a mid-level success, started better, but was overwhelmed by DS after all. At first, everyone thought that Sony will crush Nintendo in the portable division. As the psp was more powerful than ds and had all third support. This is not the case. Nintendo has crushed all the competition in the dedicated portable market.

Everything is overwhelmed by DS except PS2. Comparing just about any console to the DS is going to make the other look like a failure by comparison. 80m+ units is a success.

Handhelds only compete against handhelds so there's little need in comparing it to home consoles.
