Support NeoGAF

[mumu]

Why is GAF being infiltrated with the REIROM shit? I think guy who said the people who bought a DS but no games bought it to play their GBA games on it was right.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Why are people saying this isn't impressive? These are the first day sales, on a workday, with lousy weather.

 

[Kseutron]

Bcuz nintendo is teh d00m3d

u can't fight it

 

[TheGreenGiant]

I don't think it would be a big seller. With their weak launch line up it won't help either. I think the DS was a mistake. They should have focused on having the next generation of gameboy ready to roll. My understanding is that this is some sort of offshoot of the family I don't see the point of diluting their development process for a stopgap system. Only an opinion of course.

I'll like to know your opninion on the US lineup then. Considering it sold double... Also. the JPN launch had less consoles out; less DSs = less sales

... on the way back from the drink up, i found myself in CC purchasing it...

*hides face in shame*

I've not taken it out of the box

:lol

Isn't it a bit early for trolling and damage control? Can't we at least wait until after the first couple of weeks of the new year?

 

[DCharlie]

indeed - alternatively lets start the PSP bomb thread now!

even if they get their 200k units out and sell every single one of them then obviously it's bombed under GAFOTS logic

Which is retarded.

This is just the warm up. The real fun starts in 10 days.

 

[drohne]

sony plans to ship 500k psp units this year, right? i bet they overtake the ds by year's end.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

GA is going to fricken ROCK in 10 days. I'm definitely staying tuned.

In Japan only? Because the DS has already sold 500k units in the USA.

Yes. I want to see pics of the street brawls for the last launch PSPs. The fanboy battles I could do without.

 

[Sriram]

I think the initial shipment for psp will be 200k. Im not sure about for the rest of the month though.

 

[adam20]

You sure are making quite the gamble with those numbers!

What's with this Amir0x fanboy business? He generally does like the DS from what I can tell. He owns one and was loving Mario.

i guess it doesn't take much to satisfy simple minded gamers

 

[AniHawk]

On December 2nd 300,000 will be shipped in Japan.
There will be a repeat shipment every week.
There will be 1 million shipped by the end of the year.

Sold 76% of the first shipment. That's almost a sell-out. Should be something like 250k or 270k for the first few days in next MC.

 

[DCharlie]

"I think the initial shipment for psp will be 200k"

a couple of rumours floating around that they won't ship that number. But we shall see.

We'll know all the answers to all the PSP questions in 8 days ...


*drool*

 

[Sriram]

Oh man, theres going to be so many dissapointed people here when they cant get their psps because theyre sold out.
Didnt lik-sang or play-asia say that they were having a hard time getting even 10% of the amount of psps pre-ordered.

 

[akascream]

How much did the virtual boy sell again?

You will enjoy this game even if you don't. Pikachu has possessed you.

 

[Broshnat]

These numbers are good. Mario and Sawaru will do another 35k tomorrow, and another 80k+ over the weekend. 180-200k first week for both titles isn't out of the question. Neither is 300k for the system, and around 100k for a couple of the other games.

And this isn't impressive?!!

 

[jett]

I guess we'll have to wait for weekly numbers. That attach rate is ridiculously low, though.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Why are people saying this isn't impressive? These are the first day sales, on a workday, with lousy weather.

It was just cold, you wussies!

 

[LowTecky]

I wonder what the attach rates in America are, since it even comes with a game..

 

[GDGF]

I thought these were numbers for the week the way some of you guys were responding :lol


230,000 for one day is pretty fantastic.
