It wasnt anything sony did too wrong, it was just that Nintendo got it so right with the DS

Oh, there were plenty of things Sony did wrong. People who say otherwise must have a short term memory.

 

• Piracy - Sony is surprisingly lax on the subject, especially compared to Nintendo. I've met people that actually brag about never having bought a single game for their PSP. And there's not a whole lot stopping them. The DS has piracy problems too, but Nintendo is a lot more active in trying to squash activities that will never truly end.

 

I can elaborate if need be.

 

I think this is the main issue when it came to software support. However, the reason I think Sony didn't bother chasing up on it too much was that it probably helped to sell PSPs. I know a number of people who bought PSPs specifically to hack them and if Sony were making a good profit on the hardware, they were probably happy with the short-term returns. Silly way of thinking if true.
