and besides that look at europe the PSP has sold more units than the 64, NES, SNES, DC, Mega Drive, Xbox or Gamecube have in Europe and the 360 won't cath it either and saying that it's done that because it's a handheld and cheaper won't cut it, because the GBA has been greatly outsold buy the PSX and PS2 eventhough it was cheaper too..
so for a first handheld of Sony, you should rather call it a succes than a failure..

Nintendo's first handheld, the Gameboy, did good, so Sony's Playstation Portable, being Sony's first handheld, is no excuse for its low sales. They need to focus more on games. Everything these days can play music, videos, display pictures, and surf the Internet. Everything! $40 MP3 players from China can do almost everything the Playstation Portable can, and almost just as good too, except for the games! Ever since Sony went "multimedia," their hardware sales have decreased! |
The Gameboy did good in 10 yeasr , you should never forget that . Also , the GB had absolutly no rival back than , while the having to race with the fastest selling console of all ( DS ) is not a small thing . Also , the GB had more redesigns , from wich 3 main models existed : GB , GBP and GBC .... so yeah , its easy to say that the GB did well , when it had a 10 year long lifecicle ...
