Sales pretty much dropped in North America and Europe after 2011. It has continued to sell well enough in Japan, but not enough to push it near 80 million. 75 million may be obtainable, but it's more than likely around 73 million.Quote:

So like 75 million PSPs sold is impressive. Is it still outselling the Vita ?Quote:

I find it amazing how apprehensive both Nintendo and Sony are in regards to giving America some of the big Japanese hitters on handhelds. Would it really hurt to try and test the waters here?
I'm with you on that! Luckily we have companies like Xseed and Atlus bringing a few great games over. We're still missing out though.Quote:

Ha Lan Di.
Yeah, it's been that way for a year. Amazon and Nintendo had a falling out due to the original 3DS.Quote:

More to do with the problems of the 5200 itself and Warner/Atari's target for the platform than anything else. (given their alternatives at the time, it honestly had no place -the computer line already filled the niche the 5200 targeted and then some -THAT line could have used the added marketing though- and other than that they could have better filled the mid-range niche with the 3200 instead --Crazy to think that at one point they were planning to launch BOTH the 3200 and 5200, albeit even crazier that they opted to drop the 3200 in favor of the 5200 -I could certainly understand dropping both in favor of just supporting the 2600 and A8, but what they did was just weird)Quote:

It had to do with patents that Bushnell setup a long time ago. Simple things like scrolling screens, to name a few. They probably could have went after Nintendo, but had already felt their wraith with Donkey Kong.Quote:

It's not too hard to find. Even the Genesis controller port was a direct copy of the Atari 2600. ;)Quote:
