Then sony shouldn't target an audience thats prone to piracy. Thats simply poor business.

Hmmm let us see: hardware makes money. Check. Big players like Sony, Capcom, SE, Namco-Bandai, Konami, EA are making money on software. Check. Japanese game library increasing a lot. Check. Sony promisses more 3rd party syupport next year, Gamestop aknowledges and says its true.... so no I dont think that its dead, or that it will be anytime soon ;)

 

 Not all of them, at least EA and SE are losing money on the PSP

If that is increasing a lot then what is the japanese DS library.

More multiplatform titles?

Piracy is a BS excuse. The DS has high piracy also but it doesnt stop it from selling.
PSP libray sucks. It doesnt know what it wants to be. PSP has already commited suicide.

A PSP 2 or whatever the hell it'll be called can be a great handheld but the PSP not matter how much you lie to yourself is garbage.

 

You spew this bullshit in every PSP thread. The system has more then enough great games. It comes down to PSP being very easy to pirate targeting an audience where piracy is largest. DS has massive casual appeal, and the majority of those people wouldn't even know where to begin.

No it doesnt it library is shit when compared to DS or anything else for the matter.
DS is easy to pirate too so.....
Sony fucked up by not making it appeal to casual then didnt it? Then again it did. Tons of people here in the "urban"  have a PSP. But you know what they use it for? To play MP3s.

It seems to be doomed by the same malady that afflicted the Dreamcast: Pirates.

Pirated games means you can't sell software which usually means you stop selling hardware.

Don't make me dig up the gamerankings again and own you like every other time. Both libraries are great, stop being stubborn and accept it. I JUST FUCKING EXPLAINED WHY PIRATING DOESN'T AFFECT DS AS MUCH!! Seriously, do you even read the posts or just dig up from a predetermined list of annoying responses.
