PSP is a success financially and as a hand held gaming console. As a music and video player, it is an unqualified failure. UMD's cost more to purchase and manufacture than DVD's and their visual, audio quality is now where near DVD's.
Sony have definitely expanded the handheld market, kudos to them. I guess they failed gamers when dev's started to shovel ports of PS2 games and by the time brain train clones and puzzle games started to arrive, Nintendo had stolen the thunder with the Nintendo DS. And sony lost a vital lead it had built up during the launch.
As a audio and video player, it is an utter failure, people still prefer ipods since it is more portable, rugged and you dont have to flip umds every time you change a movie and Sony never had an answer for iTunes.
Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>
