Man, that's just total ownage by the DS. Even the regular one is killing the PSP :p

Edited by Ji@nBing

Also, everyone that bought a DS probably bought at least one game as well. Nintendo just made a sh^tload of money this week. And MP: Hunters and Tetris DS are coming out in a couple of days. Those are some games that can sell consoles. I can only see higher numbers for next week if Nintendo can keep up with demand.

^ or they might be purchasing it to support Sony's sale numbers? You know they have lot of disposable money. It could also be many people are buying the newer smaller version of PS2 to replace their old big one.

"I've got $300 to spend. Hm... let's see... I'll buy another PS2 and put it in the closet with the 15 other PS2s! Hail Sony!"

Final Fantasy XII came out last week in Japan...

FFXII sold 1,764,266 units. The 2nd highest selling game for the week was Animal Crossing DS, selling just 70,932 units. I guess there were actually some people who still hadn't bought a PS2...? :pinch:

The fact of the matter is that there are plenty of non-gamers who don't have a PS2 yet, who are just now getting lured to it due to its reduced price, new thin design, and good games.

Only a limited few hard core gamers re-buy their PS2 for the new design, and even fewer buy it just to support Sony. Hardly enough to make a difference in sales figures, unless the sales figure is in the range of the xbox :laugh:

DSL is still kicking ass, even with the new FFXII out.

Wow, The PS2 certaintly gave a hard right to the Nintendo DS. And then the new kid on the block kicks it in the bollocks and runs :rofl:

I'm surprised DSL and DS sales are being kept seperate, Nintendo usually bundles the GBA, SP and Micro under the same heading.

  • 2 weeks later...

what's strange to me is that they sell so much nintendo stuff overthere and that overhere, the things i see on the street or train or whatever are psp... the only dss i've seen for real are those on display in the shops...

why are western ppl so focused on graphical bruhaha? do eastern ppl feel the gameplay is more important than the way how it looks, and why don't we?

its because nintendo have a lot of dateing sims for their hand helds and with the new touch ones they gunna have a whole lot more but in june sales will slow up

Do you even know what you're talking about?

It's because of their non-games like Brain Training, Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing that the DS is selling like hot cakes.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
