Sega to launch PSP beater in 2009

Shouldn't be hard, PSP has faded and DS is going stronger than ever.SuperBladez

I love my PSP it's great but I hope Sega goes along with it, because it might be a pre-cursor to a real console again if it does well (dreams of Dreamcast 2 etc.).

Shouldn't be hard, PSP has faded and DS is going stronger than ever.SuperBladez

How has it faded? It has been doing exceptionally well this year.

listen to 300 song with its 256mb memory:lol:

LOL since when are good songs under 1 mb and 256 mb is nothing to brag about. I'm happy with my 8gb psp 8)

Edit sorry hold up to 500 songs with its 256mbmemory HAHAHAHAHAHA:twisted:

I might buy it because I like SEGA I might not buy games for it I would use it for other stuff.

But I probably wouldn't buy it I also liked the look of the Handheld.

Sega...

:lol:

That's what i was thinking. Although it hasn't been getting much love from the software side of things..

lol exactly what I said in my other thread, "Dead Horse"... nobody plays PSP anymore unless they got a PS3.

lots of people who play psp dont have a ps3, so you failed there, loads people still play them, nice try

Is this thing an actual video game handheld, or is it just a multi-media device?

Dont get me wrong, I loved Sega back in the day, but this portable pile of outdated garbage will not be a "PSP killer". So pathetic! Its going to be a while before ANY handheld gaming systwm is evn on the same level as PSP.

Oh, And I always get a chuckle when haters say the PSP is dead, faded, etc. It has sold nealry twice as many units as the Xbox 360 and they were released about the same time. I wish I had stock invested in that "failure"! Try harder, geeks.

Yeah :lol: Thats why PSP is selling like crazy in Japan :lol: Everybody plays it.

Your obviously a fanboy or just jealous.

hes a fanboy just cant face the fact that people still play em, you know how fanboys are in deep denial as it is

Super-Mario-Fan

Just a multimedia device. BTW PMP means personal media player

thats quite possibly the dumbest thing i've ever heard, thats like saying "we're going into this planning on being the runner up to the ds but we'll damn sure beat sony"

Yeah, thats true. Sometimes you have to leave a fanboy alone, it will lead to alot of quotes.

N-Gage all over again?

Anyway, I don't think this will the same games quality as the DS or even the PSP. For example, isn't 7th Dragon supposed to be released in 2009 for the DS? If this thing comes in 2009, wouldn't it make more sense to make their RPG come on o n their portable system rather than the DS?

especially this year, PSP has been selling alot of units, and is getting alot of major games.

"Earlier today a story surfaced claiming that Sega would be launching a "PSP beater" in 2009 by the name of the Sega Vision.

We were more than a little skeptical about this story, so we decided to get in touch with representatives at Sega USA to check if the rumor is true, and if the Sega Vision is intended as a re-entry into the handheld videogames sector.

Sega's response was clear and concise - "The Sega Vision is a real device, a spokesperson said, "But it is not intended as a re-entry to the gaming hardware market or a rival to Sony or Nintendo's systems."

"Sega is committed to remaining a software third party in the videogames industry, but also has several non-games products in the market. The Vision is primarily an MP4 video player with some basic games functionality, and not a new handheld gaming machine.

That clears that up, then. Sega seems quite content with the business they're currently doing in the videogames software sector, and at this minute has no interest in becoming a contender in hardware once again.

Further investigation on our part finds the Sega Vision isn't actually a Sega-developed device at all, and in fact a cheap Chinese iPod-st1yle alternative, rebranded with the name of the fallen hardware company.

The Sega Vision is not a PSP beater. It's not even a dedicated gaming device. "

Wow I simply can't wait to play Java mini games! Like the kind I can play on my PC! For free...bobbetybob

So, it's another cheap Chinese replica, but with the actual Sega name on it ? Why aren't they suing them, then ?
