PSP and DS were both hacked to spoon. The difference in sales had to do with the markets they tapped - PSP was a more "adult" handheld, it cost more, was more fragile. The DS won because Nintendo successfully made it appealing to parents and kids with a lower price point, greater durability, and of course first party games. Make the system appealing to a greater number of people and third party support follows, always has. Vita was announced at $250 and Nintendo immediately slighted 3DS early adopters with a price slash and an inevitable second joystick, just to keep up. Thanks for the 20 free games *roll eyes*

Looking forward to the Vita being cracked wide open.
