You might wanna tell Sony about that, Kwaad. They said that the "baton had been passed" from Gameboy to PSP, and that they would bring portables out of the "gaming ghetto." If that wasn't some kind of indication that their goal was total market domination, what did they mean? But go ahead, spin it out that their goal was simply to attain marketshare. But your claim that the PSP was the first to "attain marketshare" is just false. Anything that EXISTS in the market will get marketshare. The Game Gear did it, so did the Neo Geo Pocket and so did the Wonderswan. You may have an argument over Sony having the most marketshare, but it's still getting its ass beat all day long.
until nintendo can start lureing in big 3rd party franchises/new ip's and not just 3rd party support, sony will always hold a share of the handheld market
Put the crackpipe down. What big 3rd party franchise does the DS need? Maybe Final Fantasy? Or Dragon Quest? Megaman? Which ones are you talking about? New IPs? Look at the Media Create numbers again. See Professor Layton? New IP, from a third party even. Check out Hotel Dusk. New IP, from Nintendo. And BTW What new IPs on the PSP are as successful? Every time a PSP game does well, it is some sort of Port from the Playstation 2. Even Monster Hunter. Everytime a new IP is attempted on the PSP, it flops. Your argument falls flat.
