I agree with what you said on the PS3 but not on the PSP heres why:
PSP is really succesfull (55 M sold), not selling as much as the top competitor doesnt mean you dont have success. Its the DS that has more success then a handheld would normally has after all those years on the market. This gen Nintendo is showing us that the best way to sell consoles is to find a thing that appeal to casual gamers and kids (motion control, touch screen, price). Im not saying there is no hardcore games on DS or Wii but the reason it sells more than the others is because of a much larger audience. I really hope that Sony and Microsoft doesnt go that way to increase sales. Or at least if they go that way I hope they still release as much hardcore title. DS is a good example of having a large audience but also satisfying hardcore needs while Wii no comments... |
Well don't misrepresent my argument. I'm not stating that PSP is unsuccessful but that they have failed to continue competing with the DS. Remember I could only make that argument if I thought that PSP was still in a compeititve situation which given 55 million sold it definitely was (but obviously not anymore).

But they cannot competition with it, because of the hardware. Even if they sell PSP at 100$ it is not aiming for the same market. They would sell more but never like the DS is selling. Casual gamer and kids loves the touch screen, and theres a lot more casual gamer then hardcore gamer.

Well if they realize they can't compete then that leaves them two options. Either stop making systems in the market or try to retake it. PSP Go was not attempt to do that so that is what I'm asking... why release the PSP Go then. Why not just let PSP 3000 stay in there or do that and release a PSP2 next year (or that year). It's just hard to understand their thinking in all of this.
