The PS2 had a far greater failure rate than the Xbox. Though both were garbage compared to the gamecube failrate wise, just like both the 360 and PS3 have insanely high fail rates compared to the wii, but I guess thats because wii hardware is very weak and so produces little heat.

Actually the PSP sold more in the United States than in Japan. The United States has been the biggest market of any country for every single console this gen and has a 19million lead over Japan in handhelds this gen.

Obviously if microsoft were to make their own handheld they would hire more studios, but regardless its never going to happen because it just isn't profitable and phones are already getting the specs nessessary to play full fledged games. 

You have a source for that? I know more ps2s failed but that;s only because more ps2s were in existance, if we go by % I'm pretty sure xbox was worse. Also it's not about heat it's about the wii being last gen tech, the longer tech exists the lower the failrate, companies usually do a good job considering the cutting edge tech they work with (MS being the exception)

I looked at the regions psp sold 8 mil more, though it doesn't break it down by country. So again link? 

Where would they get these studios from? As it is half their studios are unproven and they ran a ton into the ground already.
