Re:My favorite holiday
Oh please, please someone post a release date for Duke Nukem Forever!
Thing is, no one would believe that. Though a lot of people might well believe the story about a Duke Nukem trilogy for NDS and PSP being released. It may even be true

Re:Academic discussion to meI understand what you're saying, and I will say that it is quite possible that Blu-Ray will become the dominant format, but I think people need to consider how the UMD format was seen initially
August 8, 2005Despite a less-than-promising start for Sony's UMD movie format, Americans have now purchased over half a million of the half-dollar-sized discs since its April release, according to one industry estimate. In comparison, the ubiquitous DVD took a year to reach the 500,000 mark back in 1997. There are no formal statistics to show what tops UMD sales charts, but going by Amazon's figures, Sin City leads all other releases by a comfortable margin.

Aug 31, 2005At the Entertainment Media Expo in Hollywood, Sony executives touted the success of their UMD format. The company said it has already sold 9 million games on UMD and 8.2 million movies. Sony is currently producing 200,000 UMDs a day and future capacity is expected to be 500,000 per day. Sony expects videos to account for more than 60 percent of all UMD sales in the a few years, with an expected 130 million UMDs being sold in 2008.

The fact is that gamers bought a handful of UMD movies after they bought their PSP because of the novelty
Personally, I don't expect either format to die but (at this point in time) I think it is premature to say that the PS3 will lead to the success of the Blu-Ray format. -

Re:Where's the market?
Portable video has demonstratably taken off. UMD movie sales for the PSP are taking off like wildfire and they are just a shadow of whats to come.
A video ipod that connected to the home pvrs would do well in this market and if there were some way of getting the umd videos onto it as well it'll explode. -

Re:It's called the DS upgrade.
lets take a look at your cited sources.
your sources:
http://www.the-magicbox.com/topten.htm
this shows that sales during the first week of august the DS outsold the psp. cool, but if you look at the total numbers for the year, the psp is only behind by 100,000 sales.
also, your link shows that there is a very close gap in the japanese market, but we all know how nintendogs "supposedly" boosted DS sales in that region, so why is the gap so close still?

the article doesnt cite any sources, or give a date for its figures. those could be figures from march for all we know. not your fault, you just didnt realize that is the mark of a bad reporter.
