In the US, the top 10 PSP games is just a couple of 100k short of the top 10 360 games in terms of overall sales.

You're talking to Sales-Age man.

-The PSP's sales are incredibly frontloaded.
-The PSP had an 8 month headstart on the 360.
-The 360 was in short supply for six months.
-The PSP's userbase was and is far larger than the 360's.
-360 hardware and games cost way, way more.

Therefore, that little tidbit is pathetic.

I still don't see how a couple of 100k less than OMGWTFBBQ awesome sales = lol sales. Good sales are good sales right? Could and maybe should PSP sales be better? Of course. But that doesn't mean they're bad.

Uh. PSP sales ARE bad, sparky. Software hasn't been selling well for the better half of a year now.

looks like Kirby Squeak Squad had sold 80k in its first day and winning eleven DS had sold 30k ..

http://ameblo.jp/sinobi/

Kirby's on track to match The Amazing Mirror, which went on to about 700,000...that's what it says, right? And doesn't it say that 30,000 of the WE and Black DS bundle were sold? Surely that would mean perhaps more of the standalone game sold?

PSP software sales are poor across all territories. Very poor

360 have 23 games that have sold over 200k, PSP have 24. 360 have 44 games that have sold 100k or more, PSP have at least 50. 360 have 11 games that sold 300k or more, PSP have 11. 360 have 10 that sold 400k or more, PSP have 9. 360 have 6 500k+, PSP have 5 Etc etc..

Looks pretty even overall.

Compared to how many consoles have been sold I can agree they're poor, not bad. Just poor. But as overall sales goes they're pretty good at least.

These stats are almost meaningless because of the FIVE THINGS I SAID EARLIER.

The PSP's sales were very frontloaded

The top sellers for the PSP are from around LAST NOVEMBER or EARLIER. That was a year ago.

When people say "PSP SALES ARE BAD," they're referring to the PRESENT DAY.

I KNOW WHAT I'M FREAKIN' TALKING ABOUT

And what about the fact that 3rd party games does much, much better on PSP than on DS? So maybe people should change their tune to "Everything that isn't nintendo does poorly on the handheld market"?

I'm not saying it does (read?). In fact it's far from it. But it's no way near the doom people seem to want it to be.

No kidding. There almost needs to be a sticked topic about third-party sales.

It was what, just 2weeks ago that someone got banned saying the same thing, and someone else just blew that shit out of the water? Who the hell were the two people again?

lmfao, this gets better and better. And people claim its the Nintendo fans who push sales threads into the stratosphere.

mono needs to get his rage out somehow.

The question becomes: is he using proxies, or does he have an army of minions?

If it's the former, then he is one damn desperate fellow and I shudder to think of the latter being a possibility.

Joshua, your figures are off again.
DSL 5,364,012
DS 6,580,365
Total 11,944,377

Therefore, 11.94 million
This is a completely different file, too, so a bad coincidence. It must be a formula off somewhere, because I can see all the dates are listed, and indeed when I sum up the weeks of those two columns I get your total.

OK, sometime in the last few weeks the totaling formula changed from "Last week's total + this week's number" to "Two weeks ago's total + this week's number" Must've botched a Fill Down operation something awful.

Now that that's fixed and DS has gained 400K hardware sales, it's a lot closer to tripling the PSP than before. :lol

bmf said:
GBA in it's incarnations probably came close
I don't have Media Create numbers from GBA's early life so I don't have great totals, but it's not as close as you think. Remember, it never flew off the shelves like DS Lite has done this year, and DS's release less than 4 years after the first model GBA really made the weekly sales hit the brakes. Probably closer to 15 million than 20, split up ~8M GBA, ~6M SP, <1M Micro.

There once was a boy name Mono,
Who said PSP sales were fine-o.
He refused recent trends,
Ignored sales for his ends,
And now he is permanently gone-o.

Oh, please. Being a junior member is no indication of their mental capabilities being subpar.

It's just that people only notice the Junior member tag when a stupid post is made. Much of the ordinary stuff passes without note.
