if you can't understand what a person is trying to say, ask questions, don't assume crap it makes you look like a complete idiot in the process. Why I think wii is laughable is not only because it's current status, it's the gaming library, hw strength etc etc. and that's not even the point I was trying to make. You can't come up with measures of success on your own. You can't seem to graps the concept of common sense, and the comment as a whole is so dumb....well not that I expected any better from you. Here's a little info for you, a products success doesn't mean the competition failed. DS did amazingly well, psp did great too. It has the sales and the gaming library to back it up. and fyi psp outsold ds in the first year or so iirc. I have a point of view that some of you should just move along, not many are agreeing with what you guys are saying and rambling on about it won't change that, it's just become rather silly now. PSP will sell about 80mil LT, has an extensive gaming library, earned sony money and helped them get their foot in on the portable gaming market. It's a great success for them. You are playing a ignorant game now and frankly not sure why I waste my time with you. Guess I touched a nerve with my 3ds comment LOL...sorry to hurt your feelings or something I guess. What you lack is an understanding of what is considered a success in a business, and that's ok, just try to educate on yourself on that a bit. common sense portion...can't help you there

I don't get it - I have yet to see a single person call it a failure yet you seem all up in arms and ready to wage war. Why are you getting so heated up just because people don't necessarily think it's a huge success? On top of that, you seem far more interested in making personal insults than actually refuting people's arguments. Calling people idiots or lacking in common sense doesn't help anyone and makes it look like you lack argument.

Also, my measures of success are far from randomly made-up. Judging anything based on past performance and general consensus is exactly how you're supposed to measure success. I mean, take a look at Wii's current sales. 100k a week is awesome for any product to sell and you'd have to be an idiot to deny that. Yet why does everyone think the Wii's doing terribly? It's because everyone thought that it was going to outsell the PS2 and sell much more and because it was selling a lot before in the past years. There is nothing abnormal about judging success as such. It's clearly common sense, given how everyone does it.

how are those insults? you seem to have not had any proper insults aimed at you in life or something :S you don't seem to be able to recognize any properly. It's true jumping to conclusions (wrong conclusion too) like that is idiotic and I have no problem saying. It IS common sense, I don't really care if people think it's too harsh or something.

and not sure why you think I'm up in arms over this? you sound more worked up than anyone here, so did padib. Not that I care tho...just weired you think I'm that worked up over this..you and all your friends come in here stand on your heads and scream psp wasn't a success or great success or w/e still won't mean much to me..it's all opinion at the end of the day

I guess the wii comment ticked you guys off a bit :P but seriously you also seem to miss the point. Wii is a SUCCESS for Ninty. It can suck in 3rd party support, current line up, online features, HW strength etc etc but it sold tremendously well, got them money and helped them make their mark in the casual market. Just because I think it was a failure doesn't mean it was to the company. Same applies to PSP. And boo friggin hoo about it was supposed to "insert some expectations comment here". Things change, would sony have loved to wipe the floor with ninty? OF COURSE! what company wouldn't?! that would be ace for any company. Doesn't mean they won't revise their goals and expectations as they go. 3DS was supposed to be sold out for months too you know? doesn't make it a failure, they will just change the expectations a bit and it will end up a success on all front in the end.

and your last paragraph is filled with hypocrisy LOL but I won't waste time pointing that out. Read it yourself and you might get it. This success is concerning with the pov of a company not fanboys expectations or bragging rights. I agree with Naz on the point about SW, that's the only area imho that the psp lacked..not in quality or the offerings but the sales. Not sure why you guys are wasting your time here trying to prove something that just can't be proved beyond boohoo everyone expected this this this comments. But oh well knock yourself out

oh and btw d2tlewis comment was SPOT ON! refer to it, lot of truth in a few words
