PSP being on top even though we know ngp is coming pretty soon is interesting.

MmaFan-Qc5343d ago

the NGP(PsVita) will probably sell like hotcakes in japan.

VampiricDragon5343d ago

not at first. The most powerful system never outsells the weaker, cheaper option in the long run ever

SilentNegotiator5343d ago

If it launched with Monster Hunter, maybe.

Happythedog5343d ago

Every gamer I know is saving to buy it.

ASTAROTH5343d ago (Edited 5343d ago )

You said it clearly.... gamer not fanboy.

Now you will see fanboys start disagreing. LOL.

VampiricDragon5343d ago (Edited 5343d ago )

Doom and Gloom on generalizations and false info/polls isnt really helping anyone nor are the useful.

An old egm issue. feb 2005 issue 188. The question was asked of the ds.

What do you think of it so far? ( At this point it had an entire holiday plus january of time)

A: "hmm, can you say virtual boy 2? The ds seems gimmicky to me. Its just akward to use and The launch games are so weak. I have a feeling that hardly any game makers will invent novel uses for the system

A: "The launch titles are dissapointing" "It seems the system is 80 percent old news"

Looking back how silly do shoe and crispin sound now?

History repeats itself it seems with people after 4 months of being on the market predicting disaster.....

EEDAR jesse " The 3ds is on the 100+ mil pace. People should learn not to doubt nintendo"

Yet time and time again it happens

LiamIRL825343d ago

People are being very unfair towards the 3DS. When the good games start coming only then will it gather steam.

spektical5343d ago

i think the problem is parents are a lot more aware of the health risks, specifically eye ones, associated with 3D gaming. Our eyes are not accustomed to seeing images projected in a 3 vector space.

FAGOL5343d ago

Not only that. Alot of people are waiting for the xmas holidays to buy one for their kids. I don't see why there would be sky rocket sales at this time. Nintendo just got the 3DSs name out their so people know what to save up for.

Happythedog5343d ago

Yeah, People always hate it's sad. When Pokemon and Mario come out its over. I'm not even a big nintendo fan but when those two games come out...........it's a wrap.

AdvanceWarsSgt5343d ago

Especially Pokemon.

Nintendo still has that trump card up their sleeve, and since they finally have a graphically capable system, when full 3D Pokemon battles are shown, you won't even be able to see a damn 3DS on display at any electronics or gaming store.

That's how fast those things will sell.

VampiricDragon5343d ago

screw full 3d pokemon. Thats not the art style of it. Its sprites like it or not.

Gamefreaks has said the same

AdvanceWarsSgt5343d ago

Ever since the inception of Pokemon, people have been clamoring for full 3D battles.

Now, I'm not saying GF will do it immediately, I'm just how massive a positive response Nintendo would receive in sales if a Pokemon game with 3D battles were put on the market.

NLGSean5343d ago (Edited 5343d ago )

Its funny... When will we see articles about the 3DS beating the PSP in the US?

Here, I will just add one... complete with typical n4g replies...

US Hardware Sales for Week of 21st May 2011 - 3DS beats PSP yet again!

3DS: 34,180
PSP: 19,536

Poster #1 Comment: The 3DS killed PSP in the US. (1 agree/95 Disagrees)

Poster #2 Comment: Ah BS, its VGChartz... not reliable. (100 Agrees/1 Disagree)

Poster #3 Comment: Yeah, besides the PSP is beating the 3DS in JAPAN! (200 Agrees/1 Disagree)

AWBrawler5343d ago

OnePiece debuts at the number one spot in Japan, and the sales get a 40% boost. Just imagine when OOT, KIU, Mario, RE:R, and MGS:SEtNS comes out!!!!!

New Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Key Art From a Retail Poster

This image basically confirms that in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon we will be seeing an alternate story. While it has been stated by Nintendo multiple times that this was the case, they were never really clear on it.

Why in fucks name did the designs for the mc make it through the planing stages of development? They are by far the worse thing pokemon have produced.

MeteorPanda3041d ago

but...you customize your own characters now? l dont like that boys neck. holy shit it's about as strong as a twig

Antnee5343041d ago

I understand that, but if you pick a boy you get the worse choices.

MeteorPanda3040d ago

oh for sure. The franchise just shits on the male version more and more per new entry, lol

Antnee5343040d ago

It's so weird being that the player base is 70/30 male you know. You would think that they would give the males a better choice selection.

Every time I see 'released on Steam' my heart sinks. Why don't these guys release on GOG instead?
