3DS has sold less than the PSP at 66m compared to 80m at the end of next year it'll be higher as it approaches the PSP's 80m and DS isn't impressive either but then that was the blue ocean when they were catering to casuals as well as it being the highest selling platform in history which is an anomaly much like the PS2. |
So we have excuses for all situations right?
HH sell less SW, simple as that. And PSP were a first time, hadn't the stablished IPs from Nintendo so a 1 or 2 games less sold isn't unexpected. So if 3DS and DS sold less than 5 and less than 6, PSP selling a little less than 4 isn't entirely due to Piracy.
PSP was sucessfull and a PS5 portable could be as well, depending on how the platform holder makes the strategy.
