The PSP was absolutely not a failure. Did people hack it? Yes, but I knew plenty in high school that still bought games for it at the tail end of its lifespan. The system was revolutionary for its time. I used it like an iPhone, watching videos, saving images, and listening to music. It had one of the best portable libraries, and if there was a game not released in your region, you could always import it. I had, like, 5 PSPs growing up. A few were broken by others, and 2 were stolen. I still play it to this day. I only ever played Pokemon, Sonic, and 1st-party Nintendo games on DS, but there was always something to play on PSP. Even years later, there are translations and hacks getting made for the PSP. The PSP was on the same level as the GBA with graphics on par with ps2 and could even play ps1 games.
