Why is everyone so down on the PSP. For nearly the whole year its sales has been > 360 or PS3. At times even better than Wii. Compared to DS it sucks, but, compared to any non-Nintendo handheld is has been a huge success.
It is still making $$ for Sony, not only in games, but other entertainment venues. I would think Sony could only consider it a success.
Here it is compared to Xbox and Gamecube. Xbox considered to be ok, even though money loser, and Gamecube considered to be a loser even though it made a lot of profit.
GRAPH = Much higher sales at same point in life and trending higher to have a much larger lifetime sales.
Now, compared to the X360 and PS3. Both money losers, so far.
GRAPH2 = Same thing.
PSP is not a losing product. Sure it didn't touch the DS. But, it has take a large % of the market from Nintendo handhelds, much bigger than ANY previous competitor.
Expect a PSP2. They will 'fix' the hardware areas that caused it to not beat the DS and certainly focus on reducing the entry price to sub $200 out the gate.
