Uh, Nintendogs got a 40/40 from Famitsu. It is not lame. Do you know how rarely Famitsu gives out that score.

Also, the DS is just as good as the PSP. It's just the fact that the DS has great games in Japan, unlike the US. They get new releases every week, where-as we get, maybe 2 games a month. The DS is getting more software per week than the PSP in Japan. It's the "thing" over there.

Also, I own a DS, and I'm impressed with it. While I prefer the PSP, I still love my DS. Plus, Advance Wars: Dual Strike is going to own every living thing on the planet.

I hate hearig how DS is supposivly kicking PSP's butt. PSP is th first handheld of its kind to stand a chance against nintendo. Nintendo has had this market for YEARS! and many of the games in the past work on DS and has a much larger database of games to play. It isnt a shock PSP has a slower start then DS. It will take some time to push out some better titles and hopefully they impliment the true universitality of the psp with its limitless potential...

nintendo's company is about making innovative games. the psp has a few games that stand out like Lumines, but other than that, its pretty much like PS2 games. We need something fast, once GTA and GT comes, playstation will be set. Let nintendo have its glory now, but SOny will prevail in the long run. LONG LIVE SONY!


damn dead pixel!

I am so dissapointed with Sony and the PSP. The PSP is the GREATEST HANDHELD EVER. I remember when i bought my first PSP back in February, i was so fuking exited about all the features and all the upcoming tittles that we where going to have once it came out in the US but look how much time has passed and we still have no word on most of the games and capabilities we wanted on the psp. where is the Online capabilities on the PSP
(( Web Browsing))?? where are all the other lunch tittles that we were suppost to have for the PSP??? Where is GTA for the psp?? where is Grand Turismo Mobile??? They over hyped all that stuff so we could go ahead and buy the PSP. They are just a bunch of liers. Now correct me if im wrong but didnt ALOT of people bought the PSP thinking that GTA and Grand Turismo was going to come out right after the lunch of the PSP in the US???

Well Considering that the tamagushi was a big hit it does not surprise me that nintendogs is doing so well

In fact Nintendo dogs has _nothin_ to do with DS sales at all.. its Gundam G.. Remember these are weekly and monthly stats _not_ totals..
link

Not sure where the 'Nintendo Dogs'.. sales are. I doubt they would beat Gundam sales in Japan anyway.. hrm.. Gundam.. at last.. sweet game on DS Also have a good look at the totals captain posted - a mere 12,000 units diff in a market like Japan.. is nothing.. Not actually sure about those numbers though too..
