Nokia Ngage, Sega Gamgear, Sega Nomad, Neogeo Pocket, Wonderswan, Atari Lynx and Tiger Game.com together. So how can it be a fail saleswise, if it outsold all Nintendos past competitors from all generations? How can people say that PSP was a fail if its the only handheld that could compete with nintendo. Its like telling china that its econmy fails because it cant beat the US economy yet.The PSP made good money for sony and the release of NGP turns things different to grab even more marketshare.

If I am faster then the slowest man that does not make me fast. Those other handhelds failed worse but that does not mean the psp did not fail. Nintendo destroyed the PSP this gen.

It doesn't mean you're slow either. It's all in the details. In the PSPs case, it sold nearly three times as much as the rest put together. If you're three times quicker than the five slowest dudes ever... I guess you'd still be pretty slow, but that's beside the point. The PSP was successful enough for Sony to produce the NGP. The others didn't achieve that feat (I think. I have no idea really).

Or we can say the DS is the fastest man in the world and the psp is losing the race by a couple of meters. Than you would be fast.

The PSP has sold tens of millions of systems and has a decent library in the West, and a host of good titles in the East that haven't been localized. It sounds to me like the PSP greatest market is Japan, and the success there is the mean reason why we will have the NGP.

PSP was and still is the most impressive handheld on the market in terms of portable gaming.

However, though it was amazing, had way too many marketing directions. That whole thing with Marcus failed awfully. The DS is successful because it's marketed towards everybody.

I think since the DS has set such a new standard as far as what is considered a handheld success...but anyway, PSP was definitely not a failure. It's sold more units than the 360 or PS3.

Xbox 360 must be a crappy console then, using your fine logic.
