"The PSP is a reasonably successful product at the profit-and-loss level. But as a product concept, there are cautionary tales to learn from it," said Bach, speaking to Dean Takahashi at Venture Beat.
"While it is good at producing audio, it's not a good music player because it doesn't have local storage (except for flash memory slots). You can't keep your music there. It has a beautiful screen, but you can only get the video under the Universal Media Disc format. That format hasn't been successful.
"On a game level, it has done well. But even there, it is mostly PlayStation 2 ports. There isn't much original content," he added.
Bach said that Microsoft's philosophy with its Zune handheld will be to take things slowly, to focus on individual elements over time instead of trying to offer everything - such as music, games and video - out of the box.
