I don't know if anyone noticed this, but- The DS sales are almost double of the PSP. Also, all the Sony systems combined only beat Wii out by 3,293 systems sold. Can you believe that? Nintendo is so owning Sony in Japan. That generally translates into global domination.

Nintendo is killing Sony in sales. Let's hope the third party developers will pick up on this.

Nintendo is at a very high point and it will continue to go higher. Look at Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 down there. Go Wii.

Wow. THAT'S impressive, considering the DS Lite's success in Japan. When I went to Tokyo train Station, I saw a bunch of kids hunched over this one boy playing Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

Wii shall have a bigger userbase than 360 and ps3 by next christmas and ds will own. Looking at tiger woods Wii, ssx Wii, sonic Wii, even the 3rd parties are trying, that combined with Nintendo's efforts has the gaming industry well and truly pimped and every sony fanboy knows it.
