though the DS was already on the market it is like it launched AFTER the PSP. Beating them to the not be first to market thing.
