why is gba outselling psp

There are a few things I want to say about this whole stats thing. To me, it makes no sense to compare all consoles together at least from different generations. I will try to justify this with which you may or may not agree. For one, Xbox 360 is more expensive than any other console as of the moment. PS2's price has dropped significantly and could be a huge factor for its continuous success. It was also out on the market since Oct 2000 (US) with it's 6th anniversay coming up. By this time, PS2 has earned a reputation of being a good console and many people know about it. Xbox 360 on the other hand is just not quite there yet. There are literally people who don't know that Xbox 360 even exists yet. You'll be surprised because unlike us, parents don't keep track of all gaming industry news. Last christmas when most of the holiday shopping was done, 360s were sold out and many just ignored the fact there is a next gen console on the market. Me for exmaple, I was 12 when PS2 came out. The first time I've heard about it was the end of September 2001. I had a PS1, but never bothered to go online and see if a new console was on the market. In my opinion it takes at least one year after the launch date to spread the word of a new console. This is gonna happen again with PS3 and the price might be another factor for people to reconsider their choice between a PS3 and 360. You think people will look at 1080p capability or HDMI, BluRay.... Face it, most people don't care and I don't know why fanboys keep arguing as to who will win the war. (its not liek parents go on this site to read what we post) Maybe fanboys care but not the majority. (going way of topic) They'll just look at the pricey tag and decide right on the spot with no research/background information whatsoever. (guess which console they'll most likely buy?) There was a statistics done, don't remember where, but it said that casual gamers make up most of the gaming market which are primarily adults and not hardcore games who like me sit here and type comments like this. And just because PS2 is doing better right now, has no direct relationship to how well PS3 will do especially with all the delays and who knows what else. But remember my words: There is no perfect console. Launch PS3s will break just like 360s, there could be more or less due to the complexity of the hardware (8 SPEs *7 active SRY* could be a problem. If developers had a problem with dead rising running on 3 cores, what will it be like with 7 O:) Anyways nuff said. Rofl such an abrupt ending. Oh well.

I thought they would be back to below the PSP like it was before the DS lite came along. Didn't all those dummys who had to buy their handheld again from nintendo already do so in June and July?



I expect September month numbers to be



PlayStation 2 - 290,000 //anticipation for FF12!

Nintendo DS - 202,000

Xbox 360 - 201,000

PlayStation Portable - 160,000 //might drop if PSP price drop announced for xmas.

Game Boy Advance - 150,000

ps2 makes millions for game companies
