Sony always has their way in the END.

PSP broke into Nintendo's handheld realm when others failed, despite being very expensive. To date it has sold 20 million (DS has about 40 million).

PSOne dethroned nintendo, PS2 broke the dreamcast.

Platstation One, phenominal success; PS2 best selling console, 100 million sold; PS3 sells 1 million in PAL regions (doing better than PSOne, and PS2, respectively). Nuff said.

Futher questions are likely to be most meaningless and should be addressed to this guy.

It lived up to the hyped. It tackled the DS head on and got 1/3 of the market. Nintendo got owned.

DS is expected to reach 60 million+ sold by march. PSP might reach 30 if lucky 25 is the current estimate.

Sony said the PSP was the savior of handhelds to free people from thr ghetto. PSP was all hype and total crap in reality. Gamegear was good and guess what it sold well and its a loser. just like the PSP

It's true, Sony always gets their way if we exclude:

• UMD
• Mini-Disk
• A-TRAC
• BETAMAX
• The Super CD
• Micro-DV
• DAT
• All those laptops which broke and batteries had to be replaced

And clearly, the stunning success of the PS3 and PSP's ability to sell half as much as it's major competitor can only be considered successes by the rational mind.Danm_999

It is the savior of handhelds. I don't carry my mp3 player anymore and there's no need for a portable DVD player.

Just like the PS3, it is looking to the future. Attempting to be as console-like as possible while the DS churns out games that are 2 gens ago. It's a great gaming handheld, music player, video player, and it'll be much more.

Oh lawl at the fanlads who said the PSP lived up to the hype

XD

The PSP has even less than 20% of total market share since the DS has outsold it at a much faster rate as well.

for 20 bucks the DS can do everything the PSP can. and The point of handheld gaming is its not a console. The fact its trying to be a console is why the PSP bombed to everyone but the hardcore sony fan.

LOL

DS webbrowser = $30

DS media player = $30

And guess what? It does both of those things horribly compared to the PSP. And there's the PS1 emulator(which is a legal thing because sony made it) and many other features aswell(not counting the "illegal" things PSP can do). So no.

Their called failed formats, and their examples of when Sony tried to bring something to the market and it didn't work, ie, they didn't get their way.

To call Sony a company that always gets it's way ignores it has a ridiculously long list of failed formats under it's belt.

Oh, well DAT was an attempt to upgrade cassettes, which failed to take hold outside of niche uses (professional recording).

And Micro DV was some sort of camera format which for some reason failed (I don't know the specifics of this one, I just saw it on a list of Sony's struggling or failed formats).

To Danm_999 threads.

So puts a little bit into investing in new formats. Some work, some don't. MS Stick is really awesome and competing well with SD cards. Mini DV, DVD Camcorders weren't too hot, but Sony is leading the industry with their latest hdd High Definition camcorders.

They have their share of problems too. Kutaragi tried replace VHS recording with DVD recording, but HDD recorders came out just after that time. Sony also didn't embrace MP3 players due to the fact that they didn't want to adhere to the huge piracy market by having mp3 supported products, so that caused their audio market to be slow when they eventually went to MP3.

But they are competiting well in the audio department now. Not like back in the cdplayer days but it's still some presence.

Crystal balls must be going for 99¢ a piece because everyone seems to know the future.slothboyadvance

Must be. They must be getting those crystal balls right next to all those PS3's and PS3 games on retail shelves. Get 5 for $1.

Doing well =/= Being dominant in sales.

Not doing well is what the GC was. No dev support, sales below expectations. PSP was above expectations. No one expected 1/3 of a Nintendo dominated market.

Actually the PSP offers them for free. The price of the console just covers the standard they are setting up for handhelds.

Actually Sony flatout sad the PSP was gonna win the handheld war and drive nintendo into the ground. Most gaming forums were banning people for mocking the PSPs chances when it first arrived and were hellbent that the PSP was gonna win.

DS was ruled to be the end of nintendo by many an online forum member

My girlfriend just bought the Web Browser for the DS, and it is junk. I can't even connect to my wi-fi connection because it uses WPA, which apparently DS doesn't support. Plus Yahoo! doesn't let her sign in as well as a host of other things. However, my PSP doesn't really have an issue in any of these departments.

She ended up giving me her DS browser, she was very disappointed to say the least. I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe they'll release a patch that'll fix these issues in the future. I'll probably just hang onto it.

(edit: Want to point out that I personally have both a DS Lite and a PSP)

I just love the intellegence of people on these boards sometimes.

-So I guess Betamax failing was how they wanted it?

-So I guess MiniDisc failing was how they wanted it?

-So I guess UMD failing was how they wanted it?

DS > PSP

A winner is Nintendo

back one topic.

I guess the PSX was such a success nowdays :)

I am still wondering why sheeps refuse to admit that the PSP is doing well.NobuoMusicMaker

Because this is System Wars and that would be suicide!

Yeh, great ...

Sony doesn't always get their own ... remember how Sony execs said 'the DS is no competition to the PSP which will ultimately dominate in sales' ....

I'm not saying they aren't competing well, I'm saying Sony do not always have their way in the end, else these initiatives wouldn't have been left on the cutting room floor.
