Why is the playstation portable not outselling the xbox 360? Please no comments like "because the psp sucks" or "psp is worthless" or anything similiar.

Well maybe because it reached its peak and no good games have been released for it. You really cant compare consoles to handhelds in sales.



because psp sucks


no really I think its because handhelds are not as popular as consoles (every week more consoles are sold as handhelds so I am right..) and PSP is the lesser sellign console



Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

 

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

 

Consoles are more popular than portables as a rule I think. Outside of Japan that is. Japan is like the kingdom of portables. Anyway I do not compare portables to consoles. They are a different breed.

I'm surprised it's even selling as good as it is now in the West.  Look at the games that have been released in the past year for the PSP and compare those to the ones that have come out on the 360 (Wii, DS, and even PS3 for that matter).  I mean look at North America and Europe, when was the last time a PSP game even charted in the top 10?



The PSP is finally getting the respect it deserves with a shitload of games comming for it, but unfortunately the PSP rebirth wont start till this fall
