I agree. But in these times of days a game that rocks isn't quite enough anymore. It also needs big budget that makes the game looks expensive - VA, Hollywood movie type scenes, hours of CG/FMV, mind-blowing(not simple) HDTV progressive scan support graphics, surround DLP2 sound, online, huge marketing, etc. Nintendo aims not to do any of these.

Of course there is. Sony is best at keeping secrets and releasing megaton type deals like nothing. Remember how we were surprised last October when we found out the price of the PSP? And then a week later RE4 port to PS2 news? Then SC3 exclusive? They're insane in making huge surprises.

Sony, we have trusted you this far and you have not led us astray. Forgive me. I was wrong to despair. Lol, i really need to stop watching twin towers everytime it's on encore or whatever movie channel that is. Guess you're right though, i can't remember the last time if any that big news was leaked prerelease when it came to Sony.

Who is Samus going to talk to? Herself? OMG, Samus has mental problems!

Pretty sure i'd have mental problems too if i'd been to like 8 different planets filled with lethal creatures that'd enjoy nothing more than killing me. On top of that like you said it's always just her and that trusty old yellow and red armor lol.

Very likely that they don't equal to 64,000 though. We know for sure that they all did below 11,000 that week. Plus most are WAY below 11,000. PSP software sales are highly unlikely to have sold near 64,000 this week.

Let's say the PSP games under Top 10 all sold 10,000 each then. 7 of them is all they need to outsell Nintendogs!

And Metroid Prime 1 and 2 all have other characters that's not Samus. Also a lot of descriptions when you scan should have computer voice over too. The game is supposed to be based in the future and therefore high tech. Samus shouldn't even need to read at all if you think about it.

But they didn't, because the only two PSP games seen in the last two weeks on the daily charts were Derby Time and Minna no Golf.

There is absolutely no positive way in hell, especially with Super Mario 64 DS and Wario Ware DS being in or near the top 20 (thus occupying more spots on the chart) that PSP software sold over 64,000 this week.

Your PSP statments in this thread are quite something. Creative mind OOgami has.

The last thing Metroid needs is lame voice interuptions like MGS. Codec is the bane of all gaming. Tidus' voice>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Codec blather.

How do you know for the week Nintendogs outsold the whole PSP library? We only know the Top 10 software sales. Top 11-100 have bunch of PSP games too you know.
Click to expand...

Ok I've been rumbled. Sort of. Actually in the "Who can stop the puppies?" thread the following info was divulged regarding the week to May 1st:
Nintendogs: 68,000
PSP Total: 14 games 58,000
Top 3 psp games: 30,000

That means the next 11 psp games sold 28K. I don't think it's totally impossible that the next 20 psp games sold less than 10K. This week Nintendogs only went down to 64,000 and psp games probably went down with the hardware sales. Still, what I can say, with Nintendogs selling 180K in the first week, is that Nintendogs in these last 3 weeks(315K) has handily outsold the entire psp library(less than 300K) put together for the last 3 weeks.

It doesn't work like that. When Dengeki had numbers for their top 50, a lot of the times, 11-50 would range anywhere from 9,000-1,000.

And Metroid Prime 1 and 2 all have other characters that's not Samus. Also a lot of descriptions when you scan should have computer voice over too. The game is supposed to be based in the future and therefore high tech. Samus shouldn't even need to read at all if you think about it.

Hearing it spoken would take longer than reading it. And at least you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

However, if they had a little video recording accompanying the speech so you could see the history, that could be cool. It'd ruin the atmosphere, but I've never been a fan of the MP atmosphere.

NO WE WON'T SAY THAT OK? Because its for FACT that not 7 of them of them sold 10,000 each. The majority of PSP games are selling UNDER 1,000, with a few above 1,000. You can tell just by looking at that list you posted where most of the games have sold totals less than 50,000. Those are games that are definitely either low 1,000 or under 1,000.

Well they're neck to neck then. Not that much of a difference. The price of a PSP game is more expensive than Nintendogs too, probably why Nintendogs sold better.

Robinson and Duncan are the better twin towers! Hope the Spurs win this year. Shaq has to lose! /laker fan

My last off topic post, but Akeem and Sampson were the original twin towers, everyone called them that. Ask any sports head who the twin towers are and they'd name these two. Those other tandems have been more successful ring wise but these two will always carry the nickname :D

Damage control at its finest.

Expensive games don't sell! :lol Wrong. If that were the case, PSP wouldn't be doing so hot.

Yeah actually the reason PSP hasn't overtaken DS yet is because of the higher price.

Feh, great tandem indeed but i lost alot of respect the spurs and robinson when they totally tanked the last half of 96-97 so they'd have a better chance in the lottery. He coulda played. Had robinson played that second half they probably would have moved up to just out of the playoffs heh. If you're a spurs fan you know i'm right :lol

PSP Game price: 5040 Yen
Nintendogs Price: 4980 Yen
NDS Third party game price: 5040 Yen

So yes, a PSP game is wayyyyy more expensive than Nintendogs... 60 Yen makes a lot of a difference :D

Didn't they get Duncan in that lottery? If so, all is good. :D

And I'm also a TMac fan, but his last 40-point Game 7 blowout-ed game made me so mad. :lol

We can only hope. He's come in here and has attempted Sony damage control...and ended up looking like a complete idiot in the process. Can't we ban people for being completely retarded?

With the last MC sales post, he called the DS's 64k "fairly decent" and the 38k the PSP sold was "really well". :lol :lol

Sorry? You're damage controlling the fact that for the week, Nintendogs was neck and neck with the sales of every psp game put together by using the fact that it's 60 cents cheaper?

There are no words.

It's amazing how one game that is arguably not a game can turn around hardware numbers that much.

A month ago, it was: DS is doomed, PSP is kicking ass. How things have changed!
