"PSP's solid sales start"

PSP has pretty much sold out throughout Japan in contrast to Nintendo where DS's can be found everywhere.

Then again Nintendo shipped 1 million whilst the Sony shipped 200,000.

Sony continue their ploy of releasing a few to build up demand.

PSP is almost certain to succeed in Japan to some degree mainly because handhelds have always been appealing in Japan. It is the west Sony might struggle somewhat because sales for handhelds are nothing compared to console sales (GBA and GBA SP sales almost always eclipse console sales in Japan).

PSP failing to break the west will mean loss of third party support, which leads to loss of sales in Japan. Although I'm sure Sony's MP3 and video player will be an attractive western feature (or not, as i believe).

PSP Vs. DS is the ultimate battle of Graphics Vs. Gameplay. Not saying the PSP will fail on the gameplay front but here we are seeing this almost "revolution" in gameplay going head to head with a fantastic graphiced machine.

Nintendo are taking a risk, gambling. Which is nice and rather different as of late. The reason it hasn't been branded with the Gameboy label is that if the DS does not continue with its high sales and flops like Nintendo's other experimental console, the virtual boy, then a true Gameboy successor can be released.

Recent American and Japanese sales reports for the DS confirms my belief that the real winner of this handheld war will be the Gameboy Advance.

Yea, but you didnt say only from this thread. And anyway, I did stick to the Nintendo section.

Sony have top end graphics for the likes of Ridge Racer and Final Fantasy.

But the DS has these franchises too. In fact the DS has 2 FF games already in development.

These games confessingly won't have nearly the graphical ability of the PSP but they use a totally new and innovative form of play in order to play the games.

By all means play a portable version of Final Fantasy, I'm perfectly happy playing an innovative version of final fantasy.

And I never said the PSP would fail as I prediced. I just kept my prediction going and stated it might succeed in Japan.

I also am very tempted by a PSP. Medievil... hmmmm.

And what a burden it is.

I'll never get back those 12 seconds I spent changing from Disc 1 to Disc 2, just once, during the course of my 60 hour long play through Tales of Symphonia.

You sighted one remark from this thread. One.

And I fail to see how it's not fair comment.

Yet no less ill-informed or retarded.


And for the record, this isn't being backed into a corner, it's a verbal and intellectual massacre. Of you.

There's another one for the collection.

BTW: the advantage of having more data space is that you dont have to break the game into more than 1 disc so often.

Here you go....

Note the comment "this is PS2 games we're talking about here" - as if thats all the PS2 can handle due to it being cr@p

(To Macintosh)

Did you fail to read what gerrid said the first time? The reason why PS2 games are on DVD's is because of FMV sequences and so forth.

The game itself probably only takes up about 1GB of space (this is PS2 games we're talking about here - I'd estimate PSP games would take up about 500mb



Another.....(from another thread in this section). What the heck is this about?

It's top score back again, with better grammar.

Macintosh is probably Update 2.01, his bumboy.


More....

T Score 04 and Macintosh are the same person - both registered for 240 days. I can't be a coincidence.
You loser! Go back to your Sony forum and spam that place up instead!

Same person, what you on about? I think if look at my posts, they are in the main more constructive for a start.

Your problem solving skills aren't great are they?

When developers make a very big game for the GC, they split it over two discs.


Here's hoping your brain cell figures out mitosis.

Really?

I'd be interested to see an example from one of the people you're arguing against that justifies that statement.
