| ckmlb said: it's a really good number for the PSP, for the DS it's expected now. 112 million is low? I think the PSP defenitely has longevity.
So what's going to happen the next gen of hand held? I mean Sony is probably going to make a more powerful more compact PSP 2 what will Nintendo make? Another DS that's more powerful? I think so, next hand held generation will just be more powerful versions of these two consoles and the PSP will do good again. The days of Nintendo being the only big hand held console maker are over. While the Wii is eating up the PS' market share in consoles, the PSP is doing the same with the Hand helds even if it does end up being in 2nd place. |
No, it's not eating up anything in the market. Rather than the market losing money, the handheld market was expanded by a HUGE amount. You can't really say the PSP is eating away at the DS, when there is a valid argument that the PSP actually increased the DS sales, just as there is a valid argument that the PS3 is increasing Wii sales. Yeah, it took marketshare, but profit and console base for Nintendo has never been higher. From a business standpoint, they should be thanking the PSP.
