I still don't understand why the Japanese love that puppy training software. Unless it is a fad that dies it will continue to separate Japanese gamers interest and the rest of the world.

I mean....c'mon. That stuff will NEVER sell over here.

yeah

 

[underfooter]

yeah

Cute, loving puppies are another story.

Why are PSP/DS LTDs never the same from everyone?

One would have said the same about Winning Eleven. It may have shown up (I do not know or remember), but not only are PSP games largely less popular than their siblings on other systems, but it's coming up against the DS Lite.

It's a PS2 Gundam game.

Oh.

Maybe then.

I remember someone who said that by the end of 2005, the PSP would outsell the DS.

 

[cvxfreak]

Nintendo seriously need to restock. Quick.

brain-learning software can still be kind of a game, but now DS English Training? Give me a break...

Why doesn't Nintendo just ship one last 600,000 shipment of DS hardware to Japan? They'll hold up until May.

Supply problems. Nintendo is trying to get as many DS out there. But they're having issues getting them from China + the Chinese New Year complicating things.

DS in Japan = Xbox 360 in America.

As many as Sony can produce.

IAWTP 100%

It's the only correct answer. Although, this is NOT to say that you will NEVER see them on shelves. It's just that they won't last long on the shelves without constant replenishment. Also, stores will presumably stock up closer to the holidays so they may not be that hard to find in August or September, but then the holiday sales will eat up whatever inventory might be out there and then some.

:lol :lol :lol seems like they were talking about the DS

I'll bet it outsells the DS 3:1 Christmas 2005, at LEAST.

Sony: Actually, I'm betting the DS has marginally better software support because it takes a much smaller budget to develop for and has a very simple hardware configuration with a common processor. The "oh, devs want to try something new" is just producer/director level rhetoric; in the end, it's all about the bottom line, and, well, it doesn't get more bottom line than the DS hardware.

 

[A Link to the Past]

What?????

There are some idiots about...

By the end of 2005:

PSP

2.5m Japan
4.0m USA
2.5m PAL

9.0m total

DS
4.0m Japan
7.0m USA
2.5m PAL

13.5m total


You just wait and see...

:lol This one is pretty spot on, only off by a small number.

 

[Jonnyram]

I do believe Monster Hunter is officially the biggest selling PSP game in Japan now. Good job Capcom. I wonder if any of that success will transfer over to Monster Hunter 2 on the PS2.

 

[Raw64life]

Yea, Broshnat came closer than anybody. Speaking of which...

http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=31068

The PSP will sell more than 10 million units worldwide by Dec 2005. If that doesn't happen, you can ban me for all of Jan 2006.

If the PSP sells more than 10 million by December 2005 you can ban me for a month

...one of them had to be wrong. IIRC it was pretty close. I'm not quite up to date on GAF drama, was a sentence ever passed on this?

 

[A Link to the Past]

I believe the PSP sold more than 9 million, but less than 10 million.

Imagine an original release.

I think Capcom ought to try a DS installment if it's possible. Maybe it's in the Animal Crossing corner where it's portableness totally outshines its console presence.

:lol so many people owned there... that's why I never predict.

 

[VOOK]

I have question... Nintendo are shipping what 500k DS Lites to Japan for the launch? Can we expect 500k on the weekly sales?

 

[cvxfreak]

Perhaps. I'm expecting something like 400K myself.

 

[Great Rumbler]

At the very least, it'll probably be over 300k. But I wouldn't be surprised if the initial shipment got completely sold out.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

I predict 468k.

With all the hype for the Lite, the tangible improvements made to the hardware, and all of the pent up demand (especially now with Chinese New Year bringing DS to a grinding halt), there is no way they won't blow away their shipment.

Nintendo wouldn't be aiming to have 1 million on shelves in March if they didn't think they could sell them.

 

[A Link to the Past]

1 million DS Lites sold in March.

 

[Error]

as many as Nintendo can produce

 

[A Link to the Past]

:lol :lol

 

[AndoCalrissian]

1 million DS Lites sold in March.

That would be fucking insane.

 

[Akia]

Careful there. Your going to be the butt of many jokes a year from now.

 

[Beowvlf]

These lists would be far more interesting week after week if the budget priced edutainment was omitted, especially since to GAF the Top 10 is all that matters.

 

[A Link to the Past]

That would be fucking insane.

Insane like a fox much?

People are paying $180 for a used DS. It sold >100,000 the week after the DS Lite announcement. The DS Lite will sell out its shipments, easily.

 

[Archie]

Because the games that you want to be at the top would be there GO SONY

He's actually making a reference to something said in a previous topic about the PSP.

You make it sound like everyone else does it like this. :lol Maybe it's just that you want to see less DS games on the top ten list, you horrible person?!

 

[cvxfreak]

I'm going to stop posting top 100 charts then. Because GAF only cares about the top 10.

[cvxfreak]

Hell no. It's not GAF's problem that Heian-kyo's a damn PSP-fanboy/DS-troll/both who's playing the tired "non-game" angle to somehow explain why the DS is owning his portable of choice. He made things very clear for me when he posted fake Canadian NPD numbers.

Maybe I'll just spoiler tag them because we all love him.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

If the next few weeks are anything like this, it's just possible that PSP could overtake DS for 2006 before the Lite arrives.

DS shortages FTL. That's easily it's lowest selling week ever.

Yeah, it's something like half of its previous low. Also lower than any PSP week yet. I believe this also the first time since Easter that it's not the first or second best selling hardware.

Why doesn't Nintendo just ship one last 600,000 shipment of DS hardware to Japan?

The same reason I don't, though to a lesser degree.

 

[Akia]

I know. He's making the same mistake. For all we know the PSP can rebound back.

Why are PSP/DS LTDs never the same from everyone?

Because people don't know how to use a spreadsheet? Leonsito's DS number is correct, he's 20 too high on this year's PSP total though.

OK, just for Heian-kyo

1. (3) DS Animal Crossing DS
2. (4) PS2 Siren 2
3. (7) PS2 Tourist Trophy
4. (8) PSP Monster Hunter Portable
5. (9) PS2 Shin Onimusha
6. (10) DS Mario Kart DS

8. (12) DS Eyeshield 21
9. (13) PS2 Winning Eleven 9 Bonus Pack
10. (14) PS2 Nobunaga's Ambition

Is that better?

Fuzzy['s spreadsheet] is always right.

Why aren't you translating 11-30?

 

[underfooter]

I doubt Brain Training will be a hit here. Unless it gets stark-raving reviews and non-gaming publication press (like Nintendogs did) I just don't see it being a hit here. If you all-american kid sees Brain Training, he is just going to laugh.


Can someone throw a pic of the boxart up?
