DS blows PSP out of the water in Japan [Finally]

[Weltall]

I don't really think it's so much the brand-name anymore. I think seriously that this time, the DS is going to play second-fiddle merely because right now, it has maybe one or two games that justify the $150 price tag for the machine. Granted, the PSP doesn't really have a killer-app at the moment either, but the DS has had far longer to get one. When the DS came out in November, my store had the hardest time keeping them in stock, but I think a big reason the DS has the numbers it does here is because they released the machine during the shopping season, and the PSP in March, not a big shopping season. However, since Christmas, our DSs sit untouched and unloved. My store has not sold a single machine in close to eight weeks. New DS games come out about once a month, and rarely is there anything worthwhile. The sales trend we're seeing for the DS now, and not the pre-Christmas rush (which is when a large majority of the DS's total sales were made) is what we can come to expect if Nintendo continues to simply not care how well their machines sell, and that's an attitude they've shown for years now. It makes me wonder why they even bother sometimes.
