I find this surprising...

That the Nintendo DS is selling more than Xbox 360, Wii, PS3(OBVIOUS)
Looks like Nintendo is back on their track.

Discuss.

Well the Wii isn't selling as good as it could because it's not easy to obtain.

Xbox 360 is past it's peak sellage. And isn't that great game wise...If it didn't have HALO...it wouldn't be much (especally since 90% of the good X-box games go to the PC a year later)

And like you said ps3 is obvious. Mass failage.

The DS rocks...end of story.

Simple.
Nintendo pretty much owns the handheld genre.
The DS Outright outsold the PSP because of the cheaper price and better games.
Now comparing it to the consoles would be unfair since the consoles generally cost more but still have better games.

In other words
Handheld always sell more than a console for some reason.

xbox: actually xbox360 now has a few things keeping it there: Halo, Crackdown, Rainbow Six: Vegas. so those are a few things bringing it on. the downer is the payment for Xbox live

PS3: just plain sucks

Wii: like was said, to hard to find.

DS: actually im not crazy about the DS, not many good games

PSP: is not selling more than th DS because of Homebrew. it can play a game from almost any system through this process, and there tons of other features through the goodness of some good hackers

XBOX is the shrine of FPS games. (Crackdown, Halo, Gears of War etcetc) Also Forza tho.
Wii is for sporty people. (Fat nerds care less on swooshing a white dildo around their house/apartment/dump)
PS3, well.. It's pretty much all-around. RPG (FF), Simulators (Gran Turismo) and other fun stuff. Can't name really as it is quite new.
DS? DS ez pz coz it has big range of games and is "cheap".
PSP is just too expensive for the range of games atm.

1. Price
2. It's easy to play it. (Consoles need a TV and you can't carry a flat-screen and electric at your back pocket easily.)

Edit. And Nintendo has always been the pioneer of gaming innovation.

No, Computer is.

Mouse aiming > joystick aiming

The good X-box games end up on the PC within a year or so.

Only reason PS3 failed was because of the price and hardly any good games out.
Most likely when FFXIII comes out, the sales will come up

.

Whist · 05-13-2007, 03:18 PM

I still will not pay 600 dollars + 50ish for a FF game.

Too bad that's probably not exclusive just for the PS3 either. As people say.

A lot of exclusives that were supposed to save the PS3 aren't even just for the PS3 anymore.

We have to wait and see.

And The PS3 is massive failure besides the cost.

Also, their games cost $60 now.

Whist · 05-13-2007, 03:59 PM

lol 60?

Wow sad.

That's the only reason im going to get it

. And for Metal Gear Solid, and Devil may cry.

PS3 OWNS when it comes to games, just look at the ps2's games. Just give it some time.

PS3's are a shiit load of money, but if you have a job, it really isn't to bad.
