Why can't I compare home consoles with portables? Pretty much every way to compare the Nintendo DS to the PSP is similar to the comparisons to the Nintendo Wii and the PS3/XBox 360:
- Processing Power: The Nintendo DS and Wii are argued to be a full generation behind their competition
- Price: The Nintendo DS and Wii sold at historically acceptable levels whereas their competition sold at a much higher price
- Third party support: The Nintendo DS and Wii started out with poor third party support.
- Development Costs: Nintendo DS and Wii games are dramatically less expensive to develop than their competitions games
- Media Format: The Nintendo DS and Wii favoured a conventional format while their competition supports a new movie format
Even games are nearly identical, being that the PSP had a ton of ports from another console as well as new exclusive Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Grand Theft Auto games.
Anyways, this is all unimportant to the core part of my last post ... MrStickball claimed that "No system has ever, ever, started out with a decent marketshare, and gone on to totally dominate the marketshare" which is obviously false being that 40% is a decent marketshare (in particular when you consider that it launched in Europe 6 months after the Nintendo DS) and it is falling towards (and will likely) hit the dominated 25% marketshare soon enough.
