Well the X360 is beating the gamecube. Score!

Edit: Oh and 300,000 DS units sold in a week. Fuck me.

Edit 2: Seems that the Gamecube sold in a week more than the Xbox has sold all year. Although looking at the figures shouldn't give Sony any reason to worry about the home console market, in japan they seem to have it wrapped up nicely.

The PSP is getting a huge trashing...

No it isn't. Phil Harrison says so.

Eurogamer: Moving on to the PSP, how do you think it's gone now we're three months on from launch? What do you make of the reports Nintendo DS is outselling it?

Phil Harrison: Well that's factually incorrect. PlayStation Portable has been the fastest-selling machine to ten million units. We are bringing in plane-loads of PSPs into Europe and the US as we speak in order to satisfy the demand in the run-up to Christmas, and if you talk to retail they'll tell you it's the hottest-selling piece of hardware right now - by far and away the number one demanded product in stores this Christmas.

;):(:D

Well he's not quite lying, he's just basially ignoring the question.

The only actual claim he states is that the PSP has been the fastest selling machine to ten million units. Apart from that the only thing we get on current sales is a rather vague 'hottest' selling hardware which could mean that the new PSP's incorporate a hand warmer for all the sense it makes in regard to actual figures. And yes it may be the most demanded product, but if you've got none to sell then the DS will still be beating.

Eurogamer should really have taken him to task on that one, I hate it when people allowed to sprout bullshit in interviews safe in the knowledge that thier not going to get called on it. Eurogamer should have come back with 'Well in the month of November, DS sold X amount, Psp sold X amount what do you think of that. Far too much arselicking in that interview.

Yep, both the DS and PSP were on around 8.5 million at the end of September, so I'd imagine both are comfatably passed the 10million mark by now.

Well in that case, what with the PSP being launched much later than the DS, it means it's been outselling the DS by miles up until very recently. Or however long it took from the 8.5 million in September to the ten million. So he's not really lying. I guess.

the PSP was fastest to a particular number of sales... since it came out later. The PSP did it in (say) 6 months, while it took the DS 12.

But... now the DS big hitters are out and the PSP isn't ramping up any.

It's like 2 cars, the PSP has better acceleration up to 100... but runs out of puff.. while the DS doesn't really get going till it opens up.

or something like that.

I was in Dixons getting my DS swapped for one without a dead pixel, and they didn't have any Mario Kart packs left. In fact, they only had about four basic packs (the stock area is right behind the tills). I asked and it seems the other bundles were flying off the shelves.

On the shelf below the DSes in the stock room, there's a stack about three deep, five wide, and five high of PSP giga packs. Apparently they'd not been doing too well because of the price. Not a Value Pack in sight, mind.

Shipped, maybe, but not actually sold to customers as far as I know. Well, the DS might be by now after its mammoth sales of the last few weeks.

Yes they were shipped figures I saw, although since thier both selling so fast, I doubt the sales figures are much less than the shipped figures, both seem to be flying off the shelves as soon as they get the stock in.

Sonys shipped figures are so far off the estimated sales figures (based on the usual sources) that short of them storing them in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere no one quite knows what is going on.

I've always thought the Giga pack was a mistake. £270 for a handheld (no matter what you get with it) seems like too much. Sony's greed could of got the better of them for once.

I should imagine neither Sony or Nintendo are exactly unhappy with thier figures. Any way you look at, DS has been nothing less than a mammoth success, as has PSP, in terms of it being a new brand in handheld land.

The DS went through a lean patch for a few months but since then it's hit stride and is doing great.

I had one, sold it as I wasn't that impressed. I recently bought the Mario Kart pack, with Zoo Keeper, and I am in love.

When is the Mario and Luigi game out?
