360's negatives :

successor coming on in 1-2 years time

low first party to support 2 consoles

MS would have a stiff competition next generation so they might shift resources away

PSP's negatives :

bad software sales as a result software support dropping

 

I'm confused, how do these negatives not apply to the psp as well?  Especially since the Xbox successor is nothing but speculative, but we know that a psp2 is going to be revealed at sometime this year?  And psp2 won't have stiff competition from the 3ds?  So Sony wouldn't need to shift resources?  

Also, don't really need a first party to keep supporting an old console.  Sony has barely supported the ps2 at all since the ps3 came out.  Ps2 had some big first party games the first year the ps3 was out, after that all the ps2 got from sony themselves was crappy psp ports.  I don't know if I would really call that support.  Third parties are the primary supporters of older systems after new ones come out.  

check again,it was an edit mistake.i have included the succesor for psp's negatives too

PSP2 would have a stiff competition but as you see PSP's positives,SONY has tremendous first party support and they have been known to support platform way after they peak.SONY would shift resources but they have enough in the bag to continue to support PSP as you can see with the PS2.

and if you think SONY hasn't supported PS2 since PS3 came out then please go check again,GOW2 came on PS2 after PS3's release.MOTORSTORM,MLB,SINGSTAR,etc came out too.yeah it wasn't like the PS2's peakdays but it was still supported and ports or not,atleast people were buying it.

 

"Third parties are the primary supporters of older systems after new ones come out."

 

you seem to talk in general then go check how third party or first party suppported older consoles like XBOX,GAMECUBE,GAMEBOY when their succesor came out.they didn't support them so much

 

and please leave lifetime numbers
