Forums - Sony Discussion - PlayStation Portable - A great success.

With almost 70 million handhelds sold, the PSP is a great success.

It's technically not a fact, but non-technically it is a fact:
the PSP is one of the most successful gaming devices of all time.

Yes. Yes it is. Although certain people don't like to admit it, the PSP is a great success.



                            

yes, yes it is.

PSP has sold more then the NES, OG Xbox, N64, and GameCube.

and currently the PS3 and Xbox 360.



It's a  great success and had even greater potential

Time for hype

I agree. First handhelf to even challenge Nintendo's dominance in that market. Lets hope NGP continues building on the PSP's success.



I bought a DS ages ago, that thing has been on the shelf for years, tbh my PSP didnt get much action - then a game called Tactics Ogre changed all that. i use it to listen to music on the train and i use it to play some PS1 games that dont look good on my 32" tv.

really just a brilliant handheld. and its done well imo, i think with a more competitive price point it wouldve done even better.



It definitely succeeded in making money and carving Sony a handheld niche, but it's quite the failure as far as PlayStations go, isn't it?
