| 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. |
Bolded is not a fact.
PSP sold 81MM units.
3DS around 65MM and still has at least 2 more years of availability on the market. (including 2DS).
They still sell at $199 for XL versions. Nintendo has tons of margin and profit.
Sure, I expect 3DS support from Nintendo to dry up on 2018 as focus is 100% on Switch. But, that doesn't mean it won't continue to be markted and recieve various other games through 2019. Then you have the price drop off over those years which will continue to make it a good seller.
3DS can very easily match/exceed PSP lifetime.
