I'm afraid there are no condolence prizes for comming in second palce in the foray of the global market. Just because a console did as well as it did in spite of insurmountable odds doesn't make it any more of a success or an asset.

I have to point this out. Related to your first sentence. It might not have a prize for coming second place to you. You don't make money from it and you can't brag about it in forums for coming up in second place. But it is a huge prize for sony. I garanmtee you that. I was just told that all the money the psp is making could be redirected to you. Sorry... I told them not to do it since you don't want a second place prize.

On your second sentence, it surely does.
