I explained why there is no direct competition.

the PSP is hardly a toy when it can browse web sites, play videos and MP3\'s

that can go for you also

it\'s hardly a "toy"

i can understand that it could be treated like a toy in the hands of an 12 year old, but that is hardly the case in our demographic.(unless you guys are 12 and mom buys your game units)

mm, despite what u "THINK" it is, doesn\'t change the fact it\'s a toy. Its userbase would most like be 12 year olds. Its a handheld gaming device.. that can browse the net blah blah blah

« **Reply #54 on:** April 10, 2005, 04:40:50 PM »

it\'s targeted userbase is NOT 12 year olds

look at the games alone, if not the price tag

DS? now there\'s a child\'s toy

Just as we had a wide demographic for the PlayStation and PS2, the PSP is going to appeal to a wide demographic across a variety of different ages and [attract] a high female-and-male ratio as well. If you look at the form-factor, I have no problem taking out my PSP if I\'m flying to San Francisco, New York, or Tokyo and want to watch a movie. There are some devices out there that I\'d be a little embarrassed to pull out, especially now that I have so much gray hair. We designed the PSP so that it would be a fashion statement. We want to appeal to a wide demographic and not just the teenager demographic.

What makes it a kid\'s toy?

Besides the fact that kids like video games..

PSP is a "luxurious" kind of toy.It can do things a toy cant and for this reason its expensive --->harder for a consumer to decide if he should buy one even if he wants it.Especially considering the current price.$250-$300+?
There is no direct competition end of story.The sales PSP has achieved in that price is simply outstanding even if DS has sold more.

« **Reply #57 on:** April 10, 2005, 04:56:20 PM »

so i guess cell phones and PDA\'s are toys also?

if a consumer wants one, he will buy one, cost is unimportant.

« **Reply #58 on:** April 10, 2005, 05:02:46 PM »

You know whats funny?You thought I disagreed with you.

No PDA\'s and Cell phones are not toys just because they can play games.But the PSP offers real gaming experience and its supposed to offer the same gaming experience a "mere" toy offers(someting a PDA and a Cell phone cant do well).Games is a priority for the PSP still.
Despite our slightly different approach I believe like you that the PSP and the DS arent competing each other directly.

§ôµÏG®ïñD · « **Reply #59 on:** April 10, 2005, 05:03:14 PM »

phones and PDAs aren\'t gaming devices... They have gaming as extras just like PSP has the net bs as a extra.
