That's still a fairly recent development then.
The DS has only been selling like wildfire since the Lite came out. PSP sales in the US before that were outpacing the DS by a good margin prior to it's release. My point is though, the PSP can't really be considered a failure by any stretch. It's been quite successful in fact, which is fairly astonishing for a handheld not made by Nintendo. I just get a little tired of people who say it's not doing well without ever looking at the sales numbers. Just because they're obsessed with Nintendo's little gimmick doesn't mean the PSP hasn't done well.
