Except the DS was PSP's direct competitor, so a comparison seems relevant.

Mind you, I'm not saying the PSP's lifetime sales were poor overall. Just that this was one aspect/context in which it could be said they were, in addition to the ones you listed.

Yeah, its a comparison that can be made but it isn't that inciteful into the systems respective success which I guess is what I'm getting at. With software comparisons though is quite different, that was definitely a failure on sony behalf and no system with 80m hardware units out there should only have total software sales of around 250m... Thats quite poor or at least below industry standards.

I had no idea it was that low.

Thaat's only about 3 games per system, yikes.

Piracy?

That what people say. I can't really recall the software situation at the time but I think support ended quite early from most third partys and the japanese games rarely came to the west.
