well the way the xbox made the way ready for the 360 so does the psp for the psp2 |
Considering the PSP is doing far worse now than when it launched, I would have to say no. The Xbox built up its game library and software sales over the course of its life. The PSP has not only gone on to lose the battle for UMD's place in the market but has lost virtually all third party support which was more than abundant when it launched and has had progressively declining software sales ever since. The Xbox built up an empire from nothing, the PSP was a handheld with perhaps the most promise and anticipation of any handheld ever seen with full third party support and threw it all away becoming a novelty media device at rave parties and night club scenes. |
What battle for a place in the market??? UMD was just another of Sony's failed DRM attempts. And PSP has one significant advantage over the original Xbox: it is profitable. |
Yes and Sony hoped the PSP would make the UMD a success.
True, the PSP is profitable, but by how much? Enough to warrent the resources devoted to it? The Xbox's purpose was primarily to get a foot in the door for the 360, not make millions, they said that themselves. The PSP's purpose was to sell UMD and usurp Nintendo from the handhelds. Of the Xbox and PSP, which do you think did a better job of achieving what their company wanted?
