What? Gameboy beat PS2? Are you sure? I think the sales combined Gameboy with Gameboy Color. Doesn't look right.

That's combined GB and GB Color.  Which I think counts because old GB's could play the Color games, just not in color.  Doesn't matter anyway 'cause PS2 will pass it easily this quarter.

 PS:  PSP is definitely looking to do better this year than last year, which IMO just sucked for them as the DSL took over the market.  Now that the DSL is no longer brand new the PSP can get some of the attention back.  I still think it'll taper off after this holiday though, we'll see.  It's a great little system but it does too much crap that I don't want to pay for so it's not worth it to me right now (just like the PS3 really).

um... how old are you?

Genesis was Sega's most successful system ever, almost on par with the SNES in the west.

well psp isnt a failure it has sold 20 mill plus worldwide best competition  nintendo has EVER had for handhelds

ermmm, sony have started targeting teens with the PSP now. So if that's an "older demographic" then I suppose they must havebeen targeting kids before that. Sorry, but the PSP is going after a younger demographic than the DS is now, how ironic.

1. It wasn't poorly delivered. You're just the only one who didn't get it, which isn't surprising at this point.

2.  The information has already been provided. Deal with it.

3. I said that it has already sold more than any handheld that wasn't made by Nintendo. This has already been proven, and you haven't given anything to refute it, end of story. The 360 isn't a handheld, but the If the PSP has sold 20 million in two years and is doing poorly, then the same should apply to the 360, which hasn't even sold half of that in 1.5 years. You want to compare home systems to home systems? Fine. The 360 must being doing extremely poorly because it's being outsold by the Wii and has yet to outsell the seven-year-old PS2. That's right, it can't even outsell the predecessor to its competition even after 1.5 years. The PSP, on the other hand, is outselling the wildly popular predecessor to the DS, the GBA. Damn that failing 360!

4. I said that handhelds skew towards a younger audience, and there have already been plenty of examples given to reflect this. Perhaps it's you who should read the posts you reply to.

5. Microsoft also said that 10 million 360's were going to be sold by the time the PS3 and Wii launched, but it still has yet to reach that even now. But none of that is relevant. I think Sony knows which demographic they were targeting with the PSP. No points here, really.

Seriously, just give it up. If points are going over anyone's head, it's yours. The information you asked for was provided, your posts have been directly replied to and debunked, and yet you continue to post irrelevant arguments and inane rhetoric, and I'm not even going to bother reading anymore of it, much less replying to it.

1. Yet you fail to provide the slightest bit of evidence to support such.

2. That doesn't change the fact you attempted to attack my request originally, now you're trying to counter with your own volunatary supplementation of that information. Also, I proved that information doesn't prove the original point.

 3. You are correct in my mistaken take on your words. But yes, the 360 could by and large be considered a failure due to is non existant sales in Japan and embarassingly slow sales. Also, Handhelds sell more than Consoles, so comparing the sales of a Console to a Handheld don't really show much in regards to either's success or failure. Comparing the two is convenient for you because you want to use it to support your theory that the PSP is a success, despite its infamous reputation in quality, poor game library and pathetic UMD format.

4. You were essentially claiming that the PSP was for adults and that the DS was for children, don't try and dodge the fact by generalizing the two. You were caught red handed there.

5. Sony was targeting the 360? Wonderful logic. Obviously the PSP wasn't competing with the DS, it was competing with the 360. Hey, if the PSP can't outsell the DS it can at least outsell the 360 right? lol. You'll take any little victory you can won't you?

I caught you in a sloppy argument, don't act like you debunked anything either than pointing out my misunderstanding of your words in regards to prior handhelds. Everything else in the arguments stands as is, you tried to childishly pair the PSP up against the 360 to dodge its defeat at the hands of the DS and then tried to make a pathetic jab at the DS by saying it did better because it was more kiddie. Perhaps you should ignore me and refocus your efforts on trying to convince yourself that your PSP is a sure thing.

Very strongly agree with this. Look people -- it's one thing to say that the DS is more popular and profitable than the PSP is. That's (probably) fine. What isn't fine is saying that the DS is incredible and it wins and the PSP has no good games and it loses and anyone who bought it is an idiot. 

The PSP has done quite well for itself. It has many good games for it. You can say both of those things, and still prefer the DS, as I do.

CrazzyMan ONE game doesnt mean sh!t..nintendogs will out sell God of war psp.. what else does psp have??? all that gta bullsh!t? ya lame

man im drunk as f#ck right now dont mind me.............

 Man, who's letting these children get drunk while playing their DS?

Anyways, Just because you don't like the PSP mean that it's doomed or that it stinks.  With over 20 million PSP's sold it does prove that it's rather popular.  Sure, it doesn't have the 40 million sold number that the DS has, and the fac tof the matter is that the DS is geared more towards children and with it being less expensive then the PSP is why all the soccer moms buy them to shut up the kids.  Would you want a minivan full of kids yelling and being annoying while you cart them in your SUV or minivan?  Sure, not all games are aimed towards children, but that is their bread and butter.  Look at many of the high sales DS games, I'm sure that the majority are considered to be games that children would like.

 I got a PSP for one major reason.  The flexibility of the system.  I can put movies, mp3's and games on my memory stick.  If I'm on a plane or waiting at an airport, I don't have to lug around a portable dvd player, or a DS, and my iPod.  I don't have to carry around a laptop either and can keep myself entertained while I am sitting around waiting and can find something to do in that time.  I can play some games for a little bit, or I can just zone out and listen to some music.  Maybe I want to watch a movie I ripped to my memory stick so that I can catch up on some that i have missed watching lately.  I don't know of any DS's that can do all of that.

 For me, it's simple as to why I got a PSP.  It works great for me and there are some fun games to play that I enjoy.   For others here, they choose the DS because it offers what they want, or at the least it's made by the manufacturer they prefer.   I'm not here slamming the DS or it's faults, I'm offering you a reason why some may choose a PSP instead of a DS or to go with their DS.

All I keep gathering is that this site is chock full of nintedo fanboys who say anything and everything is horrible when compared to their precious Nintendo products.  Basically they continue on ranting that because their system of choice has more sales that everything else out there sucks.  Now, lets get back to the argument about nintedo fans being children. ;)

 (They sure seem to act the part of children, as a rule. Some have been reasonable and intelligent)

Sony did mess up one thing about the UMD that made it fail for movie formats.  Too expensive for the movies.  Why should I spend $15 for a movie that I could get on DVD for 5-7 less and it's not compressed at all?  Had the movies been priced at $5 each, I most likely would have bought up quite a few movies for my PSP.  It's cheaper for me to buy the DVD at $10, then rip it to the memory stick and watch it that way and have a full dvd added to my collection.

Again, the PSP is not "doomed", a failure, or anything.  It's a very strong selling handheld that just happens to be competing against another handheld that is experiencing sales that are unprecedented.  Both are popular and successes, anyone who claims either is a failure is a moron.
