Sony needs to abandon the PSP and concentrate solely on PS3 instead.

IMO, Sony needs to abandon the PSP and concentrate solely on PS3 instead. PSP lost it's chance to make it big against DS. Why waste resources making PSP versions of Resistance, Killzone, LBP and Gran Turismo when they can invest that time and money into PS3 games instead. Also MGS Peace Walker should have been made for the bigger consoles. It is the next big installment of the series anyway, how can it be taken seriously being a handheld game?

well in some respect I agree I would have loved Peace Walker to have been on PS3 and not the PSP, imagine how awesome that would have been

No.

Sony needs to find a way to make the PSP popular again. The Go was a good start but the execution was flawed.

imo, Sony needs to concentrate on the PSP in a different way than Nintendo do with the DS. They know what the PSP can do and how it's different, then why not have one of their divisions making "PSP specific" games? Also the PSP makes profit for Sony unlike the PS3 so stopping that will be a nono.

Sony, release a 150$ PSP Go with the older UMD games you own being transferable for free or release a PSP 2Go.:P

It would've been expensive? Yes.

Would've taken longer to make? Yes.

Would've been worth it? Absolutely!:P

i agree about MGSPW

same goes for Valkyria Chronicles 2 on psp, like a giant kick in the nuts for anybody who liked VC1 but doesn't own a psp

PSP needs to be more like the iphone, where you can download small addictive games for $1.

It NEEDS those creative games as well, since most of its library are portable versions of PSOne, PS2, and PS3 games.

If nothing else it's doing well in Japan.vashkey

LOL Im sick of people saying japan is the portable game market... DS, PS , Ipod Touch all do better in the NA and EU

I don't care if Sony stops making games for it, but if you want Sony to stop manufacturing PSP's than I completely disagree.

The PSP has the best library out of every system (not including PC) this generation.

I disagree, the PSP is a great system.

they need to take the ps2 off the shelvs first. then lower the ps3 to 250 with a few games and blu ray movies.

It's still selling very well. I'm mad about Peace Walker aswell but PSP has tons of great games. I just think Sony should lower the price on memory sticks and I'm pretty sure the core system has been sitting at the $170 price point for 2-3 years why not drop the price on it by like $20 aswell.

That's not going to happen. I like my PSP and the games I play for it. Sony needs to get more games on the PSP, that's all.

No. The psp is better than the ps3.roosuu

Disagree. Sony just needs to give PSP more support and produce mass production of great titles

Sony should abandon the PSP Go but not the PSP. I think Sony should actually give more support to it, and Peace Walker is going to be awesome even if it on the PSP.

no they just need to make more games for it.

No. What they really need is more great PSP exclusives like Patapon and Loco Roco.

Shelving something because "it isn't as succesful as the competition" is poor business tactics if they can still turn a profit from it. Now the PSP Go on the other hand.

I would say they need to drop the PS2 before they drop the PSP.

Right, because abandoning a profitable product to throw more funding into an unprofitable one is the best idea ever.

Probably because they're still making money off of it. Contrary to popular notions on this board the PSP didn't exactly sell terribly.

How will it exactly make the ps3 better by taking out the psp? The psp is selling, bringing profit so the logic behind your topic is untrue.

What's next? "Nintendo needs to abandon the DS and concentrate solely on WII instead"?

PSP was only insanely popular, from what I've seen, word of mouth, etc, for only the first couple of months to a year of release. Then, it was hyped to top the ... i-pod, really. DS was looked down at because of its low specs but we all know who won the overall battle of the handhelds. Idk, it just seems SONY does not know how to do portable gaming right. Most of the PSP games were stuff many weren't interested in, so sit and play for a short burst, while on the go. Then you had the terrible battery life and all the extra crap like movies on the UMD and etc which didnt really matter because of the poor battery life. For the next PSP, Sony needs to design it to have a long battery life and the games need to be suitable for portable gaming. Also to not price the unit over 200 dollars..

id be quite angry if they abandoned the psp.

i thoroughly enjoy my psp 4-5 hours a week.

The trouble is that the PSP is only a crappy system outside of Asia. Maybe Sony should vocally encourage developers to localise their games in America and Europe.

pshh psp is doing great in a nintendo only market

psp is sonys first venture into the world of handheld and its sold +50 million units worldwide

but some games i do wish were coming to ps3 that are from psp

peace walker anyone?

What I think is Sony should release a PSP2. Small Form Factor, Great Battery, Improved Security/Graphics, Two Thumbsticks and Extreme Multimedia Functionality. Nonstop-Madness

I disagree, but only because I recieved a PSP this past christmas. I want it to at least last a few years until something new comes from sony/nintendo/microsoft.

No thanks PSP is still doing very well and it got a great library of games + its profitable.
