Quote:Again, I have my doubts. DS had a terribly slow start, the game library is small and shallow, and the PSP pretty much has already matched it in two weeks. Until developers really start to do something with the touch-screen concept, DS is going to lag behind, and Sony is never in the habit of allowing anyone to play catch-up. If the DS is going to win this competition, they need to attack now while they're still on mostly-even ground. Once the PSP starts boasting sales that are double and triple what DS has, it's too late.
The DS is not off to a slow start. Worldwide, it has exceeded Nintendo's expectations... yes, the software isn't the greatest, but it seems to be selling based on concept more than current game quality. Which is interesting. But anyway, the DS isn't doing badly at all... quite the opposite...
Yes, the PSP is also doing well, but it's not like the DS is getting blown away. It's got a sizable overall units-sold lead and, even if the PSP does slowly wear it down, obviously it's not doing that every week... both consoles have advantages and disadvantages and the sales reflect that.
