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…

If the ps3 is trying its hardest to outsell the wii, with FFXIII on its side and STILL loses in terms of revenue, then i fear for it in long terms...
OFC its only the japanese sales data and its true market is the US and europe market but even so...
just wonder what will happens when FF comes to X360...
just buy both portables and be happy
just buy 2 DS LL units and you'll be much happier
Buying 3 XBox will make you all smiles
wait, I think he means buying one after another, since the first two died!
does that make the smile a fake one then?
then 2 die
then your sad..
Until all 3 RROD.
Great. Now I'm sure there won't be no NDS2 next year, but we can expect another version of the old NDSL
So that's why sony psp have few games in new releases than the nintendo ds this month. unlike in psx & saturn war in late 90s sony got more than 3 times new games or exclusive games than sega. now sony you stink!
Woohoo! Devil Survivor!

ds doesn´t need super graphics to show his power!!!
Ha! And my friends used to give me grief for choosing a DS over a PSP.
PS: They all own a DS nowadays.
About the only console by Nintendo I'm enjoying at the moment.
more sales to dsi because ppl with fat hands smashing their touch screen =P hehe jokes
"Just what happens with the release of Final Fantasy XIII is the key question…"
world goes boom.
the thread picture makes me sad that there isn't alot of good cooking mama hentai available.
Iv'e got a DS but i can't really find any games that suit me, i think it's more of a female console considering the games like fashion botique and cooking mama. But it is a really good handhelp 10x better than pspGo.
DSi I get...
but what the fuck is DSi L and DSi LL?!?
DSL (not DSiL...) is "DS Lite". DSi LL is the new, bigger DSi (presumably meaning "large-large", since the English name is XL).
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 ^^
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.
people are still buying ps2's. it is far from dead as far as i'm concerned.
I suspect those people buy them to replace their literally "dead" consoles. It's a cheaper alternative than to repurchase all the games on PSN for PS3(which is paradoxically NOT backward compatible). Way to rip people off, $ony!
Man, i can undersand that psp go isn't selling well, but can't understand how well nintendo is selling their consoles, they have not good games at all, psp is been lacking good games lately, but the old ones are still awesome
"they have not good games at all"
Your comment is obviously based upon excluding the Japanese game titles.
is just mean fat people outnumber human.
no, one reason is because lots of school buy ds for every pupil for "studying", and of cause the population of otaku is on the rise.
Nintendo DS does have some rather good RPGs on it though. That might help. And strategy RPG does play kinda well with a stylus.
Now if only they make a RTS game for the DS too. I want to direct my infantry, tanks, artillery, navy and air force with my stylus!
Is it just me...or does it say the 360 sold less than the PSP..? That's....that's really sad.
Look harder, and read the article.
Hehehe guilty of contributing to sales of both. Just got both a PSP-3000 and DSL this year.
All hail Nintendo!!
Poor PSP
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
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
dang, this tanaka guy is gewd, i reckon he could draw super mario and it'd give me a boner.
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.
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.
who is that in the picture?
It's Yuzu from Shin Megami Tensai Devil Survivor for the DS, pretty fun game
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.
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
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
lol stiff rpg controls, just a noob trying to sound pro
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
