PS3 is slowly catching up to Wii....

:|

Gh0st_Of_0nyx


Wii only outsold it by 4000 in January NPD

But never the less it outsold the ps3. The psp is never catching up to the DS sony lost the handheld war when nintendo released nintendogs and brain age.

PS3 lost the console war when nintendo released WiiSports... and that was on day 1.

i guess it of opinion, becuas egames like nintendogs and brain age dont appeal to me, being in high school, im ttying to get away from learningwhen i play video games, not do math for fun. hwat is fun is fighting the nazis in WWII or stopping a soviet invation, or preventing kane from taking over the world.

lets see, DS + ipod video = cell phone = around $500, psp = $250

having it all on 1 thing, priceless.

SF_KiLLaMaN

80 Gb Ipod + DS = about $380 and much better games, music, and movies

I have my PSP collecting dust in anticipation of GoW and maybe Crisis Core (doubtful). After that... back to the DS.

that was a nice post with alot of valid points, but remember, we are stating opinions, mabey thats not why the ds is selling more, but thats what I think is goin on. ands yes, the ds sucks outside, but how often do you play video game soutside anyways?? y not just do something funner like play football or basketball. i have never incountered a time where i played video games outside for fun.SF_KiLLaMaN

I always prefer a physical and engaging activity over playing videogames outside. I tried to use my PSP outside was during times like while walking to school, or going for a drive in the car, times when your options for entertainment are kind of limited, but the fact that natural light completely blacks out the screen gets rid of some of the PSP's practical usage.

Psp is great but to even think it will get close the DS is nuts, hell the DS has sold almost as many in japan as the PSP has sold in the world... Obviously its an exageration but its not too much of one. THe Ds is at like 60 million and growing at alike 15 million a year, no way psp can match that sorry. Do psps sell for more than retail on ebay, cause dsl's still often do for some stupid reason.

Mediocre games + mediocre video + mediocre audio + mediocre phone = PSP

PSP = overpriced and underwhelming

The PSP, it does so many things almost well

Wtf? How are the video and audio mediocre? It's all relative considering how big your memory stick is and what bitrate the song was ripped at. It can also play videos at the same res or higher than an iPod. Do you have any clue what you're talking about?

PSP doesn't really outsell the DS that often, and when it does it outsells it by like 1000-10,000 units. DS has like 30 million more units sold than the PSP.

Just give it up. PSP is awesome, but it just doesn't appeal to as big of an audience as the DS. That's really the bottom line. Just becuase it doesn't sell as much doesn't make it any "less awesome". It's market for sales is smaller.

PSP is decent, but seriously, there is no way they are going to catch up to 30 million, and it's been years already, and DS kills PSP every year. I think it's time to stop this crazy reality that PSP will outsell DS this year.

I own and i love my PSP, and i have no interest on the DS, but i'm sorry to say you are wrong. DS has graphics close to N64, so, much better than GBA.

yeah, its only got a good 40 million more to catch up

good luck with that cows :lol: :lol:

yeah, MAYBE the PSP might catch up with the DS' weekly sales for a week or two......but its delusional to think the PSP's sales totals will match the DS' totals

cows, lets try to be realistic for once....just accept your last place position in the handheld market and call it a day

Only way PSP is going to catch up to the DS is if not a single DS was sold for the rest of the year, even then, I don't think the PSP would be able to catch up in just one year. Still, got to give Sony credit for not giving up.

But "so do these" and "something else" imply that there is more than one thing being talked about. By saying this, you are acknowledging that my point is true and that more things need to die as well.

PSP is barely catching up, and it's already so far behind. After March, the DS will be back on track with a far stronger lineup. PSP will never come close.GamerForca

GoW:Chains of Olympus? That game is going to be badass no doubt about it. Beats anything the DS can do.

So you're agreeing that the PSP does have games? If so, I think I might have misinterpreted your original post. When you said "you forgot 1 thing: games", I assumed you were bashing the PSP. But I see now that you were just commenting on his post. Sorry for my confusion.

xflamedemonx

if we look at montly game sales we see that psp games don't sell. ppl aren't getting psp's for gaming. they are getting it to play media.

[QUOTE="EVOLV3"]How much has both handheld sold?BreakingPoint8
The DS is at around 67 million while the PSP is at around 31 million.

i think the PSP is a great little handheld, but i don't think it will ever catch the Nintendo juggernaut.
