Expetations of forummers (Wii fanbosy) around 2005: Sony's PSP will never sell more than 20 million, yeah it is way to expensive!! Today it sold more than 20 million you know for Sony this is already what they were thinking For those who think the 33 % marketshare (if we neglect GBA sales in the timeframe since DS and PSP launched) of the PSP is a success, because it took away from Nintendo's dominance, there are two good reasons standing against this: First, this percentage will shrink over the course of the next few years and will be most likely around 20 % at the end. Oh you know the future? Who will be the next president of the US? Will it be an idiot like Bush? Second, it doesn't really bother Nintendo if Sony took some marketshare because the overall handheld market sales are most likely at least doubling the GBA sales of 76 million units. The PSP isn't really taking away any revenue or profits from Nintendo's handheld business.
How can you be sure of that? DS would probably sold more than it is doing now |
