Ruzbeh Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 What are you guys talking about? This deal is a good idea. I can go to McDonalds, have a coke and play some Mario Kart DS for free. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well done indy for quoting me out of context *ironic clap* If you've bothered to read what I posted you would realise I was protesting over the hypocracy of one of the world's leading corporation. It just sickens me that McDonalds can get away scot free by literally saying: "Hey! Come eat our healthy, salt ridden chicken salads! While you're there, have another! Because your gonna stay and get fat playing on your DS at our place!" I'm a strong ideographic and free-will believer but there's always one person who doesn't know what's best for them. Then there's the person who'll exploit ignorance for their own wealth making typical massive lawsuit on the matter. Yes I realise my hope is folorn and of course the world couldn't work this way, however, I still stand by my opinion of it being ridiculous and sickingly wrong. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruzbeh Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I got a sales update for ya, for the people interested. These are the most recent numbers, as of September 2005 (including sold units in all of September). Sales of DS and PSP in the United States. DS - 2,240,895 PSP - 2,028,530 In the coming weeks and months will see some great releases for both DS and PSP, and a historic moment for Nintendo as they release the first online game ever on the Nintendo DS on the 14th of November. GTA:LCS for the PSP is also a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2g2003 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Sorry guys, but sales mean squat. Its well known that the first game console (or in this case handheld) that makes it to the market first usually wins the sales battle, since it is out first and no one person wants to wait. Its happened with PS2. And it'll probably happen with the XBox 360. And if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong), but didn't the DS beat the PSP out onto the market? I don't follow handhelds that much anymore (I've outgrown them). I don't know why people constantly always look at the sales for answers... when the answer couldn't be more clear. The above reason is why I read up on Specs instead of looking at the actual sale numbers. A handheld/console can easily be better, but have less sales. XBox was better then PS2, yet PS2 STILL has more units sold then XBox (if I recall correctly). I don't even own a XBox and I'll at least fess up to that. Its all about winning the race to the market. My prediction this year: XBox360 will beat PS3 out on market (thats a given), but PS3 will be better. Just watch and see. R.I.P Shiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, seeing as it's not released till next year! :lol: You're very right though, a lot of the sales figures are just overall sales. It would be interesting to see the slaes of both consoles since the release of the PSP, the same for the PS3 compared to the XBox360 (Oh and the uh...other one) This is how much you all raised for charity.

Antrune Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Well, I have both the PSP and the DS. When I got the DS I got wario ware and super mario ds. Super Mario was one of the best games ive played in a long time, I throughly enjoyed it and got about 125 stars :P I would probably buy a ds just for that game :oops: Wario ware wasnt too bad, kept me amused on holiday. I got my PSP about 10 days ago with tony hawks underground 2 and burnout :revenge. Im finding both games good, with excellent graphics but Super Mario DS is superior just purely for the amazing gameplay. I purchased a 1GB card from play.com which arrived a week ago so I tested out the PSP's media capabilities. I found it was very easy to convert and watch videos on the PSP with very good qaulity intact. MP3s have very good quality although the earphones dont provide loud enough sound, but with Ipod or any other earphones the problem is solved. All in All the DS is definetly worth getting for Super Mario DS imo whereas the PSPs games are good but I find the media capabilities superior. The UMD Movies have GREAT quality and the picture quality is amazing. And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trapical Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 People say sales mean squat but basic economics states that developers would much rather invest in a system that a larger audiance then a system that doesnt sell as well.

I thought that the DS would be getting pasted in sales, but it looks like Nintendogs, Pokemon Emerald, and Advance Wars have done the trick.

I bet your one of those people who buys a DS, and then buys some movie-cash in platformer, plays it for a week, realise it is crap, then comes to the conclusion that the console is rubbish. Also, PSP isn't better just because it plays movies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
