With the popularity of Gran Turismo and strong PSP hardware sales, this could give the PSP an even bigger boost. Do you think this will help the PSP? Or is the PSP still doomed?

Shane mentions that he hears GT PSP is at E3 towards the end of the 1UP Show. I really hope so.

If it had been one I'd have bought one. Now I have a DS.

As far ahead as the Wii is in the console race the DS has a even much bigger lead. So good news for the psp fans that want it but no I do not think it will be much help.

I doubt one game is going to triple sales. I think Mario Kart is more popular than Gran Turismo...

I never was a big racing fan so this doesn't concern me too much, but I know fans of the series have been waiting for it so I hope it comes true.

I thought that game was announced before the PSP was even released. Nothing can stop the DS and just like MGS: PO it will have huge sales and 10x more downloads.

When a "game" which teaches you how to cook for your family is one of the top sellers on the DS, i really doubt many people are going to put it down to play Gran Turismo.

Strong enough to kick Mario Kart off the racing kind of handhelds? It's possible, and since one of the very few genres that sell well on the PSP is racing, I could see a lot of effort put into this. At least Sony hasn't entirely abandoned the PSP for other forms of media :?

he referred to psp being "doomed".

He is implying that PSP is in competition with another handheld. I wonder what hes referring to..........

It'll definitely increase sales, just like the Monster Hunter series does in Japan, but as for tripling the PSP's sales for an entire year to allow it to catch up to the DS? Not a chance, there's just too much of a lead. It'd literally have to sell millions of PSP's.
