I should have been more thorough in my original explanation, and also mention the PSP 3000 release fact (not just explaining DSL low weekly #, which were caused by DSi coming soon fact).
Sorry for answering your "non-question". :)[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

I wasn't actually questioning the PSP3000 numbers (ie. we should have all known why)...I was trying to make clear that your initial statement made it seem that the PSP only out did the DS due to pent up DSi demand...but that clearly isn't the case since the PSP numbers are so much higher than normal.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids

I believe VvGInfidel has answered your question correctly. What is more interesting for future weekly sales is whether the fact that PSP-3000 "scanline" screen will do harm to PSP weekly sales (mean no sustained weekly sales boost) or not (still got 5-10 weeks boost caused by PSP 3000 release).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

For those who wonder why this happened (PSP:DS=5:1), remember that DSi are going to be launched in Japan early November (Nov 1, 2008, IIRC).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
