I personaly think Pokemon is lame.  Having said that, I also believe that the release of D/P is not only going to be the final nail in the PSP's coffin but it is going to be the six feet of dirt on top of said coffin.

In case you hadn't noticed, the PSP is about to outsell the Gamecube and Xbox. It may be getting stomped by the DS, but so is every other console. The PSP has sold 20 million in a little over 2 years. That is a pretty impressive mark, and I would be willing to bet that the PSP ends up above 30 million sold when it's all said and done. Just because a console is losing out to another does not mean that it is on the verge of death. The PSP has absolutely no chance of catching the DS, but it isn't going anywhere any time soon. The PSP is consistently out selling every system except the DS and Wii is both the US and Japan.

yah, i think so.  Pokemon is one of the top most profitable and popular video game franchises on the planet and will surely entice gamers to buy a DS if they havent already.

 

PSP has nothing to combat that kind of power. Its hardware wont do it and its games sure as hell wont.

There is a problem that's not being addressed, however. While PSP hardware sales are strong, compare that to the PSP's software sales. They are extremely lacking.

That is very true, but there are some titles that sell quite well here and there, especially in Japan. 

Software sales have been nowhere near stellar, but they aren't bad enough to warrant

calling the system dead or dying.

Absolutely.
Personally, I belive that will actually do more to end the PSP than the success of the DS. But the result won't be Sony pulling out of the market. The result will be the introduction of the inevitable PSP2, or whatever they'll call it.

SmashBrosLegend

Software sales are bad enough to say that the PSP is dying since developers have already been forced to change focus from the PSP to the DS.

As for Japan, it's been proven that PSP software sales were atrocious in 2006 at least. I'm not hating on the PSP but we can't exactly paint the situation it's been going through with rainbows and sunshine.
