Topic: Shocking Psp sales yay for nIntendo?

If the DS launch hadn't sold out (remember, they didn't release all 1,000,000 the first day and faked the sell out) the media would've been all over everywhere proclaiming their doom. I bet anything no one does that even if the PSP ended up only selling less than half of its first million in week one.

I agree, but that doen't change the fact that Sony screwed up a launch that should have been theirs to win, not only that by shifting as many units as they did to the states they allowed ninty to rack up about a 1/2 mil lead in europe, almost as much as Sony sold in PSP's, while being forced to wait until summer to answer back, and their gamble failed, they would have probably been better off sending 40-50% of the stock to Europe and matching Nintendo there, now nintendo is enjoying a comfortable lead and has a chance this summer to bury the PSP.

I wish they would count how many systems had to be returned because of defects. In my store alone my co workers have gone through 5. We opened one up today and the disc tray didn't even open up. Its even beginning to catch on with customers. Some will come in and ask why so many are having problems.  I guess no one is aware of all the defective systems Sony has put out through out the years.
