In the handheld market Sony is doing fantastically. They have come into a Nintendominated sector of the industry and seen respectable sales first go.

Of course in the home console market its the opposite, overwhelming first to overwhelming last............

That's probably the most popular excuse why the PSP couldn't beat the DS, but it's seriously flawed. Remember that in the mid '90s Sony entered a market dominated by Nintendo and Sega and crushed them both with their first go. The Playstation did this without having a known brandname.

The PSP however was released at the peak of the Playstation popularity and every 3rd party publisher was backing it right from the start with their big names like GTA and MGS. The PSP had the most popular brandname in videogames and much stronger 3rd party support than the DS.

If you consider these circumstances the PSP clearly hasn't done fantastically, in fact the contrary is the case. It failed to meet the expectations of analysts and more important, Sony itself. Especially in software sales.

 Actually the barnd was SONY , and that saied a lot ... also , back that Sega and Nintendo where pretty close ... I would go as far as saying that Sega could have won the 5th gen , if Sony wouldent have entered . Also , the Nintendo portable market had 15 years to fully evolve alone on the market ...
