It'll be a big list, and quite painful because Valkyria Chronicles II is there too, love that game even with the crappy gakuen story and the bad character design. Now:
Biggest Busts on handhelds. Well this list is quite hard to do for two things. First handheld games have a much smaller budget than console games, so a number that could be bad for a console could be good for a handheld, and second most people will use the argument of “digital sales aren’t counted” But because few companies give number for their digital sales we’re going to use good ol’ retail sales. Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP): Ok, guys. The main character is plain and boring, the female lead is “Mary Sue 101”, the “best friend-rival-Gary Oak-Vegeta –thing” is bad, the story involves predictible twists with a villain that has a spike on his crotch. But everything else is awesome, from the technical point of view is way better than the first game so there isn’t any justification for just 340k units sold, not even the half of sales that the PS3 version has. SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 (PSP): Shooters are the king in consoles, but not in the consoles, despite some good reviews this game only put 270k units in the market. Modnation Racers (PSP): Yep the console version didn’t set the charts on fire, but the handheld version is doing worse, even wit the inclusion of this game in some bundles the numer is stuck at 220k units sold with few hopes to recover.
Dante’s Inferno (PSP): Why this game exists is a mystery. Sure EA push a lot in the marketing department for the 3 versions but with just 110k units sold this version is pretty much a waste of money, talent and resources.

Fine, I don't care anymore, it doesn't seem to be worth it. If you want to make seperate list for console then be my guest but at least label it as such because it is misleading.
