That's still not a fair comparison, though, as handhelds have historically had lower attach rates that consoles. Regardless of how much money Pokemon makes, the success of the PSP still lies in how much money it makes for Sony.

Money being profit - not revenue.

Even with the redesigned PSP, I can't imagine Sony is making much money off each unit (if any at all). Maybe the equiv of 1 - maybe 2 titles.

Software is the way to make profit - hardware is the way to have lots of revenue (at a much lower margin).

 

 

 Sony mad profit of the 'normal' PSP, and the Slim PSP has cheaper hardware. The PSP is a profitable system for Sony, but yeah, unless software sales magically rise, it won't be something that makes billions for Sony.
