Wow! What a great marketing strategy by sony. "Lets just promote the psp to everyone whos already got a ps2 and forget about all the other console owners"

Well, that's anything up to 100m people, so it wouldn't be the worst idea to only target existing customers...Comment

I've no time for the DS/PSP Jpn sales figure baiting myself, but I'm intrigued about the overall GBA sales. I bet if that unknown figure[??]was known it would still have the lions share of the handheld market. The others have caught up and at the rate they were going that was obvious, but overall, and with all incarnations added together including SP and the Original. I'd still bet it would be a huge figure of sales - all told. Shame its unknown really, and I'm shocked to see 25 original still sold in the last period. There's still Yggdra Union to come aswell. Which easily makes it have the best selection of SRPGs out of any of the handhelds. Its a die-hard and good luck to it.Last edited by AdamJW; 29-05-2006, 11:41.Comment

Well it seems that every time the subject of sales are brought up regarding the PSP & DS (That the DS seems to be outselling the PSP) people here seem to enjoy that, which is good & a brillant peice of kit, but then say that the PSP may as well stop being sold as it wont win the handheld war.
Very few people said that during the Dreamcast's demise or the Gamecube pathetic sales, but as it's Sony people seem to enjoy to get their blades out.
Deserved? Maybe. Childish? Without doubt.Comment

I think the software sales are much more important, although I understand the DS is selling a lot more games in Japan.
Hardware sales alone can be misleading. I have bought a PSP, a DS and a DS Lite, and if everyone did that the DS would have a 2-1 advantage. But I have bought loads more games for the PSP, as well as films and accessories, so I am sure that Sony has made more profit than Nintendo out of me in the current handheld market (if you exclude GBA)Comment

You're right Sony's swagger does tend to get peoples backs up a bit.Originally posted by Mr Fujisawa
I have to admit though I've got no time for owners of either Handheld baiting each other though. Its an exercise in futility.Last edited by AdamJW; 29-05-2006, 11:50.Comment

Great post but not a single fanboy it's aimed at will pay any attention to it as they all wear rose tinted specs. I agree that sony arrogance does get people's backs up though.Originally posted by master chiefComment

Was having a look throught a book on games machines from what i could gather just because a machine does not sell as well as the top seller does not mean its a failure.
From what i could gather the 3d0 and jaguar were official failures they only sold a maximum of 1 million
But the dreamcast sold (i think if my memory serves me correctly) roughly 30 million which in my opinion was a success.
I do see alot of people wanting sony to fail i think its perhaps to show sony they should not be so complacent (they could do with a shock to wake them up i think)
I do wonder if these same people at the time of the n64 and psone were hoping sony the underdogs at the time would amaze us all and that nintendo would failComment

I remember back on these very boards when the ds first came out, people on here mercilessly slagged it off, most without even playing it. Every other post was either gimmicky this or kiddy that (i call these the gamefaqs years)
Things then got worse when the psp was finally released & these new owners proclaimed nintendo doomed with their gimmicky crap handheld. Apparently sony could do no wrong & was hailed as the next coming.
Now zoom forward to now & well look at that nintendo is still around & looks like the ds is still selling.
Its the arrogance of some of the people on here that pissed me off more than sony ever did. Oh how i remember band brothers coming out & how people just slagged it off, the only time these people had even seen it was on some very poor quality video yet they went ahead anyway proclaiming that if it had been on psp it would have had a full orchestral soundtrack instead ofthe ****ty midis that the ds verison uses.
Anyway rant over (^_^)Comment
