I chucked these numbers into excel and here's what I've come up with:
Total:
DS 27 games, 10 1st party, 17 3rd party
PSP 32 games, 7 first party, 25 3rd party

DS total software sales 3,148,288
PSP total software sales 2,196,119

DS 1st party software sales 2,420,040
PSP 1st party software sales 703,776
DS 3rd party software sales 728,248
PSP 3rd party software sales 1,492,343

DS sales per game 116,603
PSP sales per game 68,629
DS sales per 3rd party game 42,838
PSP sales per 3rd party game 59,694

So DS software sales are overall higher, but it is because Nintendo games just sell so much. In fact almost half the games sold between the 2 systems are 1st party Nintendo games. The thing with these numbers though is that the launch games have a bit of a monopoly on the sales. Mario and Wario account for almost half the DS total, and other big sellers like Pokemon Dash and Project Rub were DS launch games. Same with the psp and Hotshots, Ridge Racer, Metal Gear and Dynasty Warriors all available within days of launch.

The psp is definitely doing better on the 3rd party front with 50% more games and double the sales. In fact just looking at raw numbers it is a clear winner. The thing is, the PSP has received a higher quality of 3rd party game. FWIW If you ignore the psp big hitters(no DS 3rd party big hitters yet) the sales are fairly comparable. Also, if you ignore launch games, then both systems have done similarly well now that Naruto DS is pulling out numbers comparable with Tales of Eternia. In fact Naruto alone has increased the DS 3rd party total by over 10%.

barely 1 million difference and GT4 and GTA and BF Modern combat haven't even been released for PSP yet.

And a new Mario, and Zelda, and Pokemon, and Advance Wars, and Mario Kart, and Nanostray, and Castlevania, and FF 3/CC, and...

havent been released for the DS yet.

That's why PSP doesn't look incredibly pitiful now, DS doesn't have anywhere near the games it will have yet. What does PSP have coming? A UMD release of an FF movie? A GTA2 remake?

o let me guess your gonna give me bs that this only counted japan? WHO CARES the us sales are probably similar same ration

Yeah, its only $70 more and has less games

psp > ds 4 lyfe

It's hard to be against abortion at times like this.

What the heck? There was barely any headstart for Nintendo in Japan.

No, I'm almost positive it's a GTA2 remake. I dont know if they were going to scale it up to 3d or not (but I doubt it)

Rockstar would have to be smoking some pretty heavy stuff to release a 2D GTA game for PSP...

Not really. With such limited techincal specs, the PSP can't push such huge environments like the PS2 can without having loads and loads of loading times. If this were near the end of the end of the PSP life cycle, like 4 years down the road, I could see it happening, mostly because developers know the hardware really well. This is still only 6 months after the system release, and Rockstar knows the game will sell of brand name alone. The problem is it's not exactly something consumers want. So either they choose a quick loading, free roaming 2D version, or a slow, ugly (graphic wise), glitchy 3D version.

Personally I think I'd take the former.

Or if they couldn't get the game to work with a reasonable battery life on the PSP. GTA could have such huge environments because it was continuously reading from the disc. How on Earth is Rockstar gonna get GTA to work if they can't continuously load from the disc? If they try using this technique, it will drain the battery in no time at all. Perhaps GTA PSP will come bundled with an extra battery.

You DS owners are funny! Carry on kids, I'm enjoying your feeble anti PSP arguements In fact, I think I will link this thread to my PSP forum just so we can all laugh at you kids and your 'PSP suckz DS rulez 4ever!!' attitude

Yeah, funny you would find that kind of thing on a Nintendo Forum.

I can tell you won't be around for much longer.

Jeez, it's like Sancho with grammar skills and an attitude problem.

Paige, why are you wasting your time trolling Nintendo fans? Don't you have a little brother and an iguana to bother?

What, I should expect every member of a Nintendo forum to write like a ten year old and sound off at all none Nintendo hardware without any understanding of what they're talking about? Yes, I suppose you're right.

This forum gives a whole new meaning to the word 'insular'.

Considering many members of this board have Xboxes PS2 and PSPs I don't see you're point.

octorok and roll

Thesaurus.com rocks, doesn't it?

Personally I think we're parochial or hackneyed.

Where is this PSP board? I've never seen one ouside of IGN or Gamespot or something. Sony doesn't seem to have nearly as many fan-sites as nintendo, or even MS.
