Very bad arguement. What do you consider a "big" title? The DS has a superb line-up for the fall/winter season. And with the launch of the wi-fi connection, DS sales Will go up.
X-box 360 has little to do with the DS and PSP's sales.

I don't think it'll keep it's footing this christmas. If you look at this fall/winter line up of games Nintendo has nothing coming out that's a big title. It just released nintendogs and advance wars, and there's nothing else I think personally will sell well enough to take the picture away from all the behemoth names coming out especially in November, with the xbox 360 launching and oblivion, quake 4, etc taking the market by storm. Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and New Super Mario Bros. says differently. And oh. If Nintendo wasn't so kind to do us gamers a big favor and dely Twilight Princess to make it better than it would quite possibly sale MORE because of the holiday season, don't you think? | |
I was talking about how much will nintendo in general (I was speaking gamecube and ds combined) stand up against other consoles... sorry about not clarifying. He was saying nintendo in general is the most profitable company.

Plenty..*CLears throat Whoa! FF5 is coming out on the DS? Now I'm DEFINATELY buying it. :O | |
Alright maybe this will end this thread. Most people shouldn't worry if some handheld system is making more then another. It's more of your preference. For example, you like animal crossing go ahead and get a DS. No one cares. When I buy a system, I look at what it has to offer, it's price and if i would prefer it more. I don't say, wow Nintendo is making more money or sony is making more money so I think I will buy their system. All game sales tell you is that there is more people who prefer a certain game over another.
Now stop yelling at each other :P | |

I do not listen to music on my PSP. I have an Ipod for that. Same thing goes for videos. Same here. I was the last among my friends to buy a PSP and the first to sell mine to Games+ and buy a few cool GBA and DS games. Of course, I didn't even like the DS at first b/c originally all the games sucked. | |
Sony makes most of its sells to teenagers and people who just started playing games either around the same time or after the PS1 came out. However, the people who were around for the earlier Nintendo's remain Nintendo fans. That means that it is likely most people have a Sony gaming system.
On the other side of that though, nearly everyone who bought/received a PS2 also bought/received a GBA. PSP and DS are just about equal as far as I can tell, but most of the people that I know of who have a PSP use it for movies and music and stick with a GBA (or possible GBC) or DS for playing handheld games. Now, the point in buying a PSP or DS is to play games, right? And considering most people own a CD player and have radios and can listen to music online, the music part of the PSP makes no sense. Neither does the UMD part considering the resolution sucks and the screen is so tiny. Unfortunately, I think the only reason anybody is buying the PSP is due to loyalty (and after getting the DS I'm tempted to say the same for it, even though a few of the games made it worthwile) | |
Gameboy Micro?
*perks up at possibly only good news received all day* Make sure you let us know as much as possible about it. | |

Yeah..I buy what system I think will potentially provide me the most entertainment and is within my price range..I'm gonna have to stick with DS, but if somehow I won a PSP in a contest, I would not turn it down..

Yeha..Gameboy micor is for the fashion freaks who wnat a GBA jsut as "stylihs as the are". But the DS ins't a successor to the GBa, it jsut so happens to play GBA games... So basicly DS is another system for Nintendo fans to play with...GC, DS, GBA, and GB??..

I've never liked the fact that I couldn't find a fun RPG on the nintendo brand (discluding previous final fantasies) Does that mean you don't like Zelda, the game that turned me into an RPG lover and a Nintendo fanboy? | |
Yep..Also, think about the new pokemon game for DS. It could allow trading with GBA versions with one system..I heard its a planned feature..

Seeing as you did not, you listed something I have no reason for even caring about.I did read through the post, and my understanding was that you were arguing with Jon and saying that Nintendo is the better company. I was just merely confused why you would post a linkt o a sight that said there are more PS2 games in the top 10 than Nintendo. Midnight Club 3: Not only on PS2Yes, but according to the site it was the PS2 version that made it on the list. In parentheses next to the name, it lists which console was selling it and who made it. | |
Lol, would they? You mean, wouldn't they, am I right? Because companies do it all the time.
