It has also proven to be a machine capable of producing experiences that have nothing to do with video games. It won't beat smartphones or portable computers, but the touch-oriented portable is home to some good applications that turn out to be quite fun in their own right, including making music with the Korg DS-10 Synthesizer, making small cartoons with Flipnote Studio, and learning languages with various language programs. Cooking is also something that has been toyed with, outside of using it as a basis for a game."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): December 12, 2004 was the last day we went bonkers for something that released in Japan.
Said product was Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP), the captivating handheld that was supposed to uplift us from the "handheld gaming ghetto" (Sony's words) and deliver a console quality experience in the palm of our hands.
Nintendo clobbered Sony huh, yet the psp went on to sell close to 70 million units; interesting.
You forget to mention that this was Sony's first ever attempt into the handheld market. And the only successful handheld EVER released by any company other than Nintendo.
The Game Gear wasn't successful? Also you forgot to add that Sony did it at a higher price point as well.......I think.
@Sitdown
Game Gear only sold 11 million units worldwide... not considered highly successful.

Ancient flamebait article about last gen systems? (well technically somewhat current in the case of the PSP). This is one of the less useful articles I've seen on N4G in a LONG while. And thats saying A LOT.
not bad? yet if it was the opposite you would've said "ds had a meager 33% market share...epic fail"
Well Nintendo has had no real competition at all until the Psp in the handheld gaming. So yeah if Nintendo only had 33% market share right now it would EPIC FAIL!
this article crap an not even worth pickin sides....
grew up with 1000 lb. PCs an Nintendo
matured with PlayStation
growin old wit all 3.
throw this article into the firepit!
"Fast forward seven years later, and we own multiple DS systems and a healthy library of games. Meanwhile, those PSPs have either been sold or currently collect dust in our attics."
Speak for yourself. Mine is been played constantly.
Why do these articles try to make it seem like the PSP is dead. Are they not seeing the Media Create sales?

Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat writes about the best games so far this year and what they mean for the video game business.
if some aren't games then why is the article best video games...and if they aren't best sellers what makes it the best, a matter of simple opinion?
What a flawed article, are they wanting hits with misleading headlines like that?
Not to mention they miss out some amazing games.
OMG, screenshot from Mass Effect 1 when he talks about Mass Effect 2, and that God Of War shot did not look like the GOW3 kratos model.
Yeah, the screenshot is from Mass Effect 1.
However, that IS a screenshot from God of War 3. It's actually the ending. I know, Kratos looks weird...
Either that, or it is the ending of God of War 2... Oh, I think it's from God of War 2. Huh.
I nitpick about every little thing because someone has a different opinion than me.
It is called an opinion. Sometimes people have different opinions than yourself. Get over it.
To be honest, I prefer Alan Wake over GoW3 and would put Wake on par with ME2. It's just a matter of opinion at the end of the day and I think he nailed the best games of the year thus far.
I loved God of War 3. I beat it three times and received the platinum trophy for it. But I agree with you that I enjoyed Alan Wake more.
