didn't Kaz Hirai claim something along the lines that they aim for the PSP to 'take handheld gaming out of the ghetto'.  If anything, it's the DS that has done that, not the PSP.

Not only does that require a source, but it's a pretty vague saying. Besides, the DS being the monstrous success that it is doesn't mean the PSP isn't a success in it's own right.

Quotes
  • "Some have said that the PSP is our answer to the (Nintendo) Game Boy. Well, here’s how we view the world: PSP will elevate portable entertainment out of the handheld gaming ghetto and Sony is the only company that can do it. We happily accept this challenge and, dare I say it, the baton has been passed."

Quite typical of kaz... another example of his ill advised cock waving.  Incredible arrogance and disrespect in one tidy little sentence.

Not quite a source, but I guess it'll do, since I can't see you pulling that out of thin air.

In his defense though, Microsoft & Nintendo (big corporations in general) have their equal share of "cock wavers" as well.

Is this sentence really wrong though. Yea, it's arrogant but.....

The PSP did improve handheld gaming leaps and bounds in terms of features, tech, scale and visuals. 

And, Sony were very well placed to do this, because of their status and backing due to the PS2.

Other companies could have theoretically done this, but none of them wanted to. This sentence is full of truth, just stated in a 'cock waver' way :)
