"Some have said that the PSP is our answer to the (Nintendo) Game Boy. Well, here’s how we view the world: PSP will elevate portable entertainment out of the handheld gaming ghetto and Sony is the only company that can do it. We happily accept this challenge and, dare I say it, the baton has been passed." Kaz 2005

Apparently, Sony felt differently.

 

apparently the psp sold 80+ million units and a lot of games and was successful as hell

wtf is your logic? 

I said Sony wanted to beat Nintendo and didn't so they likely changed the branding. You said that it wasn't about beating Nintendo but making money. I proved that (as well as making money) it was about beating Nintendo. Then you said it sold 80 million units and was successful, asking me what my "logic is"... which makes no sense in the context of the discussion.
