No it was the Lite. All the way up to and including May 2006 PSP was beating DS on a monthly basis and slowly but surely cutting into the lead. Nintendogs, Brain Age and NSMB were all released and still PSP was on a course to catch up.
DS Lite came out, sold something like 600k it's launch month and the system has not been sub 200k since i believe. It's quite obvious DS Lite saved Nintendo in America.
But let's get back on topic, this is a Japanese thread. Sorry.
EDIT - Went a bit extreme.

I didn't do it. I disavow all responsibility for the analysis.
Hmm, maybe I'll have to automate it!

Actually, I thought the upswing started when New Super Mario Bros. was released, which was incidentally just a few weeks before the release of the DS Lite in the US.
So it could really go either way, but you'd have to look at hardware data for those months to infer anything. And in any case, it would just be an educated guess. But I wouldn't exactly say that the DS was even remotely in the same position the PS3 is in currently. But that's just opinion at that point.

Anyone else think Big Brain Academy Wii won't sell nearly as well as it did on handhelds ala Pokemon.

It's true, we don't know how well Big Brain Academy Wii and Super Paper Mario will do. I think they will do very well and prove that the successful properties from the DS can be carried over to the Wii. If they do poorly it will be a significant warning to everyone watching the Japanese market.

Is that your website by any chance?
How did you find it?
I think it might just sell better. No competition from alternate brain games, less competition from other games period, and the great multiplayer may be an easier sell when only one system is needed.My Chemical Mouse said:
Of course, that last aspect is a bit of a double-edged sword as well, since it'd be less likely that one household would own two copies of BBA, but the others seem to hold.

Is panther coming back soon?
I thought he was permabanned. I have never taken up the torch for another poster before, but Panther did a lot of good around here. He did go a little off the deep end, but hell, who hasnt around here? It's crazy times we be livin' in.Xisiqomelir said:Is panther coming back soon?

Anyone have a link that shows when he got banned? I never saw what he did to get banned.
As I was looking at these latest hardware numbers, this question occured to me: Why is the 360 selling as much as it is?
It's sort of been taken for granted for a little while now that it's holding steady. Seems like it should be dwindly farther down at this point (after the Xbox 1 pattern, unless I'm wrong on that). Is it because of Blue Dragon, after all? Or, what?

I'm not going to speak for Donny but you are extrapolating a lot of stuff that he did not say. The rebranding of the DS has been an important part of its success and he was just using that as an example for how Sony could salvage the PS3 trainwreck. He didn't say anything about the DSL "saving the DS", so that's just a silly.Great Rumbler said:
I don't think that he was saying that "PS3 sales are ok" either, just that Sony could potentially find a way to rebound.

Rebranding helped make an okay-to-good DS into a even bigger phenomenon, but it's pretty big stretch to say that several years down the road a rebranding could save a PS3 that's struggling to manage more than 15K units a week.
It's bad, real bad. And it doesn't look likes it going to get better anytime soon. See, what the PS3 needs isn't a new name or a slightly different shell, no, what it needs is really good games that are just absolutely huge. MGS4 might come out late this year, although that's not certain, but Metal Gear isn't really that big in Japan to begin with. Secondly, there's FFXIII, but that doesn't come out until sometime NEXT year.
Simply put, if the PS3 has to wait several years to make an attempt at success, that's far too long. If resources start to shift in a big way to the Wii and the Xbox360, it'll take a huge miracle to bring them back.
