With the recent press on the DS - what's the story with Japanese PSP sales figures for hardware, software and movie sales relative to DS H/S? Apples to Apples comparison.

What games are driving this? Nintendogs alone is an addictive substance that should have a surgeon general's warning on it. Throw in Meteos and Electroplankton and you've got digital cocaine in your pocket. Sigh, I wish we had black DSes over here in the states.

Yamakiyo was kind enough to translate Nintendo's apology, which can be found here: http://www.yamakiyo.org/press/index.php?/archives/16-Micro...

What I would like to know is exactly WHAT games are driving the DS sales. They can't seriously be selling out just for PictoChat ;)

So could we safely put "The DS is just a gimick" beside "640k should be enough for anybody" in the history people eating their words

Nintendo must be overjoyed at how well the DS is doing. Honestly, I love Nintendo, but even I didn't imagine that it would do _this_ well. I guess this could mean good things for the Revolution...
