Turkish said: It should be noted that the PSP sold more than the 3DS ever will. And yeah piracy killed it (and Sony never really being committed, saving PS3 was bigger priority). For a few years PSP was very competitive against the DS, even outselling it iirc, but then came the CFW. |
Piracy was present in DS as well, no problem. And Nintendo had the Wii to take care of too. It's an excuse. Ds crushes PSP on its merits. It's not Sony's fault entirely, competition was crucial. The DS was a better gaming device than the PSP, which reflects on long-term sales. Selling double and much more software, even suffering with a piracy equal or worse than the PSP suffered.
