This is primarily a podcast, but there is a short article with it. Also worth noting, this podcast came out before the Steam Deck OLED was announced, although it’s possible the participants knew of its existence considering they had an early review unit.

    A total of 22 games sold over a one million copies on the PSP. The number of PSPs sold is irrelevant, the number of games is what matters because most consoles are sold at cost or a loss. People bought the PSP because it was great at running homebrew games. Sony locked that down on the Vita and it sold way worse.

    And then you provided a list of other failed attempts to get a piece of the Nintendo handheld market. Just because it was released doesn’t mean it was successful. If the PSP or any of these other handhelds where profitable they would of had successors sold today.

      Okay buddy, if 80 million units isn’t successful I don’t know what to tell you, guess we have different definitions of success.

        I explained why it didn’t matter, did you read what I wrote? Can you please answer why Sony stopped making the PSP if it was so successful, maybe I’m missing something?

              Ah well fair enough, if Mr Sony says 80 million units isn’t a significant sales number I guess I am wrong!
