| LipeJJ said: I think its sales are disappointing indeed, but even being like that, it's still a success. I mean, the system will be close to 60m by the end of the year. You can't call a system that will sell more than 60m, maybe 70m, a failure. Right? |
You can, it's called the PSP. Sold really well despite poor marketing strategies (Sony is 0/2 on delivering the true console on the go experience they've advertised, not even gonna touch the majority of the PSP's western advertisement), but because it wasn't the DS it had to have failed. I'd even argue people played more Nintendo games on the PSP than the DS! Thanks hacking!
More on topic: Nintendo came into this generation REALLY cocky, so the entire 8th gen was bound to disappoint. I mean they launched with six games and their star seller being a port and expected something like 17-20 million year one. This is probably the first year of the gen so far where Nintendo's official expectations were somewhat believeable, and they're in line with moderate success. You don't need to be a Game Boy or better to be a success; then again, everybody considers the GBA at 80 million a failure, even though it sold nearly 75% of that after the DS launched, so we really have no clue where we'll end up
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
