And tell me, what facts have you presented? A handful of developers, most of which people could care less about supporting a console which is suppossed to be in its prime.

Yes, this is a handful that no one cares about.

Ubisoft
Namco
NIS
Square Enix
EA
Rockstar
Konami
Sega
Capcom
Activision
THQ
2K Games
Buena Vista Games
Koei

There are almost no other 3rd parties in the entire industry.  What the hell is a good third party then?  You look absolutely ridiculous right now calling these developers "a handful no one cares about." 

The facts I present are all anyone needs, lots of hardware sold and virtually no software sold. Oh my, so successful indeed. The PSP is the ideal of handheld gaming clearly, every console should idealy be justified by just a handful of must have games in the fullness of a console's lifetime.

Software sales are lower than I'm sure Sony would like, but 11 million selling software units isn't "Virutally none."  It's software sales have indeed picked up.  Especially in Japan.

Why do you so adamantly defend what is clearly a sinking ship and a testament to a powerful brand name that once was but no longer is. You're just kidding yourself Nazna. Are a handful of must have games really worth defending a failed venture? Do you actually think the PSP2 will be able to get any more games than what the PSP did given its abismal software sales?

What the hell does anything have to do with brand name?  This is why I hate fanboys.  I don't care about a stupid brand name.  I am defending a good game system.  I wouldn't care if it was made by Atari.  It's still a good system. 

If you want to see how many people are buying PSPs for those games and developers you claim are so wonderful, just look at Software sales vs Hardware. That should be fact enough for you.

You try and justify the PSP by the semantics of what can be called a Success with out providing a single link to show its actually being sold at a profit but then try to spin me as the rhetorictitian for pointing out the clear and obvious fact that this thing is selling virtually no games and has only a fraction of the developers of your average console.

Face it Nazna, you can only defend the PSP for so long. Now that I think about it, there are still people who insist the N-Gage was a great console.

Yes, you're really improving your credibility by comparing a handheld that sold 2 million units lifetime without any software over 500K to a handheld that's sold 26 million in 3 years with 11 games over 1 million.  While we're at it lets compare the Wii to the Virtua Boy and the PS2 to the 3DO.
