The ps3 was a disaster also. It is a shame. after 2 generations sony has fallen in 3rd place.

However the new next-gen console wars has just begun.. Nintendo will enjoy their success with the wii but if the games don't get better this may be a problem.

UMD movies are for suckers...no one buys them.

Pokemon's already got over 6 million copies sold to NSMB's 9.5 million and has only been out in the US for like 6 days and hasn't even released in Europe yet... Shouldn't be too long now. However that's both Diamond and Pearl's sales together.

But how many buy both?

You'd be surprised.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-27-2007, 06:00 PM

I don't count the two together, and neither does the NPD world records, even if they are practically the same damn game.

If New SMB is at 9.5 million, its only 1.5 million from breaking Super Mario 64 which is #8 on the top ten selling of all time.

i loved new super mario bros but it wasn't as good as the other mario games but one damn find good game..

*Brodie* · 04-27-2007, 09:25 PM

Define "THE OTHER" mario games.

If you think it's worse than "Mario is Missing" you're wrong.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-27-2007, 10:58 PM

other mario games like mario 3 or mario 64.. New super mario bros didn't have anything new but it was a good mario bros platformer which bought back the classic mario bros sidescrolling we have missed for years since the old days.

It was also way too easy but still was a little challanging near the end..

PS4 in 2010?

Peanut · 05-03-2007, 08:36 PM

How would that be the PS4? They're not even changing the chipset! It would be more like a PS3 Elite, than anything else.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 05-03-2007, 09:49 PM

Ya. it's a redesign of the ps3.

**GK Punk** · 05-03-2007, 11:01 PM

Cool, I'll buy a PS3 in 2010 then.

yes, you'd definitely be surprised. ever since the days of the first pokemon many people were actually buying both versions to compensate one another for game completion. that's before the induction of wifi, though. although if you swing by places like gamefaqs or something, you'd notice that there's still a good amount of people getting both.

waste of cash, if you ask me.

Peanut · 05-03-2007, 11:29 PM

I bought both, and I don't think it's a waste. DS games are dirt-cheap anyways.

wutever floats your boat. but dirt cheap? man how about sending some of that cash this way? i guess if you compare them to games on other consoles, lol, the logical conclusion is that they're typically the cheapest. but still, i wouldn't pay 70$ (assuming you got'm for $34.99) for both copies.

Hear, hear. Dirt cheap, maybe compared to PS3 games (about $59-69 a copy around here, just buying two of them when I bought my PS3 nearly broke me)... but even still I wouldn't go that far.

Though game pricing is a funny thing. Let's go back 10 years or so. I remember Dragon Warrior IV for regular NES retailing for $59.99, and Chrono Trigger for SNES retailing for an unheard of $79.99 at Toys'R'Us.

We're actually living in a good time, folks.

bullet · 05-03-2007, 11:56 PM

haha, i remember when kirby's dreamland cost 60 bucks, too.

but i would've thought the ps3 would have broken you before you even considered the games...heh.

I bought the $500 20 gig model (vs. the $600 60 gig model), then ripped out the 20 gig hard drive and plugged in a 120 gig Fujitsu hard drive. Works great.
