I never could get into MH, think I'll give it another go with the amount of units it's shipping!

MGS4 really needs to come out to boost those PS3 numbers :laugh: At least the PS2 isn't outselling it anymore, but they're hardly numbers to boast about.

[The Teej]

Ah man, DSL is doing so poorly :( Looks like its time for a new iteration? D:

[George P Global Moderator]

Or just a new color you mean?

4 months of Nintendo dethrowning. Unlucky.

[gunnerhkjp]

I'm pretty sure even Sony didn't think the PSP will so this well :laugh:

[George P Global Moderator]

And yet, even with the lower Wii and NDS sales they still own the top 10 list on the software sales side. And as we all know (or should know by now) all of the big $$$ is made on software sales.

wow, psp is selling very well.

[AlphaPrime]

Yeah PSP has been doing really good in Japan since they launched the Slim model. It surprised me that it's doing this well since it wasn't a huge revision, you can barely tell the difference just by looking at them. PSP was doing around the 20k mark before the Slim launched. Maybe they like the TV-out function.

Nintendo keeps owning the Software side of the charts. I don't see anything changing, you get 1 maybe 2 PSP games in there for a bit, or hell even a 360/PS3 game once in a while, but it's all NDS and Wii.

I suppose if you have a PS3, the PSP Slim is essentially a portable media center (that you can plug into the TV)

Also MHP2G passed 2 million this week, I think it's the first PSP title ever to sell that much.

[Jimmy0]

That's quite a big drop for the Wii there (25736), what happened?

[George P Global Moderator]

Everything is going down it seems. You'll just need a new big name game to help push hardware again. Or a price cut.

[Nickyyy]

I wonder how well the PS1 would sell if sony re released it again. lol
