how long will the psp last?

im just wondering how long will sony keep the psp untill the make a new one.

I just think it'd be amusing if Sony unveil the PSP2 in like 2 years and its more powerful than Wii ^^manicfoot

i dont care how long psp hangs around for, so long as they offer a trade in on the old psp for the new psp

god i love games.... if i die i hope im reborn as a game

wel i hope they wont anounce a new one anytime soon, just recently got mine u kno! anyways it will last 10 years, like sony sed "10 year lifecicle"

It's not going to be tomorrow, so just bite the bullet and buy one ;P

Seriously, I can't see them replacing it any time soon- at least, not with something that isn't backwards-compatible. Look at all the amazing TBA games in limbo right now! Why would they release a new PSP while everyone is waiting for these new games?

honestly, the psp is pretty future proof.

the only motivation for Sony to make a better psp2 is if nintendo brings more harsh competition, and right now, the psp trumps the ds in features. sure the ds has more kiddie games, but little kids don't have the $$ to compusively buy games like teenagers and adults :P

so right now, sony doesn't need to make another psp unless the ds really starts stealing the show. right now, the psp is perfect for real gamers, and the ds is perfect for little kids and grandparents. so nintendo and sony have the entire consumer spectrum more or less covered.

besides, u can always sell your psp when the new one comes out or u hear solid news about a psp2. the price difference pays for all the times u've played your psp now. it's worth it to me.

DS already steal the Show.

lol yea it's stealing the show not because it's technically superior to the psp hardware, but it has more kids and non-serious games, so it takes care of 2 ends of the spectrum while the psp does 1 really well, and is ok on the kids games.

so if anything, sony will put off making a new psp until more developers make games for the psp

sony and nintendo make most of the money off of selling games instead of selling consoles, which means the group that is more likely to compulsively buy games will generate the most income. right now, it's probably the same for both systems. ds has more buyers, but each buyer buys less games. look at a lot of the psp owners here, and they have at least 5 to 10 games for it.

so will it last? i don't know. but i do know that the ds isn't going to kick the psp off the market

sine its a 10 year life cycle doesn't mean a new PSP won't be release in 10 years. They're doing the same thing like the ps2 how its still has its life cycle while the ps3 is out.

So it might be in 2-3 years idk. and they will probably still release psp games while they release psp2 games.

I Think That Sony Is Going To Reveal The PSP 2 Next Year And The Original PSP Will Die In 2010 Or 2011.
