Yes I know there are a few more hits around the corner, but you cannot deny we are hurting for games.

Give it a break about the whole 2 analog sticks thing its becoming childish, its not up to sony to make all the new games, thats the develpers field, sony publish new games when and as they can, and the reason they release new models of psp is to address the problems from earlier ones...common sense really.

It's not childish, honestly if they made the PSP like that they'd be making WAY more money.

i agree with rag. although there r some great games out using only 1 analog stick, if the psp had 2 the developer would have an easier time producing great games

they make more money and keep the PSP fresh by making new models. that helps them make more moeny then simply throwing out a 2 analog stick psp. they woudl have to spend lots on advertising. their method is to attract new generation as well and sucker out the old into buying a new product. but you should relise this, all consoles and portable systems are sold WAY LESS than they are actually worth. They sell it cheap because its the soft ware and accessories that are needed to make it a great system, and that helps them make the profit of selling the system because if they sold the system it self, they would be losing money, unless they pump the price above the value it cost to produce this awesome device. They have so many ways to make money. I believe it will be a long time before we see dual- analog stick psp.

It's not up to Sony on release of games.

Piracy makes PSP loose it's flare. It is the easiest console or platform to pirate. Its not even PSP games that are easy, even PS1 games are quick to install.

Its business wise for developers to stay on other platforms.

Like they were talking about on the hotspot last week. The developers could make a psp game and make x dollars, or they could make it for the wii, spend half the time, and make 4 times as much dollars.

I was going to say the same thing :lol: Lemme add something, Last gen sony did the same thing with the PS2 by making more models. Now they are doing it with the PS3 adding more GB's of space. And you never see them running out of games? Theres a plenty coming out for PSP, It's not my fault you guys buy like 2-3 games a year...

You know, I'm thinking: Are people who asking for 2 analogs really that stupid? It would mean that games coming out later wouldn't be playable on the older models PSP. Why? That's right, the lack of a second analog. So people who keep asking for a second analog on the PSP, think a little before you post and wait for PSP2 to see 2 analogs. jeez

Making money and not innovating = poor business model.

Sony shoves out new model PS3's and decreases their overall ability constantly.

Same with the PSP, cheap upgrades are not innovation. It's poor business at its best.

Why do you think the CEO of Sony America stated and I quite when he was asked [Do you think you will recover the 3 billion in R&D costs of the PS3?] His reply was "Not in my life time." He knows the business was poor.
