The PSP is a pretty sorry console when it comes to software sales. I dont' agree with GGE's trolling tactics, but I do agree that the PSP is for all intended purposes a failure from the perspective of what Sony wanted it to achieve. It failed to make UMD a viable format on the market for Sony's portable media ambitions. It failed to usurp Nintendo's grip on the handheld market. It failed to fight piracy. It has failed to compete in software sales. And it has failed to strengthen Sony's relationship with third party developers, in fact it has only cast doubt on the PS3's future for many.
So far the only thing anyone has offered to contest the PSP being a failure is challenging the definition of the word "failure". For the record, I do believe the GC made a profit from day one, did the PSP? And if not, has the PSP selling at a profit now offset the initial losses it incured? And if so, can that monetary gain really be considered a success in lieu of the PSPs failure to do basically everything Sony wanted it to? Can a game console that doesn't sell games really be called a success, or more importantly, argued not a failure?
Naznatips, I respect you more than most members on this forum and respect your opinion, you're more than entitled to enjoy the PSP and hold hope for it. But your defending it as anything other than a dissapointment is a tad worrisome. I think you would benefit not to sully your hands with this debate anymore and swallow your pride on this one, I fear you may harm your credibility if this debate continues.
