What the...? That's almost the exact reverse of Japan right now, as the DS has been leading console sales since Nintendogs came out (though the yearly total for it, PSP, and PS2 are all pretty even), and the GBA has been selling at about 1/3 that.
Weird... But hey, Pokemon still seems to be a driving force, and Emerald came out end of April, didn't it? Must have been a few more kids growing up between this version and the last.

well, i see nothing so weird in may's low of ds sales - look what titles were available for the platform in NA during that time - absolutely nothing of common interest. we're still waiting for nintendogs, and after that nanostray and castlevania. psp, oth, pulled a ps2 - av-media playback and emulators galore.
btw, it seems psp was badly cracked recently.. hope this does not affect the sw sales..

It didn't in May so I don't think the hacking it will kill PSP sw sales. As time passes Sony will keep releasing firmware updates so...
Exactly and people have to remember that NA sells about twice as much videogames than Japan does so that should tell you something. And the PSP didn't have millions of games coming out for it either in May either.

That link just takes you to someone quoting the article in the first link. I don't find that very reliable.
I'd like to see another independant source before I'll believe those numbers.sales will pick up for the ds in june and july
We have golden eye , splinter cell , intendogs
Plus new color unit + mario 64 pack in
This is what happened in japan . With the new color around the corner a few weeks before the launch sales spiked down for those who wiatied for the color .
We can't keep the blue ones in stock at the store (the grey / silverish ones aren't selling all that great though)

I hope the PSP sells like gangbusters, this lil thing is looking to be the handheld gaming unit I was dreaming about back when I was playing Genesis games.
Seriously, it's a faboo little toy! I never picked up and played with the kids GB/GBA, but the PSP I'm borrowing off my son all the time to play with.
When they get cheaper I might pick one up for myself.

Got myself a PSP, Wipeout Pure and a 512mb card on my way back from work today. Been trying out all the emulators, Doom, features, and I've just started testing with movie/series transcoding. It's 12:30am and I'm not even tired! When will it stop!?!

They don't have power points in a hospital!??
She played it for 5-6 hours in the hospital?
Like I said, I charge it only when I remember (which is every few days), and I've only seen the battery light flashing once; I probably play it for about 1-2 hours every day. This to me is more than acceptable; I certainly have to charge it a lot less than my other gadgets.
Taken out of context this sentence brings brings multitude images in my mind, some of them disturbing.jvd said:
