Title: So do we all agree that the Nintendo DS/Lite is 'Winning' Christmas?
Post by: MrAngryFace on November 07, 2006, 03:13:22 PM: I've never seen such a strong release list as the DS' through the months of Sept-December. I mean nothing can compare. PS2 comes close, but 360 has what, two good games, and the PSP has a very very small handful as well. So far id rank Christmas performance:

1.) DS & DS LITE
2.) Playstation 2
3.) 360
4.) Playstation Portable
5.) Dreamcast
6.) Jaguar
7.) Gamecube

Seriously, for all the DS Live, I cant even begin to IMAGINE what its like to be a Gamecube owner looking at the new release wall at their local gamestore.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 07, 2006, 03:17:32 PM: You don't win just cause you exist. You have to have a great set of game releases. Honestly, PS3 and Wii both have shit launch librarys.

Happy Feet. Gimme a goddamned break. Dreamcast and PSP taught me what a good launch list is all about.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 07, 2006, 03:18:41 PM: How can they win?! Its just hardware with a crapload of b-list games and maybe one a-list game.

Post by: ToxicAdam on November 07, 2006, 03:18:42 PM: Well, I'm finally buying a DS this Christmas. When that happens, you know a product has hit the mainstream.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 07, 2006, 03:19:27 PM: I've bought most of the ps2 releases, and while VP2 is my rpg of the year, the DS library just keeps getting hit with AWESOME

Post by: Christopher on November 07, 2006, 03:35:28 PM: Seriously though, what is there on that DS list that is so "must have".

I have like 3 DS games, and none really interest me...it's like a system for non games at this moment in time.
Title: Re: So do we all agree that the Nintendo DS/Lite is 'Winning' Christmas?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 07, 2006, 03:39:12 PM: Final Fantasy III, Children of Mana, Castle-MOTHERFUCKING-vania and possibly Yoshi's Island 2 make the DS the console of the holidays.

I'm almost ready to get behind the 360 with Gears of War, but it needs a price drop and Halo 3 first.
Title: Re: So do we all agree that the Nintendo DS/Lite is 'Winning' Christmas?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 07, 2006, 03:41:00 PM: It came out a few days ago. Now I want it. And I still want Clubhouse Games and Tetris DS and Sonic Rush. When I get my free copy of Gears of War, I am going to turn around and sell it for a copy of that and pay off Castlevania.

Title: Re: So do we all agree that the Nintendo DS/Lite is 'Winning' Christmas?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on November 07, 2006, 04:14:00 PM: Oh no question, the DSL is going to own. I expect it to outdo the PS2 actually

1. DS/DSL
2. Wii
3. Xbox 360
4. PSP
5. PS3

PS3 is at the bottom because of shortages, although even if it was more readily available I doubt it would be able to outsell the Wii or 360 due to the price.
Title: Re: So do we all agree that the Nintendo DS/Lite is 'Winning' Christmas?
Post by: MrAngryFace on November 07, 2006, 04:55:06 PM: Melissa is just pointing out that DS is offering more releases than the PSP this christmas season, and while there are many titles specific to certain demographics, there are also many hard hitting big name games that will surely push DS units well past the latest records the DS has already set.

Lolz
Title: Re: So do we all agree that the Nintendo DS/Lite is 'Winning' Christmas?
Post by: Phoenix Dark on November 07, 2006, 04:57:04 PM: 2.3mil between November-December? Seems possible

Nintendo could pull off perhaps the single greatest act of hardware dominance ever seen in videogame history: 10 million hardware units sold (DS, Wii) during the holidays. Damn

Indeed. Although, the 360 is going to sell a ton also.

Bottom line: Sony fucked up

If you ever got some time to kill .. check out videogame forums on Usenet back in the 90's (through Google groups) ... troll haven.

I don't believe you, there is no way you've had a TJHooker (hardcore trolls) before it became cool to have consoles play movies.
