    Reading it right .. I am actually suprised people bought the DS. I don’t play games or purchase systems. I went out and got my self a psp after my roommate got one. The video features alone are worth it ..

    I dont consider 7% kicking ass.

    And besides Sony is losing money on each PSP unlike Nintendo making money.

    7% true, but DS had a head start dont forget.

    Also i think by now you should know that selling a console at loss does not mean they are losing money. Sony were losing money on the PS2 when they first released it but they were still making a lot of profit. Look at nintendo on the other hand, they are making money off their consoles but they aren’t making as much money as sony.
