The latest Japanese console sales figures for the end of November seem to demonstrate some very healthy sales for Nintendo, as well as an embarassment for Sony with the PSP Go now slipping below even the Xbox 360’s dismal sales…
DSi 37,500
DSi LL 68,300
DSL 7,100
Wii 46,400
PS3 45,300
PSP 36,300
PSP Go 3,700
X360 4,100
PS2 2,000
The combined DS sales are nearly 3 times those of the PSP, not a huge surprise considering the cold reaction to the PSP Go and the unexpectedly warm response to the DSi LL.
The PS3 does however appear to still be holding its own against the Wii (actually outselling by a fair margin in terms of revenues, as the units are more expensive). Just what happens with the release of Final Fantasy XIII is the key question…

...and I just bought 3 used PSP.
rofl
then that mean somebody out there bought 9 used NDS?!?!
Nintendo sold plenty more than sony.
DS FTW!!!!
enjoy your collection of inferior hardware.
Oh come now! you cant compare the 2 so stop saying such crap
Well, Mirai Nikki is coming out for the PSP, so I for one have no regrets about my choice of portable hardware.
DS is not inferior to PSP.. They both have there ups and downs. DS is just preferred. Bitch.
Let me guess,
one for daily use, one for spare, and one for promotion ?
No.All to mod and sell :/
who is that in the picture?
It's Yuzu from Shin Megami Tensai Devil Survivor for the DS, pretty fun game
I loved that game... I have both psp/ds
LOL NO U IDORT
Hard as all hell, but it's proof that SMT can be done pretty damn well on the DS
Felt like there was artificial lengthening though, which bothered me and the controls kinda stiff.
how does a strategy RPG have stiff controls o-O
lol stiff rpg controls, just a noob trying to sound pro
I think he means unusual RPG for something looking so similar to tRPG. No terrain advantage or overall tactics, just get in there and start killing.
It was sort of odd b/c I'm so used to FFT
FFT tactics was just needlessly difficult
the PS1 game would trick you into saving before a hard boss, so that you'd get stuck on it, and couldn't train
and the GBA and DS games had that annoying judge bullshit
I prefer sRPGs like Fire Emblem, Disgaea, etc.
at least Fire Emblem's difficulty isn't based on some weird game mechanic or padding
Haha~ Don't you just love how she has one of her arms pushed against her boob?
Really? I thought it was Cooking Mama.
I see some boob fail in the illustration.
Still, it's giving me an urge to buy a THIRD DS.
Next time try hovering your mouse on the image, Artefact names his files with descriptions...
Nintendo, You did it again!!!!
<_<
tssk I cant believe the Wii is still selling like hotcakes.. wtf ppl must be blind or some crap..
there are practically NO worthwhile games anymore for Wii these days, then WHY the F do ppl still buy that garbage of a console?
1.Its more cheaper
2.Japanese people love kawaii characters of the Wii
3.Nintendo have Mario
o.O
Quite a few hotel establishments are also putting their money on the Wii. I don't really see thee rational behind it but, probability its due to the games they offer.
Wii is ideal for the casual gamer. I have all 3 consoles and the wii is the least touched by me and my flatmates, however its probably the most used by our friends/guests.
dang, this tanaka guy is gewd, i reckon he could draw super mario and it'd give me a boner.
yuzu from Shin Megami Tensei:Devil Survivor
i want more fanarts of her~
saw some around, but it's rare
it's still unbelievable how many people still consider the DS not a true platform for RPGs when it's been having some of the best in recent memory...
that's a real WTF
But why ? PSP is much better than Game Boy DS and also have more option to add games in it ... hmm maybe bcuz of Pokémon
yeah..that Pokemon obsession just never seems to stop, even though it's just the same old crap over and over, and over..
play Red and Blue then try playing Heart Gold or Soul Silver
I hadn't played since Gold Silver
it was a mindfuck... there's so much shit you can do
it's crazy, there's no way all that content is for kids lol
They should make a 18+ version of Pokemon... With gore and such. =D
there's always SMT for us 'mature' gamers lol
Love Plus.
Everybody wants a girl that can't say no, even as you propose to them.
And then shut them up whenever you want with a flick of the switch.
+1
love plus FTW
meh, I believe all lonely otaku will buy DS only for Love Plus...
And who could blame them...when women/girls in Japan are either gold diggers with unrealistic expectation,wives that like husbands' money more than the husbands or otaku obsessed with BL only...
"And then shut them up whenever you want with a flick of the switch."
Believe it or not they would ACTUALLY be angry at you next time you return if you do that lol
Proper shutdown (or saying goodbye) is vital for Love Plus XD
The developers really put alot of thought in this one!
HAHAHA what?? They actually do that??
I would so play this game just for the sake of seeing how well the programmers/designers managed to emulate real girls.
(Btw, there's always the option of turning the volume to minimum, or mashing "A" to skip their dialogue, hehe.)
For all we know, doing all these might also piss the virtual girl off.
depends, people hack both
and you get pretty much the same experience from that
but if you're buying it legit, the DS games are just better...
I can name a few good PSP games.. but most are remakes, or spin-offs
what the PSP lacks is it's own personality, or at least a library of diverse games
Poor PSP
All hail Nintendo!!
Damn that's a good pic of Yuzu. Too bad all she does in the game is whine and her ending is the worst one.
Not only that, she has the worst movement in the game also. Only other person to match her's is Amane, but she's much sexier than Yuzu anyways, so that makes up for it.
probably if game producers can freely choose which console to put their games on, psp will be more popular in japan... that, or sony didn't make the mistake of making newer versions of their handhold to decrement in quality... psp1000 ftw ^^
