Just had a ganda at the list and it's a bit....rubbish really

Wario Ware, Mario 64 and then a load of filler crap are hardly gonna get the hardware flying off the shelves. Judging by the release schedule as well, there won't be any decent games out for a while afterwards either.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't pi** on fire to put any of the PSP software out. But MGS and all the other *cool* games are surely gonna tempt the public more than Pokemon dash?

Please tell me I'm wrong and GAME release list is a load of ass.

70,000 in a week is incredible and a good sign for the industry. Nuy 723,000 2 months after launch isn't. If you gather my meaning. Consoles tend to sell around a million in that time.

Tilt said the public would go for MGS Acid. I disagree. I could be wrong. But I have reason behind my belief.

Er.... you are forgetting one very addictive important title!!!!

Polarium!
And for £20!


Sr Are doing it for £19! [URL]http://specialreserve.co.uk/Polarium_3064_r.html[/URL]

Geez! Saying that the DS launch is bad is really nonsense.
Sure we Europeans are going to get Wario Ware, Mario 64 DS etc but look at the other titles that are first class!: Project Rub, Zoo Keeper and Mr.Driller that I'm sure I will be buying!

And in the future.....the newly 'in the release list' Command and Conquer.

Well, the US and Japan launch didn't even have Wario Ware, and they did well enough. But, yes, 'tis crap.

More will come ... lots more ... good stuff.

Dringo you're like a contradiction machine.

Every other PSP topci you say that the PSP sales have been just "incredible", and now you're saying they're disappointing? Well which is it?

Also what do we care about whic game sells the best? People are talking about games that they actually WANT. I agree that there isn't anything particularly awe-inspiring, like there should be, but they'll come. Zelda, Mario Kart, Yoshi, Super Mario Bros, etc. Also the fact that some of the games (polarion) will retail at £20 is a bonus.

Is it really? Unless I'm mistaken the PSP has been out 2 months and sold 723,000...

Which to be honest is very dissapointing for a launch console especially in Japan who snap up most gadgets.

MGS Acid also had the highest position of 32 in the Japanese all format charts.

Whilst Mario 64 DS was one of last years top sellers and has been in the top 10 for 2 months. Pokemon Dash lasted about a month and Wario Ware has lasted a little longer than that.

Whilst only one PSP game has broken into the top 10, lasting one week.

Yeah, adults don't buy handhelds, which is why PSP is still selling at an incredible rate.
