Definitely. They were happier last year when they had more % though ;-)koam said:Nintendo: 1,552,341 - 52.06%
Sony: 905,868 - 30.38%
Microsoft: 523,441 - 17.55%
I think Nintendo is happy
It think you're being a bit too hard on GC & GBA, given both platforms have almost nothing in terms of new development and future prospects going. The fact they're even somewhat keeping pace is amazing in itself. How is GBA holding compared to PSone's second Christmas after it's successor platform hit (2001)? Was PSone still outselling PS2, GC and Xbox at that point?sonycowboy said:A few comments on HW sales
-------------------------------------
3) GBA is not that incredible, IMO (923,664 / 1,198,489 / 1,186,667 / 1,117,175 were the sales the past 4 years in November). Still, it's a bit higher than I thought as I thought DS would be higher and eat into the GBA sales more.
7) The Gamecube is also incredibly disappointing. 280k is it's lowest total in December, ever. By a big amount. ( 647k / 425k / 751k / 350k were it's sales the past 4 years).

GitarooMan said:I think they probably are too, but the software sales might not be as great for them. I'll be curious to see how PSP/DS software sales match up, considering the HW is so close

littlewig said:Does anyone know why the US hasn't embraced the DS and PSP this year like the other regions have?
I find it weird that Europe is about to surpass the installed base for both these handhelds in the US and it was released later, especially for the PSP.
Why haven't people made the switch from GBA to the new handhelds?
Mrbob said:A ton of 44 dollar GBA units sold through Walmart. Makes the GBA number even less impressive. GBA down big YoY.

that Fire Emblem thingy.
And waffles. LOVE waffles.
Not banned anymore it seems
DarienA said:If folks don't find the sales of the PSP impressive considering how much the thing is... well... poo on you.
Mama Smurf said:Wow, look at those PSP numbers at twice the cost! Basically the same as the DS!
Wow, look at those DS numbers with half the graphical power! Basically the same as the PSP!
It's a pointless argument. You just have to go on the numbers, you can argue it either way just as well.
Walmart numbers are extrapolated useing statistical analysis.I thought NPD doesn't track Walmart numbers.
Sony expects to sell 2.5 mln-3 mln PSPs this holiday season
SAN FRANCISCO: Sony Corp. plans to sell between 2.5 million and 3 million PlayStation Portable handheld video game devices in its first North American holiday season, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment America said.
''We're going to try to double the installed base between now and the end of the year,'' Kaz Hirai, Sony Computer Entertainment America president and chief executive, told Reuters in a telephone interview.
Hirai said the company had sold about 2.3 million PSPs in North America as of the end of September.
Hirai also said Sony is expecting to sell 2.5 million to ''a tad below 3 million'' units of its industry-leading PlayStation 2 console in North America between now and the end of 2005.

What were it's November 2001 numbers? And what were the the Nov numbers the previous four years?sonycowboy said:The PSOne outsold the Xbox & GC until then end of 2002. The PS2 killed it in 2001 with some monster sales, but the PSOne also did phenomenally well the that year.
Don't go overboard now, NoA was and probably still is really really scared by the psp.soundwave05 said::lol Holy shit at Sony's PSP estimates.
They're not even going to come close.
The DS in North America is really just icing on the cake. Releasing DS was worth it for Nintendo just to kill the PSP in Japan.
Even if Nintendo never released the DS in North America, the GBA still would've destroyed the PSP.
Oblivion said:Remember, there's still Mario Party 7. And though I detest those Mario Party games, they're quite popular and have always sold a lot when released.
