considering what its able to do i wouldnt be surprised if it lasted sonys 10 year expected lifespan
the new nintendo handheld (if there will be one) would probably have features the psp already has like mp3 player, photo viewer, movie player so i wouldnt worry too much bout a new sony handheld coming out any time soon
[QUOTE="iamthe1ne"]sony said in their recent topic about psp anniversary that they're hoping the psp will last up to 10 yearsilikeorange
well, that's crap. it'll be lucky if it lasts another two years. i barely play mine at all anymore. :|
Unfortunately , it's not crap. SONY's CEO Ken Kutagari himself confirmed that PSP will have a 10 years lifespan. And the PSP is now outselling its rival nintendo in terms of handheld console. Not to mention with newest release of Monster Hunter Portable 2G in Japan , the PSP has become a VERY HOT buy for the past few months.
I definately believe that the PSP will live longer than expected.
Since the PSP can get updates online, I see no reason it can't last 10 years. I'm getting it soon because of the remote play feature with the PS3. As long as it keeps coming out with new features Sony can reach out to a broader consumer base. The life span of the PSP will rely on people buying new PSP's, not current owners continueing playing it.
Well PSP is in its 4th year atm, and id expect atleast another 3 years before a PSP2 is released -- with PSP living for another year or so after PSP2 is released... giving PSP a 8 yr lifespan which is preety good ..
just wondering i am thinking at least another 2+ years before the release a new one.dangerd0g24
the new one? what do you mean.. they havent confirmed anything so far... the psp will last more than that as long as we have good games around... updates are good.... they are able to make good games because of the previous updates... wait for e3 and see what happens.. it will be big for sony's ps3 and psp.. write.that.down... am still waiting for ff: dissidia and kh: birth by sleep... and if GT does come out and DMC...
[QUOTE="iva_vkt"]does enywone knok when ff: dissidia will come up?[/QUOTE no updates so far... but it should be out either december or early next year..
im 100% sure that them japanese well get it first.. but i dont mind.. they made em so its ok.. as long they make translatio.. just imagine if they didn't share the ff series..
I think that the PSP has limited life left in it. Ready At Dawn have said they aren't going to make another PSP game, signalling that develoeprs are basically waiting till the next version is announced or moving over to the DS or iPhone.
Here is an article that discusses the possible "death" of the PSP:
the psp should last another 3 years which would give it six in total. i think if games weren't pirated so easily it could last longer. who knows may when sony launches video DL service some of that could filter to psp. also if the music player had more of a EQ and other music sharing abilities it could last longer also.
I think theyll keep updating it like the DS, and then make a new one when Nintendo does bball_freak_2
its only been like 3 yrs, so i would expect 2 or 3 more years. and after that they'll release a psp2. but they will still make a few psp games. Kinda like with the PS2 and PS3. You can still get a new ps2, but they dont release many good new games anymore.
Well, Graphically its a generation and a half over the DS, when Sony can put PS3 graphics on the PSP they'll make a new one. Although, I do kind of want a PSP with two analog sticks
