Aha, found the UK sales numbers, too.

But yeah, the PSP is slaughtering it.

I recently took a pole of just about everybody I knew that owns a PSP. For every single one of them the most played games are emulated Nintendo games. Talk about irony.

As a resident of the UK, I must contest this. What you need to realise, is that there is a massive demand for the PSP over here. The only reason why the DS is outselling it at the moment, is because not enough units are being shipped over and readily available to consumers. Most stores are sold out. If an equal amount of PSP and DS consoles were available nationwide, it would be a safe bet to assume that the PSP would outsell the DS.

I'm not some Sony fanboy telling you this. I have a DS, and have no interest in purchasing a PSP. But those figures you provided don't even tell half of the story.

The Playstation brand is massive over here. The PSP broke the records for most console units sold in the first week.

Before I attempt any ninja-like missions in order to obtain a DS to hone my skillz and attempt to "whoop yo' silly white ass" as they say, lets have a listing of games in possesion (Mariocart already accepted as a given). I was actually going to ask "Is is here yet?" if that hadn't been an announcement that it...well, already was.

stupid britain with their stupid release dates and stupid retarded bloody lack of ds online etc etc

I can't wait though, i've put aside enough money to get mario kart and one of those cool USB wireless ds deelies (assuming i can). I'm pre-ordering an import of animal crossing and i'm making notes of all my American friend's/fellow forum goers codes (and australian too i guess).

Nintendo are definitly making a comeback in my life.

Nope. I've got the guilt list of demands ready, and the mariokart DS bundle is on the top, so we'll see how it goes. This is where not nearly failing highschool to go to a community college and not smoking a bunch of shit in junior high comes in handy, as well as keeping my mouth shut to the comments my mother has on ordeals such as equal rights or gay pride. We'll see...yessss..... :)

It has an in-built capability to connect to Wireless internet sources. You simply pick up a compatable game, connect in-game and play. You can also play exclusivly with your freinds by using a freind code generated when you go online.

Pretty simple stuff really, but it's made me start neglecting my other consoles which will only get worse when i actually get my hands on Animal Crossing: Wild World.

God i want that game.
