is PSP a dead platform?

MGS: Peace Walker sold over 400,000 copies in japan alone, what numbers do you think it will pull in america and of course Worldwide? or will it just be pirated to death....

Both the DS and PSP are hitting low points, the PSP moreso though.

The PSP still has a few punches to throw it seems.

MGS: Peace Walker (Which will no doubt sell great)

KH: BBS

Monster Hunter 3

Sony wasn't thinking smart with the PSP, I mean look at the at the lack of dual anolog sticks. Sony blatently ignored the community and went off to do its own crazy experiments. I think they wantet it just to ride on the Playstation name after the PS2.

They messed up bad on the PSP and PS3, the diffrence is they fixed the problems with the PS3, they made the PSP worse by releasing the PSPGo....

peace walker comes out in june, with a new and improved persona in the month after.

the psp isnt dead, it just hasnt had many great games come out but with games like mgs peace walker and kingdom hearts coming out it should start picking up again.

I was just naming a few but yes, VC2 and P3P too.

It's got a pulse, but that's it. It's one of those platforms that wlll do well in Japan and nowhere else from now on.

How is it dead? Its making money unlike the ps3.

PSP hasn't been making money. It has horrible HW sales month over month and the worst SW sales month over month. It is pretty much not just dead. It has died 2 years ago. PSP2 should be released soon becasue that stench of psp and its suckfest in terms of software, controls (dual analogue stick), sound (the sound breaks after 2 hours), battery life (the hardware last 5 hours), and the fact that it gets scratches make it a huge disappointment.

If the PSP was "dead," Sony would have discontinued the system years ago. As it is, it sold more than 50 million systems worldwide and is a competitor against the DS in Japan.

If it wasn't for all the pirates this platform would be way more alive then what it currently is.

Once 3DS comes out it sure won't have much point. I mean why make games like Peace Walker on the PSP only when a 3DS port works easy?

Since the 3DS will be as powerful as GCN if not more it can handle all PSP games, so i really see the 3DS getting the nintendo-centric portable titles while getting much more of the PSP-ish portable HOME console attempts too

PSP has been #1 in weekly hardware sales in Japan for quite a while now. Not bad for a dead system.

How can it be dead when its about to have its best year this year? VC2, MGS: PW, P3P KH:BBS etc.

its definately not dead for me with upcoming titles such as

MGS: Peacwalker

GOW

Parasite Eve

FF

Kingdom Hearts

Modnation Racers

VC2

Monster Hunter 3 :P

and maybe a SF4 version :)

It aint over till its over.

I pretty much only play my psp twice a year, when games that interest me come out. I don't much care for MGS, so the next game I'll be playing for it will be KH:BBS. Still glad I have one though, for those few games..

Only in the way that more developers need to make use of it. A games system does need constant support. it's almost an attractive prospect, but it's being supported a bit like the GameCube (not literally).

It's not dead, wince there are quite a few high profile releases coming. It just hasn't had the support in NA that it could have.

The reason that the PSP can't be a great system is the lack of a second analog. Think of all the 1st and 3rd person games that could have been WAY better if there was a second analog stick for camera control. It's been frustrating the hell out of me for a few years now. And instead of working around that and making more games that work well with the controls it does have, developers are still pumping out 1st and third person action games and just electing to use the left shoulder button to center the camera.

Think about the battlefront games. They would have been SO MUCH BETTER if you could actually aim where you were shooting. Sony should really take heed and make their next one with 2 analogs if they want it to be taken seriously as a gaming console.

there is a lota hate out there but this is SWs, the PSP is alive and well! IMO best handheld ever and still a lot of room to great better.

Um, maybe the DS has just hit a low point, I don't know, but it's the bestselling system of all time and has a very impressive library, with more promising games on the way. The PSP has always been in a kind of a lull, but it has some great games, with big ones like FF Agito XIII, Birth by Sleep, PE: 3rd Birthday, and Valkyria Chronicles 2 coming out.

A 60+ million-unit dead platform.

it's not dead, but the DS crushes it in both sales and software

On western shores it's on life support, but the PSP is still more popular than the Wii in Japan.

no one acknowledges the 60-70 million unit sales.
