I was reading somewhere that the DS was sold out in Japan and Nintendo was sending out apologies. I was at Circuit City yesterday (in the US), and then had a tower of DSes available for sale. There had to be over 30. If you're reading this is Japan, I'll ship ya over DSes if you ship over Xbox 360s

Whoa! 13 million, I wonder how many PSPs have been SOLD, not shipped. Anyone has an estimated figure or something?

PSP's? Probably 10.

They issued an apology instead of say shipping the extras to a country that doesn't want any... I mean, sure the demand is lower in the U.S. and Europe, but I wouldn't call it the lost cause that the Xbox 360 is in Japan. The situation amuses me to no end.

Perhaps now Europe has bought 3.5m compared to America's 4.0m they'll stop treating us like second class citizens and release some better games from Japan.

I love my DS. My sister has a PSP sitting on her desk collecting dust since it first came out. Now she's got 2 DS's...one for her and one for the boyfried. I just may go out and buy a 2nd DS myself instead of fighting my wife to play Mario & Luigi partners in time.

I think the PSP still has a chance as a game machine, but barely. It needs have a couple killer apps in different genres to really hit in the gaming community.



I wonder if the main problem is the complexity of development for it. Since it is essentially a scaled down PS2, are game companies willing to dev for it or would they rather spend a little more time and money and make a game for PS2 and Xbox?



It is because of that, not in spite of it, I think, that Sony has pushed the media features so much.
