Apples iPod dissagrees with your statement. If you ask me that there's nothing "wrong" with the SONY psp, it just does too many things that other products already do. The DS is different, it's an innovative look at the casual market, LOADED with games (not necesarilly good mind you) that you can pick-up and fiddle with for 5 mins to 3 hours. Nintendo targeted CASUAL audiences, smaller games, almost no load times, creative uses for the stylus. Sony targeted people like me who wanted a jack of all trades and a more "hard core" audience, they ASSUMED that since the PS2 took off like a bat out of hell, that the casual market must be the same. "Oops", is what I'd say. However, many justified the original Xbox as Microsofts "foot in the door", if the PSP is Sony's entry into the handheld market then I'll assume they got more than half there body in. Calling the PSP a failure is a commonly used disaster of a mistake, the PSP continues to make money and continues to sell hardware. Who cares if it's not as much as the DS? |
I have not used the word failure. I am saying the market isn't responding as well to Sony's offering as Nintendo's which is blatantly obvious. Neither the PSP's multimedia functionality nor its gaming functionality is a match for the DS in today's market.
