Dont get me wrong, I want the psp to live a lot longer, but does anyone know when it will die off, or and if it will be succeeded by any future sony handhelds?

Thanks.

I hope it doesnt die, but it would be nice if they brought out a version that has two analog nubs.

Who knows, even if there is a PSP 2, that doesnt mean it'll kill the PSP. Look at PS2.

PSP should last at least until 2010, probably until 2011.5, and possibly until 2013.

Thank you for the smile tonight. If your games list is correct for your account then you're obviously a PC gamer. Of course you wouldn't like a psp. I'll give you $50 for your "dust collector" if you don't want it. I have a 10 year old that wants one.

I honestly think that once PS3 sales start picking up, PSP sales will as well due to the fact that if Sony goes along with their plan of having all their devices communicate one way or another then everything will be fine in the future. I'm guessing that the PSP will last till 2010 at the most which sucks for me since I just recently got one.

Thanks. I believe in my prediction 100%. Its based on previous console & portable timetables, sales momentum, Nintendo's handheld strategy & history, Sony's videogame market strategy & history, etc.

Hahah... That is great XD (but seriously)... I think probably four more years or so... maybe three if graphics like Crysis become the medium quicker than expected. I personally wouldn't care if a PSP2 came out tommorow (and I just bougt my PSP a few months ago) If it just had say *coughtwoanalogstickscough*, put in 256MB DDR2RAM, and if they could get somewhat better graphics, like... bad Xbox360 graphics or so (maybe a little worse) then I would say that'd be a true sucessor.

Fix the two main problems of the first one, and give us a bonus of bootiful graphics!

The PSP will probably die in 5-10 years. Come on people, they just released the PSP Slim. There are still games that are going to come out in a few years or so. Remember, God of War: Chains of Olympus is coming out in March 2008 and also Final Fantasy Crisis Core (unknown date to be translated as of now). :)

Yeah,like many said,probably in the next decade. I do hope for backward compatibility if there is a PSP 2,though.

No time soon that's for sure. Since releasing the slim, PSP's are selling like hotcakes. Try to find a Daxter pack in stores these days. It's no easy feat...

Same here. I want them just to release one with 2 analog nubs. That would make everyone want a PSP.

Thing is with Frameware a lot of things can be added to the PSP without needing a whole new console, the only things that cant be impoved much are hardware related, like graphics, which are great as they are.

Well I admit, the PSP has quite a bit of potencial left, but just look at the PS2, the graphics deffinately look dated, you can easely tell that they are previous generation... but what would deffinately benifit the PSP is a better CPU, GPU, and some added ram, and maybe higher bus speeds, then it seems like i am asking for a bit too much.

I'm impressed with the games that are coming on the PSP right now (looking forward to the remake of the original Star Ocean myself! :D). Hopefully we'll get lucky more will be on the way. I'm not ready for the PSP to die yet!

doesnt seem to be going anywhere any time soon, there are strong growing library of games, strong hardware sales, and firmware that can always be improved. The PSP is here to stay!

The PSP has a big list of games, but few of them are great games. The PSP needs a solid RPG that isnt turn based.

Even though DS sells astronomical amounts, it does not mean that PSP does not. Actually, it has sold a lot more than Gameboy Advance did in the same time. About future? PSP slim is just announced, and it sold around 1 million pieces in 2 weeks when prequel of Final Fantasy 7, Crisis Core was released in Japan. That's for people who says there are no good games coming for PSP, you cannot overlook the fact that Square-Enix is just warming up catering PSP - with Final Fantasy Tactics, Crisis Core and new Kingdom Hearts - and no-one should forget new God of War (Edit: Not S-E title offcourse) ^_^.

It looks like there are a lot of PC-players who have bought PSP for PC'ish gaming - RTS and first-person shooters - no one else needs two analog sticks. For me, two sticks does not matter.
