The reason the PSP is labeled a failure by some is that the expectation was for the PSP to outsell the DS and have the highest marketshare. It did neither. It was a financial success for Sony. It's performance in Japan continues to be impressive. It provided much needed profit as the PS2 started to fade the PS3 was slow to take off. However it did not achieve what was expected. To say it did would be revisionist history.
