Yeah, I'm trying hard as possible not to pay attention to what's going on with handhelds at the moment.Firest0rm said:lol, thats not possible theres just around 550k-600k units shipped and Nintendo has said that 500,000 have been sold.

mumu said:It's interesting that almost 2/3 of those sales are for Nintendo.
jedimike said:Yes, but DS will never sell over 500k units in a single month again.
Never say never. The DS could become a hot enough item that it does over 500k again in December. Then a price drop before the PSP hits, a good Black Friday sale for the holiday season next year, etc.jedimike said:Yes, but DS will never sell over 500k units in a single month again.

I think Nintendo = 55-60% market share this Nov
Prine said:MS and Sony dont have 3 hardware units out
Oh here we go with the "but the numbers are much different if you include XYZ..." nonesense. This just in, MS dominates software sales this Christmas if you include Windows XP and Office! And Sony destroys everyone in hardware if you count TVs and stereo equipment!!!!! HOLY SHIT!
ironichaos said:Too bad Windows and Sony Walkmans aren't sold on the same aisles as GBA, GCN, PS2 and Xbox...
Why so high on the GBASP numbers? I would think they would be lower than last year because people might pick up a DS instead.
You must not shop at Best Buy.
AniHawk said:Actually, the DS sold out of its launch shipment, so probably parents went searching for the thing half its price and plays over 1000 games.
I don't know about Xbox > PS2. I think Sony got just enough out for the weekend to hold off MS and the fact that MS doesn't have the slack to pick up the extra demand.sonycowboy said:If there were a million Xboxes in the channel (which I doubt there was), I could easily see Xbox selling over a million in November because of Halo (3.6 million units moves alot of hardware).
That's not bad given:
Xbox Sales
Nov 01 - 722k (launch month)
Nov 02 - 468k
Nov 03 - 490k
That would be 100% increase in sales.
BTW, didn't Microsoft claim a 50% increase in sales over black friday week? That could easily put them at 750k assuming similar jumps (which with Halo 2 launch Nov 9, is certainly likely) for the rest of the month.
Xbox > PS2 (because of PS2 shortages, but also tremendous Xbox growth)
