Really boring. Look, we accept that the PSP has some issues, but we're really getting tired of the Western games media trying to kick it at every given opportunity. The device has sold over 50 million units, is the top selling device in Japan week-after-week, and remains the only platform to compete with Nintendo in the space they've dominated for over 20 years. Get a reality check games journalists, the PSP is far from a dismal failure.
Still, comments like these from Ready At Dawn's co-founder Ru Weerasuriya aren't helping. That's Ready At Dawn — y'know, the guys who've made a name for themselves working on Sony's portable platform.
It was the first portable that Sony released its a trial by fire, he said. Its a good platform and you can make amazing things on it. I think that weve tried as much as possible to prove that in the last seven years.
It was doomed from the very get-go. There are some things which arent conductive to calling it a true portable gaming platform and calling it a connective platform, although it has wi-fi.
Theres so many things that publishers and the manufacturer and Sony dropped the ball on its natural, its the first one.
See, games journalists don't pick up on the "it's natural" comments and instead hone in on the "doomed". It's doomed folks. PSP is doomed. In fact, let's do a Kotaku and start talking about the PSP in the past-tense because we all know the PSP is dead, right? Games media, isn't it time you started to champion the industry you're in rather than spit all over it?
