And if Sony succeeds it's largely going to be because of Nintendo's failure. The DS has potential, but so far Nintendo has yet to prove that it's a must-have system. None of their games really take advantage of the hardware, and very few third-party games use the touch screen for anything more than a stupid map.
Quote:Anyway, I'd hardly call this a GRAND ACOMPLISHMENT. The PSP outsold the DS by about 25,000 units in one week. If you're keeping count the DS's total lead is still about 1 million in Japan. If in the coming weeks, the PSP sells more and DS sells less, then you'll have a point.Keep in mind that there have been PSP shortages since launch, so this IS a pretty damn big accomplishment.

With you guys though... it's especially fun to rub it in. Especially you, ABF, since you can NEVER admit when you are wrong, even when everyone knows that you are, including yourself.
Also I agree with Ryan here. Nintendo failed to innovate with the Gamecube, instead giving us failed gimmicks that offered nothing but headaches for us gamers. The E-Reader, connectivity. Those were Nintendo's two big innovations this gen, and they both failed miserably. And their software... as much as I love my GC games... were mostly updates to N64 ones. Very few original titles. There's what, Pikmin? Great two games, but not enough.
And the DS... it's a cool system with a ton of potential (I'd do anything to develop for it... more than any other system, in fact), but what has Nintendo delivered so far? An ancient N64 port with lackluster controls. ... YAY! There are a few games that use the system's features well, but none of them are killer-apps. None of them are games that people are going to go "Woah I need to get a DS!". THAT is what Nintendo needs, and by the time they deliver such a game it may be too late. The PSP might be all that gamers want.
The Revolution better deliver, and it better be insane. It better make people realize that they have to have one because the games look so awesomely unique. Otherwise... this may very well be the end of Nintendo as a console manufacturer.
