Why does Sony continue to abuse the PSP brand?

How anyone can call a 60 million selling console a FAILURE is beyond me,

They could look at it's software sales.

Such a failure that it is still churning out tons of good software?  I dont buy it.  The industry obviously does not believe it is a failure, so why should I?

Besides, we are not talking about software in the this thread, but the PSP brand.  The brand is strong enough to stand on its own.

Outside Sony themselves, western support is deader than Wii.  There's still a decent little Japanese software market though, which is why you still see projects coming from there.  But really, the majority of PSP software produced today is niche galgames and ADVs... it's a lot like latter day Dreamcast, Saturn or PC Engine.  After March, there's pretty much nothing of note coming but the long awaited Agito.

How can you say that when it´s pretty comon in Japan to announce a game that is going to be released in three months and when when most of the games that get announced from Japan every week are actually PSP games?

Dissidia 2, Agito and Little Battlers are obviously the big games for 2011 but i'm sure we will see lot of mid-tier franchises in 2011 like Ace Century (actually announced), some Tales of spin-offs and more 200k sellers.
