PSP outsells DS in Japan

[Weltall]

You only say this because they succeeded. Had the 64DD succeeded you'd say that about that. If R.O.B. had succeeded you'd be saying that robot accessories are of course a natural kind of controller. Etc. Nintendo tries a lot of things. Pretty much all were good ideas. Most work. Some are more popular than others.

Of course I say it because they succeeded. The success of an idea is not measured merely by it's own merit, but also by how it's applied. When you create something new, you must also present a valid reason for it to exist, a valid application. There are plenty of great ideas out there that never come to fruition because while they sound really cool, they are either pointless or lack practicality.

With all of Nintendo's successful contrivances, you'll almost always find some sort of accompanying application. The analog stick had Mario 64, the Zapper had Duck Hunt... and the others had broad applications. Now, having a good application isn't the only necessary ingredient, price, ease of use, practicality, and so forth also count. The failures always lack one or more of these. [/QUOTE]
