I just want to correct, third best selling handheld. Sheesh people like to act as if there isn't another company with a few fingers on the market.

"iOS gamers on their iPhones, iPod touches and iPads account for a hefty 40.1 million of the estimated 77 million Americans who do mobile gaming. Sony’s PSP accounts for a mere 18 million mobile gamers. Nintendo’s DS family of portable gaming devices account for 41 million gamers (some overlap exists naturally of course). With Apple’s iOS clocking in at less than 1 million less gamers than the Nintendo DS, it has nearly caught up. "

"In European markets, the Nintendo DS family holds a much more comfortable lead over iOS. However, the PSP is behind iOS in the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium."

It is possible that Sony will never catch up.

umm... cell phone games are mobile games, not handheld. Different market. Apple might say stuff like "we  are apart of the handheld market" but they aren't. They are the same market as my Droid, my old LG Dare, my dad's Razer, and whatever that free pos my mom has. Even though we haven't review any games, from my knowledge, all iPhone, Droid etc goes under mobile reviews, not handheld. Every video game website has cell phone games under mobile.

If iTouch, iPhone and iPad aren't handhelds then the PSP isn't either.


The Ipod is made to be centrally MP3 players, iPhone a phone, and iPad a tablet PC trying to revive a dead type of productivity PC. The PSP's cental focus has always been its gaming abilities.

Central alongside its media playback. Unless of course you forgot that they also sold movies for the PSP as well? You're just trying to make it seem as if Sony didn't have it's portable lunch eaten by Apple yet again. I mean this is understandable, why else isn't the PS3's sales figures generally compared directly to the Wii 1:1? Its all an epeen defense mechanism.

 

im basing everything off what the entire game industry considers iOS games, which are mobile games.
