DS 146,250 (+5%)
PSP 96,750 (+187%)
Wii 76,250 (+15%)
PS3 20,250 (-5%)
PS2 17,750 (-3%)
360 5,250 (-5%)
GBA 1,750 (0%)
GC 500 (0%)

The top game was Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for PSP selling 755,500 copies in its first week. If PSP was dead like alot of the fanboys here say then Capcom just brought it back to life.

Neither can anything else though. The DS is just a machine that never slows down.

I'd say it's doing rather well for having no games and a $600 price.

   The PSP's sales have somewhat improved. In my opinion, this is because it recently started having better games released for it. I had no interest in the PSP at first, but games like Dracula X Chronicles and Power Stone Collection are starting to tempt me.

yea thats really good. I wonder how close the sales would be if the psp and ds were closer priced. Some people love to talk crap about the psp, yet its a 100 bucks more then the ds and its still selling well.  I wonder how well the ds would sell if it was priced at 200? Yea exactly......

Yeah, the Gamecube beat the PS2 and Xbox in sales because it was the cheapest console.  The DS is the same way; it's outselling the PSP because it's the cheapest.

Oh, wait.

I honestly dont know either but it outsold every DS game combined last week. Thats pretty impressive in Japan. This game could definately be called a system seller.

Price does have some effect, though not as much as some PSP fanboys say. The GCN wouldn't have received as many sales as it did if it wasn't the cheapest I think..there really wasn't any reason to buy it aside from Nintendo titles and a handful of third-party games. Let me just say it now though..I CALLED IT!!! Told you all they loved Monster Hunter over there. ;)

Exactly, I don't get these comments either.  Here's the thing, the DS doesn't cost $200.  Why even bring that up?  The fact that it's $100 more is a srtike against the psp, not the DS.

Yeah, I know.  Price doesn't make a significant effect, though, unless the price differences are huge.  Contrary to Bren128's belief, the DS isn't outselling the PSP because of price.

Don't change the subject. PS3 is going to be second in Japan. :lol: And we all know why the 360 isn't selling good in Japan even though it has more Japanese games than the PS3 does.

My god all i've heard from this thread is "DS is still doing better!" This is very impressive for the PSP especially since the Japanese right now were infatuated with the DS. The DS will still be the king of portable systems but its good to see the PSP picking up some steam up there. And I hope developers are taking notes, they can learn alot from this game and Capcom.

Wow, DS owners must love the fact that their system sells like hotcakes. It gives them the right to downplay any good news made by any other system because nothing including Wii, PS3, PSP, or anything else is going to be able to outsell the DS for a long time. We might as well stop selling everything else because nothing is going to beat the DS in sales so what is the point?

That's what happens when you get a really popular game released on your system. Kinda like what happened with the DS when Pokemon was released, or what'll happen with the DS again when Dragon Quest IX is released. Good job Capcom selling your game.
I had no interest in the PSP at first, but games like Dracula X Chronicles and Power Stone Collection are starting to tempt me.Bubble_Man
NO. Just a friendly warning, the game is not worth it, espeically if you have the Dreamcast versions. The load times kill the game. The gameplay is kinda unspectacular 7 years afterwards, but when it takes almost twice as long to load a game as it takes to finish the battle, it kinda kills the fun, unless you get your jollies by looking at loading screens.

Please, you would've probably done the same if the PSP was outselling the DS.

I fixed that for you. The Wii has a whole lot of work to do to even be considered in the same league as the DS.
