"PSP Usage Lower than Expected"

[ShadowMarth]

This interesting article from slashdot has plenty of good facts and figures. Ammunition as I call it. Silver bullet to fanboys if there ever was one... They act as if it's a suprise.

to be fair though
it's been a while since i really played my DS (maybe a week or more)
and I don't watch videos on it often (even though i have a GBA Movie advance)

[ShadowMarth]

Why not man? Get Advance wars. Or nintendogs. Or Meteos.

i havent played my DS in a little while either. I've been busy with school and all though.

Then when was the last time you played it? Mine was 3 weeks ago for about 10 mins. But, I haven't played my DS for a month so...

People, you buy these things and you don't use them? I play on mine at least once every 2 days just to remind me why i bought it and to enjoy playing it.

Wonder if I play my PSP like that :S

Heh, I didn't play my DS for like, um... four months? I got pretty bored of Super Mario DS, then had a three-month gap until it was released here so I could get another game and I got Rayman DS... so yeah, until just before summer it's been pretty empty.

To add fuel to the real debate, I am not at all surprised that the PSP is not getting enough usage. Alot of people with a PSP will already have an MP3 player as they were extremely popular (here at least) last Christmas, mainly due to the iPods popularity. Now there's virtually no great games yet on the PSP (and don't get me wrong, it was exactly the same for the DS for a while), people are not even bothering to bring their PSP out and instead using their MP3's/contemplating life.
