Look like Nintendo can fight off Sony in this round but I wonder if Nintendo can hold em off with the Wii.

And here is the PSP Top 10 (couldn't be bothered formatting for the main article):

CARS $2.112.201 53.476
GRAND THEFT AUTO: LIBERTY CITY STORIES $1.845.437 45.933
MONSTER HUNTER: FREEDOM $1.763.542 44.204
MLB '06: THE SHOW $1.682.668 42.216
FIELD COMMANDER $1.494.936 37.516
DAXTER $1.446.001 36.282
FIFA WORLD CUP 2006 $1.295.443 32.495
NEED SPEED: MOST WANTED $1.203.565 29.892
NBA LIVE 06 $877.668 28.781
SOCOM: FIRETEAM BRAVO $904.998 22.737

Liked the contrast Adam between the PSP and DS sales the DS is pissing all over the PSP in software terms and as you can see that is where the money is made;

SOCOM: FIRETEAM BRAVO $904.998 22.737
Nearly a million dollars made of just 23k sold no wonder why the Nintendo are so financially sound

53 000...that's quite pathetic...and it's cars!!! They really do not have any games out...

Does the software sales total include second-hand games? Probably not. In which case, that'll explain quite a bit. The people that buy loads of games also sell them (I try to keep a pretty constant turnover, only holding on to a few gems), which allows others to buy them, without it affecting the software sales data.

It could well be that every single copy of, for example, GTA3 has done the rounds of 5 or 6 PS2 owners.

Of course that means nothing to Sony, Nintendo, MS or any 3rd party developer since they don't see any of the cash. It's just worth remembering before you try and interpret this data.

It does mean, however, that there's still a lot of PSPs with no games!!!

Everybody chill out!

Heres the real sales data:

Nintendo DS- 79,964,622,070,1186,001.64298+A=X-3.14
