Title: DS to ship 20 million, PSP Shipments DOWN Post by: TraderJake on June 21, 2005, 03:29:07 PM Earlier Sony announced that they would ship 18 million PSPs by the end of the fiscal year. However recently they have revised their expectations, stating that only 12 million units would ship, a decrease of 33%.
Meanwhile, Nintendo has announced that it is prepared to manufacture 20 million DS units throughout the fiscal year. Source: Nikkei BP (http://www.nikkeibp.co.jp/) Title: Re: DS to ship 20 million, PSP Shipments DOWN Post by: CatchFiveBats on June 21, 2005, 05:44:14 PM Go Nintendo!

Does anyone know why there is no GB/GBC support? I guess I could take a few minutes to look into it, but it's easier to just ask here in case anyone knows offhand.

They said if they had it completeliy backwards compatable that it would be considered a gameboy and thats not what they want..

And they say they are shipping 20 mil but is it going to end up like N-Gage and end up sitting on the shelf waiting for price cuts? BTW N-Gage i now down to 90 bucks. What did it start at 300?
