Why did Sony's Switch fail? What went wrong? This little thing had all the same features besides split-screen multiplayer on one system, eight years before it.
>>
>>388619212
Because sony can't advertise their products for shit, and are arrogant enough to think that people will just flock to them with no encouragement.
>>
No Zelda
>>
Turns out people buy video game consoles for the video games
>>
>>388619305
What about the PS4?
>>
>>388619212
no gaems
>>
Nintendo's Switch is also failing so I guess it's just a bad design.
>>
>>388619212
>fail
they trashed by themselves because it makes pirate fucking easy
>>
>>388619423
PSP had a pretty sizable library by the time this was made.
>>
>>388619462
Microsoft did the promotion for them their by just fucking up constantly.
>>
>>388619305
Yet PS4 is selling purely because of advertisements.
>>
>>388619212
No one knew it even exists and it was only compatible with PSP GO.

>>388619312
GTA>Zelda in every way.
>>
Finding this PSP Go stand at adequate price now is not easy.

It had propietary memory bullshit instead of SD card compatibility
>>
>>388619557
Pretty much this. Before that, Sega.
>>
>>388619946
That was Vita's problem. PSP did use Sony's proprietary card, but those were also used in their cameras so they weren't bullshit expensive.

How did it fail?
-It sold as much as the GBA
-It sold about 18 million more than the 3DS
-It sold more than any Nintendo homeconsole except for the Wii

But yeah I find it funny how the PSP had better TV adapters than the Switch. You could be a TV cable for as little at $10, while you need to spend nearly $100 for an official Nintendo dock that will damage your system, and you have to rely on 3rd parties to do a less shit job and copy the design of your pic.

>>388620134
PSP Go uses another type, M2 Micro.
These used to cost more, and had no SD card adapter solutions.
>>
>>388619212
Vita is better than Go, can stream PS4 games, nuff said.

somewhat related. What a pony
>>
>>388619480
lol
>>
>>388619559
It's actually selling because there isn't a viable alternative in the console space.
>>
>>388619212
The switch will never reach 3DS numbers much less PSP numbers.
>>
It was literally a Wii U, not a Switch.

The Vita's remote play was about the same distance as the Wii U tablet to the console itself.

>>388620468
>Got rid of 2 shit consoles
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>388620468
I hope actually "sold" them instead of just giving then away.
But that would explain why he joined Kinda Funny in the first place.
>>
>>388621068
>Vita'
>OP talks about the PSP
>>
The PSP go was digital only when that wasn't as popular of a way to support games. It required expensive memory cards and some games at the time didn't even have digital versions.
>>
>>388619480
hahaha
>>
>>388621095
>get rid of 1 shit console and 1 good console
>keeps 2 shit consoles
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>388621556
Which is the good console?
>>
>>388619212
>digital only
>>
>>388620373
He's referring to PSP Go you autist
>>
>>388621809
Why would he be refering to the Go model? the normal PSP could also connect to the TV just as well, nothing he said can't be applied to the old model.
>>
>>388619212
tried their hardest to not let you play on your tv
>>
>>388622002
how about you learn to read? he said EIGHT YEARS BEFORE THE SWITCH
>>
>>388622181
Well, he meant to say "over a decade before the swtch" then. Mayhaps he didn't know the normal PSP was already capable of this.
>>
>>388619689
>gta>zelda

Are you 10?
>>
>PSPGo was Digital-Only, and not every PSP game was released Digitally

>Cables and Base were annoying as fuck to buy separately

>Most normal TVs wouldn't let you play fullscreen, instead this tiny box in the middle of the screen

>Most easily acquired TV that let you play with a properly scaled image was the Sony 3D TV, which was otherwise useless

>No single-console multiplayer even with Dualshock 3 support

>Easily hacked but most emulators were pushing up against the limits of the hardware at that point and the PSP is easily eclipsed as an emulation machine these days

Gee I wonder

I had the full setup. It was a nice machine. Useless these days though now that PSP emulation has gotten so good
>>
>>388619212
Except it didn't come with that tv connector dock did it? No?

Then that's why
