PSP second place behind iPod
Everyone wants to compete with the iPod, but only one company has been
successful at getting close to the iPod's dominance as a personal media
player (PMP). No, it's
not Microsoft. It's Sony. People have criticized
Sony
for failing to capitalize on personal media like Apple has, but many
forget that the PSP is not just a games machine, but a PMP as well.
According to
MP3newswire.net,
the PSP is in second place in the competitive PMP market, selling one
system per every 2.3 iPods sold. Considering how people seem to buy
iPods by the dozen, we can deduce that PSP sales are quite brisk.
With a beautiful, large widescreen,
and the ability to do so many other things (games, internet, etc.), the PSP is easily
the best PMP out there. Yes, some may argue that Memory Sticks are expensive, but with
recent price drops, that argument simply doesn't hold too much weight to it.
