I know, that's why I said it sucks. It is not even on the minds of gamers.
Stewart Smith
Of course, that would explain why no one is buying the Nintendo DS.
After all, gamers wouldn't think of it because the graphics aren't as
good as the PSP. Nugget.

yeah, and the DS is getting it's arse kicked by the PSP isn't it.

Newsflash - we are not talking about little kiddy portables.

the DS has sold 21million units since launch.
in fact, to quote Steve J from the uk handheld group who provided a
link to these statistics:
<quote>
"I'm not usually one to bothered too much by sales figures I was a
little
amazed by the sales figures for the Nintendo DS:
"In less than two years since its Nov. 21, 2004 launch, Nintendo has
sold
more than 21 million Nintendo DS(TM) systems worldwide. By comparison,
Apple(R) shipped one million of its ever- popular iPod(R) music
players in
its first 19 months. The rate of Nintendo DS units being sold equates
to
23 systems per minute -- that's nearly one every two seconds --
non-stop
since launch."
</quote>
those figures, if correct are frankly astonishing. i doubt the PSP has
sold that many units, either.

When this Wii flops, kiddy portables will be all that is left of Nintendo.
Then we shall soon see a Mario game on a real next-gen system.

Infact, you'll never see ANY Nintendo character on any system other
than a Nintendo system.
After your precious PS3 fails, you'll see why Sony isn't designed for
gaming. All they care about is money and nothing else. Why do you think
the PS3 costs $599usd and it took almost the entire life of the PS2 for
its price to drop?
Mattinglyfan
Why do you have to "doubt"? Put a little effort into it and you will see
that the PSP set sales records as well. I didn't say its sales topped the
DS, I said that they both broke records.

What company does not care about money? All Nintendo cares about is money.
That is why they keep bringing out the same OLD games and underpowered
systems - to make easy money.

Indeed. I love shooting a troll down in flames :)
Michael J. Caboose
not editing video or sound. It's not being used for business
applications like huge spreadsheets. Games are specifically designed
for the hardware to provide the best visuals with whatever the console
has under the hood.
Why is it, that a console which can display visuals that are considered
amazing using little power is considered underpowered? It does its job
of playing video games with amazing visuals perfectly. Do you consider
a 140hp car underpowered when all you do is use it to drive around the
city in? It does its job perfectly. It's overkill if you use a Ferrari
to simply go get groceries. And that is what the PS3 is. Overkill. The
XBox 360 is also overkill, but not to the extent that the PS3 is.
So, why is it that a console that plays videogames very well is
considered "underpowered" when something like the PS3 which could also,
by its shape, double as an electric grill not considered overkill?

Well, technically, it is moving the HD. Not only that, but this is moving
into the future. One comapny chooses to live in it's past.

If they were the only ones with a system, it would be amazing. When you see
what else is out there, you really see amazing!
It does its job

It does it's job of playing Nintendo's games. It DOES NOT do the job of
playing EA games(they are not the most gprahical company in the world...) or
anyone else's games. At least not like the 360 and PS3. Say what you will,
but those systems are the graphics that the weak link system must be judged
by.
Do you consider

I did. Hitting hills were a problem. I knew it was underpowered, but it
was all that I could afford at the time. I have moved to the next level.
Hopefully after this I can finally get a V6.
It does its job perfectly.
On flat roads. Higher powered cars work better in the snow also as I see.

Or much of anything else. Some people might do that if you have it like
that.
And that is what the PS3 is. Overkill.
Only from a weak system's perspective. 5 years down the road which system
will look like overkill and which wil look like ancient times?
The

It might be overkill, but the Wii is not even a leap from the GC. The Wii
should make the GC look old, not just look like another GC with a BS
controller.

be a racist, sexist, homophobic prick who extends that bigotry all the
way through to videogames. He's only interested in games that duplicate
reality (God knows why we have enough of it already) and is always

has.

I can't be racist. Who cares if someone is sexist? Is there really
anything wrong with being 'homophobic?' If that is the (made up) word that
you would like to use? You can call me that all day. I am not one to run
from labels some try to associate with so-called hate.

Also, a point that has to be remembered is the semantics of press
releases from Sony and Nintendo. Nintendo usually quote units sold and
their bank balance backs this up - Sony on the other hand tend to focus
on units 'shipped', not sold.
Michael J. Caboose
Even at E3 they kept toting about how many units they've shipped. If I
was in the crowed, I'da yelled out and asked how many they've sold.
Just to see what kinda response I'd get. Most likely "Sony doesn't deal
in absolutes"
And it seems somewhat odd, that Nintendo will post their losses and
gains and units sold where as Sony won't. Why is that?
Oh and "Guest" homophobic is a real word. Maybe you'd want to pick up a
dictionary sometime and look it up ok.

probably because half the units they have shipped have been
replacement consoles either replaced under warranty, or bought by
consumers to replace PS2s that fucked up after the warranty had
expired. i know i'm on my 3rd one already. i know a couple of people
who have had 4.

because Sony's finances are going down the toilet quickly. they need
the the PS3 to be a huge hit to keep them afloat, apparently because
their other hardware divisions (TVs, consumer electronics, etc) are
underperforming badly.
wonder if it's because their stuff is usually
overpriced..................oooh, now there's a thought, eh Sony?

Bling bling became a phrase in the dictionary too. That was made up. In
fact, all words are made up. You and other gays use the word incorrectly.
It is supposed to mean a fear of gays, but you people use it assuming a
hatred of gays. Since I do not qualify for either, you cannot use that word
for me.

Wow, you have no idea what you are talking about do you? Sony has posted
reported fairly substantial profits for the last two fiscal quarters in

It's easy to say someone else has no idea and then show no evidence to
back up your claims either. Note: I'm not necessarily saying you're
wrong, before you go off on one.

it has been widely reported all over the place that the playstation
division is what is keeping sony going, which is why they need the PS3
to be a hit to continue this.
i never said they weren't turning a profit, theyre bound to with the
PS2 being as popular as it is.
i never said the PS3 was causing their relative financial
difficulties, did i?

Recently (ie. the last two quarters) it's not the case. The PSP was a
shot in the arm on the gaming front, but other than that it's the TVs
and cameras/camcorders that are driving profit.

Not sure why the Bravias are doing so well in the US, maybe it's
pricing, certainly there are better sets out there for the money in Europe.

I know you aren't saying I am wrong because like many people, you probably
