4. Gentle Brain Training
5. Touhoku University's Future Technology Collaborative Research Centre's Professor Ryuuta Kawashima presents: DS Brain Training for Adults
According to Dengeki hardware sales fell 11.1% this week. If all systems fell that would put the DS up at over 90K. If on the other hand the DS took the entire fall that would put it around 80K. Next week is gonna be crazy too with 5 new DS games including Castlevania, Lost in Blue, Lunar Genesis, Puzzle Bobble and Kyouryuu Grand Prix. In fact with 17 new releases all told there'll be a major change in the charts.

Brain Training is going to outsell Nintendogs in the long run I think. Thursday is going to be big for the DS. I can see the DS selling another 60k with all those games coming out. None of them are extremely popular. But all of them are decent sellers.
I actually have Gentle Brain Training, and while it is provides some quick and simple minigames, I don't think people will be missing out if it never comes out in the USA/Europe.
There are plenty of better games out there for the DS. I think it's selling solely on their low price. I'd rather have a Mario Picross DS.
If people want to petition for a Japanese game to come out in the west, ask for Ouendan and Jump Super Stars instead. Please.

Yeah. I picked up the second one and while it was fun for 30 minutes and I don't feel ripped off because of it's low $20 price tag...I found it utterly boring after a day. Never touched it again. I think the appeal is that it's dirt cheap and easy for non-gamers to play.

PSP actually went down 2000 sales. It had it's highest spot in over 2 months. I think this was caused by a Gundam game being released.
Those are nice sales for the DS. It pretty much is a lock for selling over 3 million by the end of August.
LTD - 2,958,581

I don't get the PSPs poor performance in its homeland. Is it the games? They are getting more games than us. Competing with cellphones? Maybe. But I would think the gadget crazy japan would be all over it. It could be the older demographic is happy with the multimedia and games in their phones and don't want to carry around another (somewhat) bulky device.
I would like to know what demographic is buying up all the DSs?

There are a handful of highly anticipated titles, but not many average (or slightly above average) titles to hold you over until the big games hit..
PSP also seems to have alot more games targeting western tastes, which is why it is doing much better here in the US.
I could be wrong, but it seems like the PSP software situation is looking more and more like the N64 each day.

By the by; an IGN article the other day said that Xbox has "only managed a paltry 2 million units" in Japan. I agree with the language, but I think that number is like four times too high. I didn't even think Microsoft had popped 500,000 yet.
IIRC the 3D fucking O sold more units than the Xbox in Japan.
two things hurting the PSP IMH and unqualified opinion.
Sony is working too hard on making it "mainstream" with split attention to games and movies, and the thing is just fucking expensive. a japanese gamer can have fun for ~$150 plus a ~$40-50 game or they can have fun for ~$250 plus a ~$40-50 game. It's not like PSP games are more FUN than DS games.
Here in america though we are a bunch of graphics whores with loads of disposable cash. one only has to look at sales of some games to realize that. I have come to the belief that Nintendo will never hold first with the DS in the US. The PSP just looks too good next to it and will always sell more because of that, even if the DS has more and better games (IMHO of course). Hell, hasn't untold legends sold more than kirby over here?

As I suspected.
That's 520,000 by the end of 2004, plus the approx. 10,000 so far this year, so their total install base is 530,000, one of which is sitting unused in my apartment here, so really it's 529,999.

Woah, the DS is really a beast in Japan!
That's an important point for the people here that actually think the PSP could overtake the DS before the end of the year.

The PSPs performance isn't that poor. It just seems poor in the face of the DS's AMAZING japanese performance. Its not that the PSP is doing that BADLY, its just that the DS is exceeding people's sales expectations so much that it makes it seem bad.
I sort of agree with this, though in relation to the number of units handheld units typically move I think you could say the PSP's performance is poor. How many GBAs were selling this early in that system's life? How many GBs? I mean GBA was fighting it out with the PS3 during its entire lifespan for the top seller, and now the PSP can't even beat the PS2 at the end of its life cycle?GDJustin said:
Not trying to be doom and gloom here. Moving 20K a week is hardly the bomba.. but compared with how typical (nintendo) handhelds sell early in their lifespans and the handheld market in general, I don't think it can be called a major coup either..

I don't think the sole reason the PSP is outselling the DS in the states is soely because of the graphic whores in all of us, but because the launch titles. There were some excellent titles there that was well received by the media and such. And compared to the DS, during when the PSP had launched, the PSP had the better line-up.
Though now the DS in the states is coming out with a good stream of titles, so you never know. People might laugh at this, but I personally think Mario Kart and Animal Crossing will tremendously help DS sales this Christmas.
And Nintendogs too... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
CVXFREAK said:
Yeah - it might be supply related - but keep in mind that it's already the number 6 selling DS game (in Japan) ever after just 2 weeks:
Wario
Mario
Nintendogs
Brain 1
Brain 2
JSS
(I don't have the exact numbers on those).
It's also sold better than almost every PSP game, aside from Hot Shots Golf and possibly Dynasty Warriors or Ridge Racer (which it should pass both of those after week 3).
I don't think the DS is in a position just yet to have titles sell over half a million in a couple weeks. That would be 1 in every 6 DS owners picking it up right away.

They will indeed, but GTA: LCS will slaughter them all.

The US now has a higher tie ratio than Japan which seemed unbelievable only a few years ago so its a much much more important market. I think that the PSP will continue to have a hold over the DS for the time being but do not expect the DS to collapse. However, I do believe this will all turn round once Diamond and Pearl are released.

That quote makes me love Perrin even more, as if such a thing were scientifically possible.human5892 said:
SCEA (and SCEI) still have to focus attention on trying to bring publishers (games and movies) into the fold. I have a hard time believing at THIS point that you have movie publishers (aside from recent blockbusters) saying let's release that to UMD. Especially season sets and whatnot. I imagine the Sony Computing arms are working with movie publishers to get UMD movies. That is what I was referring to. I would hope they are putting more effeort into getting publishers to make games, but it really looks the other way around.kaching said:
