了解自己想玩乜野遊戲先至係最重要，我鍾意任天堂，自然就要買任記主機了。
雖然我唔鍾意 sony，但係都唔可以完全否定 sony 嘅存在價值，有競爭先至有進步。

SONY官方承認PSP銷售敗於NDS


大根田伸行



根據Sony於今天(27日)發佈的06年第二季度（4－6月期）賬目總結報告，其在遊戲業上的營業額比前年同期下降了29.1%。原因是掌機PSP在日本和歐洲市場銷售情況不理想，加上家用機PS2的遊戲銷售量下降和價格的降低。

PSP主機出貨量為202萬台，比前年同期低了3%，PS2出貨量為254萬台，比前年同期下降了28%。在遊戲軟件出貨量方面，PSP為910萬款，增加了86%，PS2為3300萬款，下降了6%。

最高財務負責人（CFO）大根田伸行在發佈會上承認PSP的銷售額比預計的要差，在日本國內與NDS陷入苦戰。同時他也說到由於遊戲銷售高峰期是在年末，所以到時庫存問題應該可以得到解決。

而且大根田也表示由於PS2已經發售了6年了，所以需求會比較高，因此他預計06年度的出貨量為1100萬台。

Gamers whinged all-year-long at Sony's decision to delay the European launch until September 1st, but in reality the intense hype surrounding the machine built up a must-have aura around the system, and when it launched sales were way beyond everyone's expectations. In the first few days on sale the PSP smashed all previous hardware launch sales figures by a factor of two - and all this despite rampant import sales that Sony had been preoccupied with squashing all year long.

Needless to say, software sales were exceptional, despite serious doubts from the critics who complained bitterly about the load times and the lack of killer apps.

Although the Chart-Track figures are heavily skewed by the presence of mandatory software bundling from Sony, the tactic worked, with total unit sales of 2.63m, or 4.8 per cent of all games sold. By value the picture is even rosier for Sony, with sales totalling some £8.17m, representing 6.7 per cent of the total market value - instantly catapulting it ahead of the GBA market (£6.05m) and almost double that of the DS market (£4.14m). In context, this percentage puts it ahead of mainstream launches of home systems like the N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube and even the Xbox at a similar stage in its life cycle - both in terms of software unit sales and value and even hardware sales. Next to any other handheld launch, the figures are unprecedented whichever angle you look at them.

Game sales wise, you can probably guess that GTA: Liberty City Stories completely ran away with it. In just eight weeks, Rockstar clocked up over 360k, making it the best selling handheld title since Pokemon Yellow back in summer 2000. World Tour Soccer did incredibly well, too, with sales of not far short of 200k, but these figures are somewhat bogus because the game's sales were largely because of Sony's cunning bundle deal which obliged consumers to buy the game with the console for a while - during a period when demand was intense and supply very short.

Beyond that, football titles appear to be the hottest property among PSP owners long starved of decent handheld games in the genre. The arrival of Pro Evolution Soccer 5 in week 47 was very warmly received indeed, with sales of almost 150k - over 20k ahead of FIFA 06, which gives a fair indication of the continuing shift in the balance of power in the all-important football market.

EA's overall performance on the platform was excellent, though, with Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Burnout: Revenge both selling around 100k - two of the biggest sellers on the platform. In general, racing games proved to be a massive lure for the game buying public, with Midnight Club 3, WipEout Pure and Need For Speed Underground: Rivals selling over 50k, and TOCA Race Driver, Crash Tag Team Racing and even WRC not far off that figure - respectable quantities that would be considered successful on most other home systems.

In the 'EG favourites' category there were also some heart-warming successes. Top of the list was the surprise number ten success of the brilliant Lumines (over 70k), while other cracking titles like Ridge Racer (over 90k), Everybody's Golf and Virtua Tennis (both around 70k) also performed exceptionally well.

Even leftfield titles like Archer Maclean's Mercury (over 35k) did reasonably well, and - for once - we don't really have any major sob stories of brilliant underperforming titles. Maybe Frantix and Gripshift deserved to do better (less than 5k each), but they barely had any publicity and were released during the Christmas rush, so it's hardly a shock.

What is a surprise is just how many competing titles there were available in such a short space of time. To have 53 titles on the shelves from September 1st to mid December (13 each from Sony and EA alone) has to represent the biggest array of launch software on any platform, ever, and it's doubtful it will ever happen again. Of course, the massive delay ensured there would be a vast glut, and much of the quality was patchy at best, but Sony made the impact it wanted to.

The interesting thing will be to watch whether the platform's momentum stalls. Certainly, the quality of software has been a major talking point all year, and many question marks remain. Hopefully E3 will provide one or two pointers as to the direction of future PSP output.

You read the article incorrectly. The article is comparing the LAUNCH figures of NDS and PSP in Europe. It's true that PSP sold more units in Europe at launch time when compared to the NDS, but NDS have always been ahead of PSP in TOTAL sales figure. This article is also ridiculous because it used market VALUE. We all know that it costs more to buy a PSP, so even if 70% of the market belongs to NDS, PSP will still win if you go by market value. We have not even taken into account that Sony loses money for each PSP sold while Nintendo MAKES money for each NDS sold.

Anyway we know that NDS has sold over 21M worldwide (Nintendo's announcement), but we can never tell exactly how many PSPs were sold, because Sony always use SHIPPED figures only.

最大問題係篇文用 "總值" (即係數量x價錢), 而且只計推出時銷出的 "總值". PSP賣得貴d,加埋bundle software的售價, 比NDS貴得多, 當然個 "總值" 會高.
