Ya know, I've thought about coming up with all sorts of creative ways to present you the hardware sales like our sister sites do, but there's really only so many ways you can creatively express the DS Lite's ass kicking of the PSP in Japan. But I'm going to give it a go this week.So, in honor of the Joystiq family tradition, I'll bring you a creative hardware sales post this one time. If you've ever played Mad Libs, you'll know exactly what to do. If not, go outside and play in the street.
- DS Lite: 116,941
12,454 (11.92%)- PS2: 22,380
2,347 (9.50%)- PSP: 20,271
1,332 (6.17%)- GBA SP: 2,421
122 (5.31%)- Game Boy Micro: 1,660
54 (3.15%)- Xbox 360: 1,287
456 (26.16%)- Gamecube: 638
15 (2.30%)- DS Phat: 130
143 (52.38%)- GBA: 37
25 (67.57%)- Xbox: 6
3 (100.00%)The [insert adjective] DS Lite [insert verb] the PSP's [insert noun] in this week's Japanese hardware sales. But even though the PSP is [insert verb] this week, the [insert noun] is definitely [insert adjective] for the our beloved handheld. Just wait until [insert upcoming PSP game] comes out. Yeah, then things will be different!

Not to be a party pooper, but the PSP is not getting its ass kicked in Japan, its happening everywhere, even if it is a little hard to realize it. He he, just thought I'd give a little reality check. =D

Yeah, well the PSP was kicking the DS ass in early 2005. The diff is, PSP fans weren't pissing in DS forums and blogs rubbing it in your faces the way you are, immature little twit.
I talked to a Toys R Us game rep today and he said PSP games were selling rather well. Not quite as fast as DS games, but who cares? Only petty insecure fanboys like Nintendites need to seize on the weekly sales figures in Europe or Japan (or the very *recent* sales lead in the USA).
One thing's for sure, none of this changes how much fun I had with my PSP owning friends this past week playing Ace Combat X... Or how much I'm anticipating Vice City Stories just around the corner.
Meanwhile, on my DS, I'm playing the same Age of Empires I was into months ago, because everything since then has been Mario crap or yet ANOTHER blatant Nintendogs ripoff edition, milking Nintendo's most susceptible target market, young kids. Oh, and more Pokemon... Joy.
You can keep those and all the ultra-boring Brain/Cooking/Training/Blah ungames. If that's what sells these days, I couldn't care less.

Is that right pixelator? Sony fanboys not showing up in Nintendo forums and rubbing stuff in our faces? That's news to me.
PSP fanboys have died down a bit lately but that's only because there isn't SHIT for them to brag about.
You guys have the worst double standards of any fanboys. When things are going your way you think you own the world. You talk a lot of crap even getting personal and you do it in numbers.
The second things aren't going you way you turn into a bunch of whiney little brats. 1 or 2 MS/Nintendo fanboys show up to talk a little smack and you throw a fucking hissy fit like your entire world is coming to an end.
Suck it up dude. If you think this weak little showing is bad you should have seen the CRAP we had to put up with from you fanboys up until about a year ago not to mention the fact that we got to put up with being called little kids by highschool playstation fanboys for oh.. I don't know.. about 10 years?
Cry me a freaking river.
