Forums - Sony Discussion - Sega: NGP will succeed, PSP didn't fail

Baalzamon on 02 February 2011

Because it wasn't a failure.  Just because it didn't keep up with DS doesn't mean it failed.  If you want a failure, look at the PSP GO...sales are horrid for that thing, now that was a failure.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

being outsold by 80M units when Sony boldly predicted a win initially would constitute a failure in my book.  C'mon did PSP ever make money for Sony or any of the 3rd parties?

Really? Did you even read the OP.? LOL

"I would disagree on the point that PSP failed," he said. "For those of us that embraced the portable platform from the beginning we had a very successful and profitable run."

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.

Still, pwned is owned by another name.



Tease.

you cannot pwn the entire game industry that reviews, reports, and views iOS games as MOBILE GAMES. You sir cannot change the view or opinion of the industry. You fail because you don't want to admit that all games on cell phones, MP3 players, and horrid excuses for a tablet PC (when tablets 10 years ago were faster and more reliable) do not consider a mobile game apart of the mobile platform of games. You sir probably think that a 360 title is a handheld game, or a PC game is a console game. Or hell, Dragon's Lair for DVD is a console game when its a TV game.

Get your platforms straight.

 

 

 

And you sir, were owned.

I actually expect 3DS to sell 30M units by the end of 2011!!! C'mon this will sell like Sodas to the average teenager; with it's cool factor 3D sans glasses!

Are you kidding me? 30 Million won't even be made by the start of 2012.

To be honest, whether or not something gets beat by 80 million has absolutely no effect on whether or not companies make money on the product.  In regards to developers, they specifically stated it has been profitable.  I also highly doubt Sony was losing money on the PSP, other than at the beginning, so that would indicate they have 10's of millions of PSP's that they have made profit on.  Whether or not these cover any and all costs from the beginning isn't known, but I wouldn't dare act as if nobody has made money on it.

It's true... didnt EA report generating more revenue on PSP than DS in the last quarter?
