At this point it's safe to say that, if not something that will take the lead, the PSP will be the first portable to be a real success outside Nintendo's own... EVER! I was too cowardly to take a solid position either way... no wait, too LOGICAL! Yeah, that's the ticket. Anyway, this is the evidence I was looking for.
Now then, let's see how well it does in America. I'm pretty certain that... um okay I guess it is hard to say. When did the DS launch in Japan again? I know that the DS got a huge lead in America anyway, that could mean a lot, since it always has for Sony... Then again...
Honestly? I always thought that the PSP had about the chance of success that the DS had. I said something to the effect of "Well, the real question is if the market is willing to pay that much for a handheld. If so, I think both could do well." However, I also said I really didn't think the market WAS willing to buy a super expensive handheld. The second the DS took off by insane amounts, I realized it was and the PSP could do well itself.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
