what circumstances, some sites were predicting 400k for the PSP this month, many people were saying it wasnt selling at all in their stores. The PSP has lost tons of momemtums coming to December, that number is fine.

The number's terrible and so is the continual downward spiral considering the platform saw arguably it's best software lineup since 2005 and a platform refresh with GO. Sony's huge PSP push this year has been a complete bust, hardware's still sliding and software's abysmal. I'm not sure what they need to do, or what they can do even, but if they don't do something they'll have a dead platform this time next year.

It's fine. And it's already next year, it's still fine.
All it needs is a price drop and consistant game release.
|
How can software get more consistent than this year? Especially when nearly everything this year bombed?
I'm sorry, I think we're heading towards the point of no return here. Sony got all the big publishers to line up with core oriented games (PSP had a better 3rd party lineup that Wii even this fall), they focused on a comprehensive digital library, they released a premium digital-only refresh and all it still failed. I'm not sure what they should do, games certainly didn't work, digital didn't work. Massive pricedrops might work, but then what are they going to prop up those PS3 losses with?
I'm starting to think we're going to see PSP2 sooner than anticipated...

Replace all you have said, put PS3 in there, and it's 2008 over again. I have seen this before, i have heard the cry for Sony to kill the PS3, it's still hearand doing great. The PSP needs software and a price cut. That's all.
|
You're over-generalising. PS3 was never in the sort of software sales malaise that PSP finds itself in in America now.
PSP has software. It didn't matter, sales are even worse than last year when it didn't have software. It's a dead platform walking...
|
Well, there goes your argument, the PSP in 2008 had plenty of Software compared to 2009.
|
lol. In the past six months alone 2009 has had Gran Turismo, LittleBig Planet, MotorStorm Arctic Storm, Jak & Daxter Lost Frontier, Loco Roco Midnight Carvival, Rock Ban unplugged, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Soulcalibur BD, Tekken 6, Assassin's Creed Bloodlines, Dissidia FF, Persona, Disgaea 2, GTA Chinatown Wars, the usual EA Sports lineup, the usual SCEA sports lineup, plus tons of minis/PS1 games... what did 2008 have it it's last six months?
|
It sounds like great line up, huh
GT = bad games by most, still sold over 1 million
LBP= fans hated it because of lack multiplayer
Motor Storm= Dead series
Assassin Creed= Terrible, just horrible
Dissidia= 2008 game, but came to US in 2009
GTA China Town= Port from DS, great game though.
It was just one after another, The PSP just couldnt get the game like MH in the US. 2009 was bad, but it survive and willdo well, the PSP needs its own game, game made for it, not crappy version of its HD brother.
