The PSP is such a failure...

...it's only sold 60 million! Wait what? When did PSP go from the joke of a system, to outselling 360 and PS3?

you...you got it all wrong...we meant the PSPGo was a failure.:P

we wasn't sayin' anything bad about the PSP 1k/2k/3k.

The PSP is one of my favorite handhelds ever released.

the PSP go on the other hand is a completely different story...

Yea I love my psp. I just dont know wat sony was thinking with the go. Wat really hurt it was the dumb price of 250.

It's hard to call it a "failure" when it sold so many units...the problem is that the DS more than doubled its sales.

The fact that it even exists still when Nintendo has always had a lock on the handheld market is amazing. I don't have one, nor do I plan to get one either.

I think the price of the games on the PSN store is what is hurting the go the most....Seriously, some of the games that are 40$ on the PSN store Ive found for 20$ or less in retail....

Well, if the Xbox 360 was released at the same time then technically...:roll: Anyway, I like the PSP and glad it's holding it's own against the DS. I think they actually have two different market shares at this point. I think the PSP is the better of the two and I think it's safe to say it's far from a failure when comparing it to the DS.

The PSP is fine even if it does have a lack of games some what, the PSP Go on the other hand is terrible.

WOW i had no idea it sold so much... i wonder what kind of gamer wast its time playing crapy games on a psp o.Osilversix_

it's a failure as far as handhelds are concerned.

To be fair, I think if I were to buy another handheld, I'd sooner opt for the PSP-Go than any of the disc-based models. I haven't heard good things about that UMD drive.

If you were buying a go you knew what you were getting into, anyone who bought/was going to buy one and complains about something like that is a nub.

Ya what a failure, i mean it only topped the next highest selling non nintendo handheld by 50 million units and counting, such a pathetic failure.

It's still selling like crazy in Japan. It's just not getting the same support elsewhere.

no the psp is not a failure, unless of course if you compare it to the ds theres no contest at all but if you just look at the psp itself, its a success FILIPINOMAZTER

DS only has twice the sales of the psp, the ps2 had over 5 times as many sales as the xbox or gamecube last gen.

So it's the games that people mock it for?locopatho

It's assumed that the PSP gets mostly ports. And a lot of people bemoan the fact that the PSP doesn't get many shooters and want it to have a second analog stick.

PSP Go is cool to look at and alot more portable but the downloading games thing is meh to me.

PSP 2K/3K are great systems.

The psp is in no way a failure, but UMDs man. UMDs.

I don't like the PSP as a gaming system.

Sony not offering a trade in program for pspgo owners is fail

The GO is awesome. I never bought a PSP 3000 because I don't consider that monstrosity portable at that size. The Go fits in my pant's pocket. Only downfall is the game prices don't drop fast, but I don't give a crap. The majority of the PSN prices reflect the new retail prices anyway. Sales and used prices are cheaper for UMD, but UMD sucks, and with 16 gigs built into my GO i'll lever need more space or worry about lugging around discs.

I personaly like the Ds much better because most Psp games are dumbed down Ps2 games as far as I know.

yeah but for the first time can some one compete with nintendo in sales and everything else, just look at the lynx and gamegear.

It is not just the PSP, but also the DS (all its models combined) that are selling well, so well that they usually dominate the hardware and software sales lists. Japan is the only major gaming market where handhelds are the dominate video game systems.

I think of the PSP as a disappointment than a failure, as it was once thought that it would dominate the DS which it did not. If it has been a failure, Sony would have discontinued the PSP years ago.

The PSP is the only handheld to make it this far against Nintendo..

I say it's doing pretty good!

The PSP is a failure when you consider all the hype it received, much like the PS3.

the pspgo is not really a bad idea I just wish the pricing would've been fair but the system is very good you can download games and old umds you have you can trade them in for points to download the game.

PSP 1000 2000 3000= EPICWIN!!!

PSP GO= EPICFAIL!!!

The PSP is great, I just don't like the short battery life. Or that stupid analog "nub". I just can't get past that..........

Well yea against the beast that is nintendo it doeisnt beat it in sales,but psp is far from a failure. For one thing it still exist and still does get support and sells ok. There is no other handheld out there that lasted longer against the beast nintendo on the handheld market. Most by now dissapeard. I say thats a positive.

you think 60 mill is good

try the 70 mill wii has

and the 130 ds has

and the 140 ps2 has

(wii is continuing to get even more sales in japan america etc) it is on its way to be the third home console to sell 100 m

dragonfly110

Mine too :) Crisis Core :cry:

I love it when people call it a failure till I post the "60 million sold" link. The PSP love is a bit slow due to Sony focusing on the Move and the PS3, but the games that are yet to release for the PSP looks to be worth the wait.

DS >> PSP
