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.

Little Battlers is Q1 (March), it's within the period I was talking about.  So is ACEP actually, in fact it releases even earlier (Jan iirc).  I did forget about Dissidia 2 though, that's probably going to end up being in the spring or summer.  I think Tales may be done on PSP, with RM3 being the last release.  Tales Studio already has their hands full between PS3 stuff and forging ahead on 3DS.  Maybe we'll still get a Destiny R PSP port though.

But have you looked at PSP's lineup.  It really is like 90% ADV/galgame/eroge/shovelware in Japan already... it's a lot like the end of PCE/SS/DC, only the shooters instead went to 360.
