I remember when someone on this site said "It will do amazing regardless" and "we aren't the customers for this device". Looks like Customers for this device are in another castle.

Perhaps the customer base is in another galaxy or dimension =p

What a sad damage control. 

What damage control when I acknowledge that the system is among the biggest fails together with things no one even remember?

Your saying no one remembers labo? Pretty sure most STEM teachers in America have at least heard of it.

Hah. It's a PEGI 18 device? Wonder what pixelated violence has the classification board in a tizzy.

People said I was crazy when I brought this up as a potential issue for the PSC's sales, but I'm sure it played a role. A lot of parents who might buy this for their kids might be turned off by it.

Wow Snes mini plays ridge racer better than PS1 mini it was in ReciewtechUSA latest video 2 hours ago :(

That video is inaccurate. 

Can you elaborate on that? Don't just say it's inaccurate and then change topics. I want to know why it's inaccurate.

I've heard nothing but bad things about this device, so many weird decisions rolled into one piece of hardware, and that game selection leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Nope, PSMini and Labo (failed less since it may achieve 1,5-2M this year) are two products that failed hard but people remember them. And that there are a lot of other failed products that we don't even remember.

I was very disappointed about this. I pre-ordered it day one, but cancelled as soon as the full lineup was announced. The news only got worse from there.

Although I'm in a PAL region, I'd prefer the NTSC copies of the games. Most games are generally made for the major markets of the US and Japan, and like the case of the SNES Classic, some games never even made it to PAL (Mario RPG, FFVI)

This isn't the only time Sony tried to copy Nintendo and failed.



Pocky Lover Boy!

Probably among them with Labo and some other obscure release we don't even care.

It's really sad to see how rampant "whataboutism" has become, in this era of politics.

Digital Foundry did a great analysis and its a disaster.

Its funny, many of us were critical of the library but thats not even the worst thing about it.

Yeah who’d have thought that shit game library they picked would be the least of the devices problems.
