Yoshi, you made that number up. DS did outsell in Japan, but it was by a fractional number hardly worth mentioning (try a 4 digit number, maybe 5). And again, the majority of players in Japa are Nintendo junkies. Also, the launch of the PSP didn't do much because Sony sets higher launch prices. Here, the price of the DS is the same of the PSP because the launch is over.
Also, I'm very certain that there are 40-year-olds out there playing- Heck I might have been wrong. Maybe there are more people living in their parents' basements than kids, who knows. Pokemon is an overated game that hasn't been good since Blue and Red. The new ones just have more monsters to complicate A KID'S GAME. I don't care if more adults play it than kids, it is targeted at kids. Blue and Red were the only ones worth money (And maybe Yellow, since you could get almost every pokemon in it).
And Nataku, I've said it hundreds of times- Even if they are the same PS2 games, even if they are the same DVDs, it is now portable. Would you buy a PS2 if it was made into a portable? DVD? Then why not a PSP? Sure, you have to buy the new games, which is bad for people with big libraries. But oh well, PSP has the potential for so many things. You can put movies on the mem cards and watch them. For an internet pirate like me, that's the best thing since Australia. You can supposedly do the same with games- download an emulator and a rom and put it on a PSP. You wanted Nintendo games? Well, there ya go. Emulate them onto the PSP. ^^
With that info about FREE Nintendo games, the only people who would want a DS are those who want it just to have it like me (I said I'm buying it anyway), those who like the unique style, those who have an empty hope for 1st person shooters, or just diehard fanboys and girls.
