It is what I call: "smartphone effect". 2005 was very different from 2012 regarding mobile gaming.

You say the market has changes a lot: the 3DS sales (1.3mil or around that in the same timeframe) would suggest otherwise. The only thing that's changed is the relative marketshare.

I'm talking PlayStation related products only, not overall products. The market has changed for PlayStation products or at least their handhelds. Also, just because you brought the 3DS into this, how well did it do it's first Christmas or was that with the price cut?

The market has changed for expensive dedicated mobile gaming handhelds.

I have a chart comparing the Wii and Wii U's sales week-to-week in Excel...I really should make one for the Vita and PSP (as painful as it will be to look at).

Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

:D

That's harsh but it is what it is

It's understandable because the PSP was overpriced at $250 aswell

You would see simiar results if the PS4 launched at FIVE HUNDRED & NINETY NINE U.S DOLLARZ

I bet you my life that the PS4 at FIVE HUNDRED & NINTEY NINE U.S DOLLARZ would sell LESS than what the PS3 sold at FIVE HUNDRED & NINTEY NINE U.S DOLLARZ

It was overpriced then and it's still overpriced now

that's how i see it..
