not a bad system, too bad it wasnt successful bc all people do is mod them and download games on it. now the legit peeps are punished by sony with a shitastic proprietary way overpriced memory card for vita.

You consider over 80 million hardware sales to be unsuccessful? 


That didnt translate into software sales unfortunatly.

Sony Ending PSP Shipments In Japan This June

PSP had a great run since it launched in 2004. Sony’s handheld made the Monster Hunter a phenomenon and has a healthy supply of RPGs including Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes series. Alas, it’s time to say good bye to the PSP. Sony will stop shipping new systems in June.

 

Sony is running a promotion to get users to upgrade. If you live in Japan and own a PSP you can trade it in to get credit towards a PlayStation Vita or PlayStation Vita TV. PSPgo and PSP-2000 series systems are worth 2,000 yen. The PSP-3000 series will be worth 4,000 yen. The promotion will last between June 3 to August 29 and vouchers must be used by October 31, 2014.

Come on... some thought it was about the Vita.. admit it..

You need to change the headline. My follow up thread has been locked so you might as well add it here:

Tokyo-based Sony said Tuesday that PSP shipments ended in North America in January, will end in Japan this month and later this year in Europe.



 

The PS5 Exists.

The PSP was such a great system, an jrpg wonderland! MY still gets heavy play even today, weather it be 1 of the PSP titles or an gem from older retro consoles (with the help of a custom firmware of course)

Should I go full dickhead and talk about how it didn't even pass the lowest selling Nintendo handheld or is that too soon? XP

I absolutely lived mine. I bought a lot if games on it and modded to play GBA/N64/etc games. Such an awesome little device for it's time.
