However, it still made it among the highest-selling handheld devices and video games of all time. Some consider it to have been a failure after Nintendo DS almost doubled its sales despite it having excellent hardware.

Its introduction was a tremendous success despite the opinions that it was a very expensive handheld device compared to former ones. In addition, with a dual processor and hardware accelerator, it was capable of running ports that were the same as those of the initial PS2 versions. PSP compared well to 6th generation consoles such as the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube in terms of graphics and memory capacity. The console has undergone many improvements since its release, with PlayStation Vita being its first successor. PSP was released in Japan in 2004 and in March and September 2005 in North America and the PAL region.

The Sony Computer Entertainment created the famous PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld video game console which formed part of the 7th generation portable video game consoles.
