The DS is a total beast. The PSP is too dead for words.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Not bad. The DS is an Army Tank.

 

[Topdawg]

yeah but the psp is more expensive.

 

[Axid]

And crappy

 

[Topdawg]

^ LoL yeah.

 

[Axid]

Glad you agreed with me.

 

[Topdawg]

^yeah..and people thought i was a sony fanboy.lol

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Either that, or you prefer the PS3 to the Xbox360 for the worst reasons imaginable, going as far as to overlook every single game released for the system in favor of... Killzone 2... *shutters*

If the ps3 comes out and is crappier than 360, i will admit.

until then i prefer the ps3.

It's not dead at all.

 

[Axid]

Use the background I made you

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's not dead at all.

It's certainly not very alive

Gamecube's numbers are pathetic. The GBA had more titles and it's successor is already out.

 

[Obi-Wan Kipobe]

Wow. For some reason I didn't connect that the DS and the Lite had seperate numbers. That's phenominal.

 

[xwolverine2]

what did psp earn?

 

[Zenien]

It's certainly not very alive

And to what do you base that? The only place that it isn't competitive to or slightly edging out the DS is Japan, and even there it sells well enough to be viable at like 100 dollars more per unit.

It lost the edge it had on the DS. Losing UMD support also didn't help.

 

[Zenien]

Even if it lost it's edge that wouldn't make it dead. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but aside from Japan, the PSP is not a distant second, at worst it's strongly competitive.

Even the DS keeps up the sales rate of what NSMB did for it, it still wouldn't make the PSP dead, or barely alive.

As for UMD movies, 'losing' them wouldn't hurt too much if apparently they weren't selling well enough overall to warrant being there.

Of course there have been healthy PSP UMD sales for some movies, it's just a niche market with specific tastes, not a teriary market for any movie.

 

[Topdawg]

Zenien you sig ROCKs!

 

[Brainiac 8]

If there is one thing Nintendo has going for them, it's that there will be that noone will be able to dethrone their handheld market.

The DS just rocks, and has Nintendo's unmatched first party development going for it.

 

[XwolverineX]

The PSP rocks more.

 

[Axid]

Because it's a rock

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The PSP rocks more.

No it doesn't. It's horrible as a handheld gaming system.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Because it's a rock

A big black rock, with useless little pebbles around it called UMDs.

 

[XwolverineX]

No it doesn't. It's horrible as a handheld gaming system.

Do you have one? Lemme answer that for you, no you don't. Don't judge something you have never even experienced.
