Haven't i've been saying this all along. Seriously its pretty obvious that the PSP is struggling. Winners never quit but come on...SONY aint no winnner.... just quit.

So what even if its not no.1 even than it soled in 1 year as much as the Gamecube sold in 5 years . The Xbox sold half the number of PS2 , even than they gane lots of cash . The market is big enough for 2 giants .

Analysts also initially said the PSP would dominate the DS, but hey, now it's gospel, right?

Look at the games posted here, lately. Look at the upcoming peripherals, online downloads and strong rumors of revised hardware coming. Look at how well the PSP has fared even with the NEW DS hardware released. The sales graph corrected for Nintendo's big launch head start still shows a very competitive scenario.

Will the PSP wind up being the #1 worldwide handheld over the DS? At this point, it seems not. Does it HAVE to be in order to keep from 'dying' as you and so many other Nintendo fanatics want? No. Does it mean it isn't a success overall? No.

I guess the umpteenth iterations of 15-20 year old Mario games, cooking, math and four identical dog sims are insufficient to keep you from straying away from your DS this fine Saturday morning, huh?

We all witness the power of DS(Lite) over PSP in Japan. We also witness the unbelievable sale of DS(Lite) in USA and Europe. However, some people still are positive about PSP. I mean, we also know that functions-wise, PSP is much better... Source IGN: http://psp.ign.com/articles/731/731870p1.html

I think it is fine to post news about the PSP that is negative as long as that is how the news source had it. You can't just ignore bad news an hope it goes away. I don't like when they add PSP hate to posts unrealated to the story other than the fact that it meantions the PSP or DS or Sony in general.

I don't listen to what analysts say anyways. For every right prediction they make, they have made 3 wrong ones.

@5, nice try. Joystiq posts slanted anti-Sony crap, but Andrew and Chris are pretty dedicated and have improved PSP Fanboy immensely in the past few weeks.

I don't put stock in analysts and the other PSP/Sony/PS3 doomsaying, but remember this is a FANBOY site. Like the DS/PSP video 'war' it's all meant to drum up activity and advert hits.

I haven't seen a chart or anything showing how PSP sales have gone over the lst 2 years... If it's not shrinking, it's clearly not "dying". Is it a disappointment? I don't know what Sony projected vs. what it's actually done.

Does Sony pay you guys for verbally fellating them or is it more of a hobby?

It's called trolling. Pixelator is an expert.

I wouldn't worry too much. Both Jeanne d' Arc and Final Fantasy are on the way. PSP numbers should jump quite a bit when these titles hit the market.

HEAR YE HEAR YE!!!!

PIXELATOR ART THOU NEWETH KINGETH!!!!

Seriously...i agree 100% with pixelator on almost everything he posts on this site. And I am fed up of Joystiq bashing anything Sony. This has gone TOO far, and has stepped WAY beyound the line when you post something like this on the PSP FANBOY of all places.

Shame on you joystiq, shame on you.

@8. Love your adorable N-suckup 'wii the people' nick. Hypocrite, much?

@9. You're a little confused. The brandwhores like little-wii-boy are 'trolls'. Last time I checked, the title of this site tended to favor the perspective of the PSP FANBOY. As for myself, you can fault me for _responding_ to too many trolls, but trolling isn't my thing. I own and play with ALL the consoles, so I don't feel any need to crap on any of them.
