PSP outsells DS in US by 1 million

Posted Jan 19th 2006 2:45PM by Blake Snow
In a report published Jan. 13, the The Mercury News says the PSP outsold the Nintendo DS in the US by more than 1 million units during 2005, this according to their own research. In contrast, the DS managed to sell out in Japan. Here's how the site breaks down the US sales numbers:

* PSP - 3.63M units (35% marketshare)
* DS - 2.43M units (23.5% marketshare)
* GBA - 4.26M units (41% marketshare)

If accurate, Americans seemingly care more about multi-functionality while the Japanese appreciate a large selection of both proven and experimental games on a next-gen portable. That is at least on the surface.

Now the Japanese may go for the DS more, but I personally do't care WTF they do. I buy whatever systems rawks as you can see I was a Nintendo guy at one time. Now I will buy Sony and Microsoft. And yes, I am l33t. I have more ghey ming horse power than anyone here.
Well, everything I've heard says that the DS has sold at least 4 million units in the US, and that world wide the DS is outselling the PSP 2 to 1. And, I think the Gamecube "rawks" just fine, thank you very much! I think that is one of the remarkable things about this console generation; not only did the market prove capable of supporting three major platforms, but all three major platforms were highly viable.

Personally I dont think they are comparable.
And I agree with whoever said about the games selection; tho I do agree that the PSP is so much better and can do more stuff, its being a bit slow on the games front...

Once again it all comes down to the user, psp offers many more features, but most of Joe public people wouldnt know how to use them effectively. Like putting free things on your psp, or resizing movies to place on psp, or surfing the web on psp. (and homebrew only works on v1.50 atm, and Sony is enticing people to update with more desirable options to rid of it)

Did it cross your mind that DS is actually appealing to a different audience? IMO, as per usual Nintendo is aiming at a younger generation (who most likely could not afford their own purchase) so cheaper prices make it a much better option to keep the youngun' happy.

The PSP on the other hand, generally seems to be aimed at a slightly older audience (look at the launch games), and with its extra features; a more technically savvy audience.... who can afford to blow some money on a more impressive, expensive gadget.

Most likely DS has outsold PSP, but probably due to its cheaper pricing.

As a PSP user myself i must say it kills the DS in every aspect that i see important in a game system.... The reason the DS sells more is because its cheeper and all the 10 year old kids want one to play nintendogs or something... I could go off and list the stuff a PSP has that a DS doesnt but most of you know that... And people keep saying numbers dont matter and so what if the ps3 is more powerful... Yea they do matter. In todays world everything matters...
