No, they are NOT the same game. Good try, though.

I don't understand why you get so defensive about all this stuff. I'm not "trying" anything - that was exactly how the games were listed at Video Game Chartz - Nintendo - Sony - Microsoft - The Most Comprehensive Videogame Charts in the World.

Regardless of if they are the same game or not, the *other* list I posted shows the DS software sales heads above the PSP software sales, so whatever.

[starman]

No, it clumps two games into one which really isn't the right thing to do, is it?

[jokell82]

I'm not hip to all the details of Pokemon releases, but from what I understand the two are basically the same game with only minor variations - just like all Pokemon releases have been. I don't see the problem with counting them together, but if you do whatever. It's not that big of a deal.

The main point is that the DS software sold almost double the PSP software - so regardless of whether or not the DS or PSP had the top title the DS is still beating the PSP in sales.

/remember, not a Nintendo fanboy

No, dude. My kids have the games. They're DIFFERENT. You can spin it any way you want, but they have TWO UPC CODES.

PFFT. Not only are they two UPC codes, they're for TWO DIFFERENT PLATFORMS!

How are they for different platforms?

[jokell82]

Man you really need to chill out about all this. I was going off of one website, and like I said it doesn't even matter. The DS software outsold the PSP software by almost double, there's no need to argue over whether or not to include two titles together.

And btw, unless your kids can read Japanese, they don't have the games. They just came out this week in Japan.

What's funny is that I quoted a web site that split the two titles up separately and you know what? That's the right thing to do.

The DS software DID NOT outsell PSP software by "almost double". That's how Nintendo spins it. If you look at the chart I posted, you'll see that not only did the two titles NOT sell the same number together, but they sold LESS than FF VII: CC.

And I means that my kids have similar DS titles where you have to buy separate titles. (eg: Nintendogs, Diamond and Pearl, etc.)

I also love how Nintendo spins the Nintendogs numbers. Three separate games but they'll lump it as "one title".

You fell for it. I didn't.

Click the link. One's for the DS, the other for the GBA. Howver, magically, they're "one title"

EDIT: Re-reading that, I think they posted the wrong images

My point still stands. Lumping two games into one isn't the right way to do things.

[starman]

I'll reiterate:

1. [PSP] Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - 487,000 / NEW
2. [NDS] Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon: Toki no Tankentai - 300,000 / NEW
3. [NDS] Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon: Yami no Tankentai - 269,000 / NEW

Note how one sold 30,000 LESS than the other.

I did click the link. These are the games:





Look like DS games to me.

They look like two different titles to me.

[icruise]

They are (although only subtly so, as with most of these Pokemon double releases), but they're not for different platforms, which is what you said.

[jokell82]

Oh my freaking god get over it. So you have a site that separates them and I have a site that lumps them together - so freaking what? It's obvious that they are two different UPCs and that they are sold separately, the point is that they're essentially the same game with a couple of minor changes. That's how Pokemon games are released.

If you don't want to lump them together that's fine, the DS software sales still trounced the PSP software sales.

PS2 - 96,717 - 121,510,055
Wii - 79,388 - 9,323,137
PS3 - 22,322 - 2,049,886
X360 - 4,170 - 1,575,336
GC - 174 - 21,331,780
GBA - 102 - 47,307,695

So yes, the PSP is definitely doing well as of recently, but I'd hardly call it dominating.

Well, you believe what you want.

If the same chart lumps all of Final Fantasy XIII's separate titles as one game, I wonder if the Nintendo fanboys will cry about that. It would be interesting.

The site I linked showed a box for the DS and a box for the GBA.
