It still suprises me that Sony never managed to look at how Nintendo does software revisions and capitalise of that.

Meaningful improvements as opposed to downgrades.

 

I dunno man, their strategy worked pretty well in the PS1 and PS2 days. In the PS3 days too, for that matter (except they lost so much on the PS3 )

 

BTW, you mean hardware revisions, right?

lol, yeah. Corrected it now :)

PS3 was a bit messy with taking out BC but I guess I'm talking about their handhelds.

PSP revisions had issues with  the screen and didn't really improve upon the hardware or design much, just made it slimmer and actually reduced the size of the screen in later revisions. PSP Go was good design wise but the removal of cartridges was insanely stupid considering half the PSP library wasn't even available to download at the time and from launch digital wasn't an initiative so peoples games catelogues were 95% physical media. 

PSVita 2000 is also simply a downgrade and did nothing for sales.
