Forums - Sony Discussion - psmini, one of the biggest fails of the year

bamf on 13 December 2018

I have it my mind that I must own one, same with all the other mini's that are available. I do not own any as I couldn't see myself actually playing them. I have too much of other things to do. When the psone mini was announced we all had our own selection for what we wanted to see on the system which will always result in everyone not being happy but I have to say it wasn't that great of all choice from Sony. Maybe there were licensing issues so knows our just plain bad judgement? To own then all will be the collector in me. I own the original Consoles anyway. If Sony added trophy support then I would be tempted to play these classics

Perhaps the customer base is in another galaxy or dimension =p

What damage control when I acknowledge that the system is among the biggest fails together with things no one even remember?

At least LABO sold over 1.5 million.

Shipped, but yes if you decided to read other posts instead of jumping to defend LABO you would see that I considered LABO less failed than PS Classic. Still LABO was expected to drive HW sales for Switch and didn't, do you know what was expected of PS Classic besides a quick cash in (that we don't know if it made or not).

How did a thread about PS Classic segue into Labo? Lol

Bringing up "one of the biggest fails of the year" I believe. Had the title been something like "Random European store lists PS Mini for 40% off just a week after release" I doubt you'd be seeing much Labo talk. Toxic thread title devolves into toxic discussion every time.

Because the thread is about the biggest fails of the year.

Nonsense my dude. You should not even have mentioned LABO because at the end of the day, it is not a commercial failure. Yet, you became defensive over some tat that failed in every aspect. That is why LABO came into the mix. Bad call man.

Nope, it is in the titles "one of the biggest fails", so the title is talking about the biggest failures.

Not a comercial failure? If after 6 months in the market it doesn't sell the initial shipment that is a fail, it also didn't manage to help sales of Switch on first half of the year.

Defensive of PSmini? When was that if I have acknowledge that it failed?

Apparently this is the latest in the PS Mini's long list of blunders:

Look at the links posted above you and you will realise the footage is wrong.

Yet it did sell over a million units at a much higher pricepoint aimed at a specific audience. That is a special edition price sold each time. You bet that it made them money lol. Anyway, you were the one who brought it in when it shouldn't have been. This was about the PS Classic, a classic console that failed so why?
