There is definitely a chance of the PSP winning the JPYear to date if the Sept-Dec quarter are as strong as it seems to be, and DS' lineup as so-so as it is. It'll definitely win that title in the US (As it already has, handily) and I think it may muster a good 500K at least for the holidays in Europe. Damn, the PSP is awesome.

And even i am moderately surprised
lets say 4months x 4 weeks sales left = 16 sales weeks until end of year
they are about 1.7 million behind.
So , for Sony to win YTDate , they'd need Nintendo to not sell anohter single DS and post >100,000 unit sales a week every single week.
*rubs chin*
Nope - i don't see it.
AH! sorry - i'm retarded... you mean this year only.
okay, they need to get 400k ahead.
That still means they need to top DS sales by 25k a week.
It's still a tall order.

It took more than six months for the DS to make it's near-400k lead this year. You think the PSP will overtake that in less than 4 months?
Christmas looks to be like a banner time for the DS this year, and there's no sign of it's hardware steam dying, especially with no new releases so far.

Well, it's certainly possible. In the last 16 weeks DS has outsold PSP by 396,681, and it's not even the (non-Easter) holidays. Things will just have to... totally flip again. Maybe if Animal Crossing and Mario Kart get moved to PSP?DCharlie said:
I don't think PSP will catch up the DS this year in terms of YTD sales.
You can say that DS's lineup between now and Christmas is so so, but hey, don't forget we ain't heard anything yet from Nintendo with their December lineup, which is usually pretty good.
If Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing DS, and New Super Mario Bros all manage to be released before end of the year, then... DS sales numberes will go wonder, and sky's the limit.
Plus, all those pokemon games that are coming out between now and end of the year... some might not be interested to us, but to kids...
And I am looking forward to Mysterious Dungeon featuring Pokemon too, which should be a hit.

With 7 titles in the chart, PSP is slowly coming back. It hasn´t had that many charting games since the second week in May.
DS software sales are strong as usual. Both new and old games are ranked high.

Having a brand new game at #5 and the next highest ranking game at #20 isn't exactly comeback material for the PSP. It's more of a natural reordering of things after Nintendo had a bump from JSS et al. At some point the PSP may improve its software sales, but you won't have to look so hard to see it when it happens.

Hmm? The first Bleach sold 35 or 36k in its first week, so that's a quite big drop.

Not that bad for PSP, compared to the last weeks.

Aehm what? DS has Gyukaiten Saiban(however it is spelled ^^), Mario Kart,
Animal Crossing, Pokemon games(although the big one of course will come out in 2006 ^^), Super Monkey Ball and... yeah obviously Mushiking(plus a bunch of others).
The PSP has a FF VII movie, WE9, the white PSP and what else? If there aren't at least two or three REALLY big games released for PSP this year then I see no reason why DS shouldn't continue to outsell the PSP by atleast 1.5 to 1 till the end of the year.
