It's a success in Japan, but that's about it. It's pretty damn rare to find someone with a PSP outside of hardcore gamers that need every platform possible.

Weirdly enough, all of my friends have one.
The reason the DS is such a success is because its casual as ***.
MOST of the hardcore gamers pirate the good DS games.

Most people I knew in HS as well as quite a few in college had one...not to mention every little kid i've seen on a plane playing ds while playing psp(i was mind blown the first time i saw this)
PSP has been a giant success for the consumer, not for Sony. That's my take on it.
Why? because in reality it doesn't have hundreds of great games like other platforms and is now easily hacked? lol
Like I said already, love my PSP but I really don't see how anyone can argue about it being a giant success story for anyone.
If PSP is easily hacked, the door was left open on nintendo DS seeing as you can DL any game for it and put it on a memory card. Yeah I'll pay $100 for a hand held i can get EVERY game for free.

Yeah. I don't even know if there's a PSP emulator out or not. All of my gamer friends have one for games such as Persona, Disgaea, Dissidia, and those Vocaloid music games (they look amusing, I won't lie). I personally cannot sit on my computer to play a handheld game, so I actually buy DS games.

There was ONE person I saw with a PSP at my high school. One. >_<

It's always been easily hacked, and that is why it has been a success for the consumer. It's also got a massive underground following that create applications for it and such.
I view anything hackable as a massive success because it gives the consumer more power to use their property than the company intended.

The DS has hundreds of great games? News to me.
The PSP has more good games but less games overall.
You choose to single out DS for the purpose of a fanboy type argument. Point proven. I love my PSP, haven't played my DS for over 12 months and spend more time using my also comparatively unsuccessful PS3 than both lol But please continue... PSP was a giant success!!!! lol
So your comparing the PSP to a home console then?
It doesn't quite work like that. Also PS3 unsuccessful?

Completely missing the point - enough people buy the DS and the games for it, for developers to continue making tons of games for it. The problem with PSP from day 1 has been a lack of good games for it over the lifespan, I'm not talking about the few months someone random owned it since last year. And now that it's easy for anyone to use a firmware hack, there is even less incentive for developers to continue working on it, ergo PSP2 will be coming out sooner rather than later.
What is this argument about again? Oh yes, PSP was a great success.
I'm not even sure what we're really debating about right now.
We don't care about sales. If there is a game we want to play, we play it. End of the story.
I wanted to play Dissidia/Crisis Core/Kingdom Hearts etc, so I bought a PSP.
I wanted to play Pokemon/Kingdom Hearts/Various Mario Games etc, so I bought a DS.
Hey, hey HEY!
You....you cut that out. Man.

My high school banned handhelds. .-.
Well so did ours (as most do since it's a 'distraction') but that didn't stop people from sneaking them, bwahahha.

I see your fanboy gene is selectively missing words and context again. Comparatively. So I'm guessing PS3 was bigger than PS1 and PS2 now? and PSP is the most successful handheld ever?
Get a grip guys. I've already said like 5 times now, I love my PSP lol

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
