Havn't Animal Crossing games sold very well all along? Not this freakish level of success, but it is still sold well if I remember correctly. I know in the US it sold over 1,000,000 units.
Sure, Nintendo can mess it up, but the way Nintendo has been making games for the last 6-12 months, I doubt it. They will probably improve on every aspect of the game.

The DS owns Japan.

Lets see. Contact and Xenosaga should be good enough to keep it above 100k next week. Then the week after that has nothing. So I think that it goes back under 100k that week, but probably pops back up above for a while when Starfi 4, Tetris, and more Training games come out. Then goes back up to super high levels during the launch for New Super Mario Bros.
PSP still selling over 100k+ a month in Japan, it seems as if people dont understand that PSP doesnt have to beat DS to be deemed as a succes in Japan.
It is their first handheld, im shocked its doing this well to begin with. All they wanted to do is build a solid fanbase, and they have clearly done that, even in their weakest terriitory that is Japan.
Thie time 2 years ago it was Nintendo 99-100% of the handheld market in Japan, now its Nintendo 68%- Sony 32%.
If thats not good news for Sony, i dont know what is.

I know it looks like the DS is killing the PSP if you compare weekly sales, but if you compare PSP monthly sales with DS's weekly sales, it doesn't seem that impressive, does it? Only a matter of time before Nintendo throws in the towel.

Very true comment even if you are just patranizing me.
This week DS outsold PSP 6:1 practically, see 2006 yearly sales and tha ratio is 2:1. See since launch for both systems and the ratio is a bit more than 2:1.
You have to give PSP credit for not completely dropping off the cliff when the DS Lite was announced, be it the fact that the DSLite had shortages or the fact that PSP has been getting a flood of games (of course, the former is more likely), its sales are still up around what they were before DS Lite, actually up a bit.
PSP isnt going away anytime soon, no matter how badly DS "dominates" it in Japan.

ONE CANNOT DIVIDE BY ZERO!
PSP is a video game machine, why? Playstation Portable.
DS is nothing but a fancy doohicky. Notice they dropped any reference to Game for it in the name? (Despite their last consoles being the GameBoy Advance and GameCube.)
Sony is the real winner in the handheld games markets.
You cannot argue with the facts. Although -- in comparason -- Nintendo is killing their competition (the psuedo PDA market).

Animal Crossing made its debut on the N64 and sold decently. It was then ported to the GameCube with added features and new items and sold better. This was when it was first introduced to the American market.
Animal Crossing DS is the frist truly new AC since the original on the N64 and it sold even better.
Of course I was joking, what I said was purely absurd. But I felt that someone from the PSP damage control centre would say it sooner or later.
I didn't think it was laugh out funny, though. Hence no smiley. edit: And that a smiley would detract from the post. I wanted it to be read seriously, but with a 'fuck off. there's not way he is serious' vibe.

Yup that Monster Kingdom sure did become a killer app for PSP like many people expected. Oh wait...
Seriously though, nearly everyone of the big PSP games that came out all flopped sales wise. So I don't think it was the flood of good games that caused it to sell so well during the DS Lite shortages. It was most likely the DS Lite shortages causing the sales spike.

Actually, it's held true for a while that when the handhelds [PSP/DS] receive a spike in sales, it raises the competing level as well.
Probably could derive an equation out of that. PSP sales spikes are directly proportional to the constant k times the sales spike of the DS.
If the DS sales spike is denoted as = x and PSP's as F then
F = kx
lol.
Anyways, absolutely astounding sales for DS, Nintendo really has hit a gold mine with it. ALso very good sales for PSP. Less than 3 months and it's sold over half a million units. That's pretty good.

It's only good news and a success if it paid off their investment. I always say that it's not as if there can only be one successful handheld (and in the US, there are at least 2), but what if the amount of money Sony invested in the PSP can only turn a profit if they secure 50% of the Japanese handheld market? (Obviously, I'm not saying that's the case.) Then, 30% is pretty bad news. There are other numbers at play here.Monorojo said:

Here's what happens if PSP software doesn't improve:
PSP software drops
PSP hardware drops
PSP media drops
Third parties support it less

And on and on until it's an Xbox situation.
