Now by no means are the PSP sales horrible, but I think everyone was expecting a bit more from the outrageously sexy handheld brought to you by the runaway leader of the console market...
Just nobody be too quick to write off PSP as another Game Gear or Neo Geo Pocket Color...

I wasn't trying to argue his point at all. I was just trying to add what other sites are saying.
I think anyone who is writing off PSP as another game gear or neo geo pocket color would be an idiot. Neo Geo isn't a household name like Sega or Sony, so that's obviously why they failed, and the reason Sega's system failed was mainly because it was released at the wrong time. There wasn't as big of a market in gaming as there is now, especially with the older gamers that are willing to spend big bucks for better graphics. Back then, the majority of people buying handheld systems was teens and adults buying for kids, and obviously the better pricepoint and name-power that is Nintendo GameBoy ruled supreme.
