Alpha Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'd have to say the PSP is probabaly 10x better than the Nintendo DS. However, the price is way too high and it has already been known to have the WORST LAUNCH ever. Unless Sony doesn't reduce the price, the PSP may dwindle with the rest such as N-Gage, NeoGeo Pocket, etc. Here is an interesting topic to read about this.

I'm sure it'll gain more ground in the future, but Sony has a tendency to flock up a launch one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluestinger X Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 has sony released any sales report for the launch day? im sure nintendo is just sittin back ready to laugh its ass off since they had such a better launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxen Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) Well, if sales really were low, I think Sony only has themselves to blame. I didn't see a single TV commercial until after I already had a PSP in my hand. I don't get why they didn't start the advertising campaign earlier. Anyway, I agree with garageink, the PSP is freaking amazing. I'm amazed each time I fire up Wipeout Pure. But I think the momentum will build. A friend of mine went to see his family for Easter this weekend and he took his PSP. While there his brother bought one as did his sister and her husband after seeing his in action.

(along with the price) software wise I think sony had a better launch then Nintendo. once people see these things from friends and at school/work they will be in line though.

Thraxen Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 There is one commercial (maybe the only one) that I have seen quite a lot over the past two days. I think it is supposed to be from the view of the PSP itself. It starts off with some Japanese lady placing the PSP in its box and then you see people take it out and start carrying it around, playing games, and listening to music. It ends with some guy putting the PSP in his gym bag (or some sort of bag). It's a decent commercial and does show some game footage, but I don't think they are making good enough use of the Playstation brand name. They briefly show the original Playstation logo at the start of the commercial, but that's about it. Most people are familiar with the logo, but I really think the should come right out and say "PlayStation Portable". The Playstion brand is hugely successful, they need to make full use of it.

Wizard Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Software wise, people can say it's good enough, while hardware wise, what the hell were they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
