DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 30th December 2004
Quote:1 Nintendo DS 252,000 221,625 ~ 1,141,400
2 Playstation 2 145,000 112,970 ~ 2,648,532

It's also worth noting that 2 DS games are in the top ten for that week while not a single PSP game made it.

DS vs. PSP - Japan - Dark Jaguar - 30th December 2004
I wonder how that compares to Wonderswan whatever's first sales. That is, the one that came bundled with Final Fantasy.
I would be willing to bet this outsold that though. Can it keep up the pace? Well, actually it just might. It also might just go the way of Wonderswan despite how it had Final Fantasy... STILL too early to tell...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - OB1 - 31st December 2004
The PSP sold out in Japan...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 31st December 2004
And the DS sold several times more. :)

And so did the DS, which is why Nintendo had to step up shipments.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Dark Jaguar - 31st December 2004
Sold out eh? That means any number of people could still want that little thing... Sounds pretty good.
I seem to remember hearing the WSC sold out thanks to Final Fantasy 1... However, I can't find really old sales data to back up that vague memory... Just this.... http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2000/121100a.html
Of course the diff here is the system isn't selling for the sake of one game, it's selling for the sake of NO games but rather the promise of new games to come.

The Wonder Swan color got caned since after the sales of FF 1-2 it had nothing left to compete agaist nintendo Game boy Color pokemon craze and the then coming GBA.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 31st December 2004
Incidentally, I have a Wonderswan Crystal...but no Final Fantasy, unfortunately.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Dark Jaguar - 31st December 2004
Yes I'm aware of that ASM. I am in complete control of this conversation. Insert other indication of jerkery here.
Wonderswan Crystal eh? How did you manage to get ahold of that?
Don't worry about Final Fantasy, 1 and 2 are combined and better on GBA. Better because unlike the Color the GBA actually has decent sound, and also the extra stuff. Unfortunatly, they didn't add in an "original mode", which would have been appreciated, but the game is still pretty good. Actually, the music is FAR better than the GBA deserves :D. I mean, it's like an actual band was playing it, right down to the little "whoops, accidently scraped a guitar string and made that sceeuu sound" thing.

Yes... what that means is that the PSP numbers mean nothing, since there can't be greater sales without more product. Duh.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 1st January 2005
The fact that it is selling well most certainly means something...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - OB1 - 1st January 2005
I'm talking about it not meaning anything negative, Einstein.

The magical power of the Internet.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Dark Jaguar - 1st January 2005
Indeed, but perhaps the better question is WHY did you manage to get that?
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 1st January 2005
Because it was a game system that I didn't have.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 1st January 2005
You can't own every console system ever relased, though...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - OB1 - 2nd January 2005
He can certainly try!

I'm fairly close.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 2nd January 2005
What are you missing? :)
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 2nd January 2005
Most of the systems I don't have are rarely seen ones from the early 80's. I'm still missing some systems from later years like the Turbo Duo, Jag CD, and Atari Lynx. Maybe some day...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - OB1 - 2nd January 2005
It's a good thing you spend your money on worthwhile items.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 2nd January 2005
If the World's Greatest Videogame Collection isn't worthwhile I don't know what is.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - OB1 - 2nd January 2005
...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Dark Jaguar - 2nd January 2005
Fair enough, the unstoppabled game collection is an admirable goal, for our kind anyway. Just don't ever complain to us about being low on cash :D.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 2nd January 2005
Old videogame systems don't cost THAT much.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 2nd January 2005
Neo-Geo? :)
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 2nd January 2005
Ne-Geo Pocket Color, no Neo-Geo, though. Considering how much one would cost me...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 3rd January 2005
Yeah, I thought that that's one you'd be missing. :)
Neo-Geo CD (yeah, it's a different system)? CD-i? And how about all those old systems... Vectrex, ColecoVision, IntelliVision, etc...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 3rd January 2005
Quote:Vectrex, ColecoVision, IntelliVision
I don't have any of those systems, but I do have a 6-switch Atari 2600 with the fake wood panel.
DS vs. PSP - Japan - A Black Falcon - 3rd January 2005
I know someone who had an Intellivision, but I've never seen or used it... or any of the other pre-NES consoles either... well I saw a 2600 once, but it wasn't running so that doesn't matter much...
DS vs. PSP - Japan - Great Rumbler - 3rd January 2005
The one I have works pretty good.
