April NPD: DS breaks a million, PS2 beats PS3

Wow... the DS outsold everything combined...

But I thought that nobody will buy the DSi! I read so many comments here at Joystiq (specially by the Bowser guy) saying that the DSi was a big mistake, and that no one would buy it, specially because the price is higher and stuff...

But to be honest, the DSi is way better than the DS Lite in almost every aspect: bigger and brighter screens, better buttons and shoulder buttons, a clicky d-pad, improved speakers, Wireless G and WPA, cameras, SD card slot, music, sound recorder, DSiWare, internet browser, a way better menu, the matte finish is better too... the ability to change the brightness while playing, a volume rocker...

Yes, the only disadvantage is the lack of a GBA Slot, buy again, if you guys care so much about GBA games, that means that you guys have a decent library of GBA games, and you guys have a GBA system, right? Because if backward compatibility is important to you, you need to still have the GBA system because it allows normal Gameboy games to be played, so I guess you didn't sell the GBA system, right?

I have both a purple GBA and a Famicom edition Gameboy Micro, so, the lack of a GBA slot doesnt really matter. In fact, to new owners, it should not matter too much either: stores doesnt even sell GBA games anymore.

Besides, the DS library is amazing... by now, is easily better than the GBA library... and that's what it really matter.

And here is a pic taken with my DSi: It's a me... Fernando!

I was one of the 433k Platinum buyers, money well spent.

Now I'm in the strangest mood to play n64..

...Slow month huh April NPD?

Haha, holy crap, the PS2 matched the 360, and beat the PS2!

"We can't wait until the N64 and Dreamcast surge back onto the NPD lists."

I wish. Those were my favorite game systems ever.

If there's anymore proof sony needs for a ps3 price cut, this would be it. Although, 360 only beating ps2 by 3k isn't a very good sign either...and they already had a price cut.

Good to see the wii slumping too, but it would be better if someone could capitalize on that decline instead of...well...declining with it.

I don't think we saw Japanese hardware sales last Sunday did we? What happened?

I'm surprised the slight PS2 price cut made this much of a difference in sales, not bad.

Looks like a lot of first time DS buyers picking up some classics with their DSi. Me, I'll thankfully keep my 200 Canadian dollars (Plus tax) and be happy for it - as Civilization Revolution plays just fine on my current DS lite.

Can someone explain to me how Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is #9! Why would anyone buy this game new?

LOLLLL!!!!! almost 3 years into the ps3 life cycle, its predecessor outsold it. what a joke!!!!!!!

Surprised that the DSi sold really well for basically being the DS with modest changes, but I'm not one to talk since I bought the DS Lite after it came out, already having the DSPhat.
