People jump the gun too quickly. If it's true the PSP2 will have dual analog sticks as is rumored, that alone will put the PSP2>3DS as far as the handheld itself is concerned.
I notice this too, everytime there is a PSP2 thread, all the haters and bahers come running acting as if its alrready a failure. The PSP was a success, it sold tonz, has great games, its constantly at #1 or #2 im JP in sales, whats the problem?

The problem is that it doesn't get as much 3rd party support as it does in Japan. While I do love my PSP and it has some pretty great games, most of my great games come from 3 publishers and they are the only publishers who have been releasing great games from the past couple of months and most likely in the future. PSP2 will hopefully have more 3rd party support in US.
I don't think they do. Not being DA is athe only thing that's wrong about the PSP apart from it having rather dated hardware by now. I generally like to seperate my gaming and phning needs although I'm keeping an eye on the PSphone since having your android phone have SCEA support is a good thing.
Im excited for it, if they truly wised up and put 2 analog sticks, they fixed my biggest gripe. now they just need more games more frequently and it will be a solid handheld in my opinion.
I think it is because they went back to the drawing board one too many times. I still have the first PSP, or maybe its a second generation one, but I prefer that one to the UMD-less version.
Because the iPhone and iTouch have made it almost irrelevant

I lol'd. if you put me to choose between an iphone/ipod touch and a psp I will take the psp without a doubt... now just imagine with the psp2? iphone is horrible for gaming...terrible graphics, terrible controllers...everything is terrible

Yes it sold well but when the PSP was announced everyone, the cows and even the gaming media said the PSP was going to demolish the DS in sales, it turned out the DS wiped the floor on the PSP. And so far the media has said nothing but positive things about the 3DS and with the ton of support already the 3DS is looking good and that makes the PSP2 look like it doesn't have a chance.
What is this "PSP2" we are talking about.. Only thing I've heard of is the psp phone which i'm believing is just gonna be a mini psp1 (games etc) with phone features.

I just don't see a point for elaborate mobile games anymore
Why would I want to play a watered down version of a console game? I'd rather play something simple and addicting on the go
because its from sony, they make stuff that will help them in some way first and formost. its either gonna have a new disc format or something to stop pirates and they will cheap down gaming features. just like they did with the ps3
If it is a phone I think it will bomb, if phone is optional than fine. I might pick one up if it has good games and is backwards compatible with PSP games. I am no doubt picking up a 3DS though.

to be fair, the PSP2 hasnt been anounced so devs can say anything yet
Graphically the PSP still kicks butt to almost any handheld gaming system I've seen. Can you imagine Sony kitching it up yet another notch? It's mind boggling to say the least. 5 year old handheld is still capable of some very impressive graphics. If people aren't satisfied with that in a handheld, I can't possibly imagine how good the graphics would have to be. Some people are near impossible to satisfy. But it's not just in the graphics, PSP has some really good games, too. It might just be because the DS seems to have a much greater library overall, I don't know. But it would be wrong to dismiss the PSP's library as lacking. You just need to research and find its hidden gems, because they're there. PSP has lots of great games. People just need to give more of a chance to prove itself.
Just so you know, in march of this year, when 3DS existance was revealed, people came to bash it too, but at E3 and NC, it wow'd gamers. PSP2 has to do the latter to stop the bashing too.
Well I hate my PSP, and I know two thumb sticks aren't going to make a difference for me. I couldn't give a rat's ass about playing a FPS on a handheld if that's the purpose. With the 3DS, I'm already blown away by it's library, and that's not even taking into account the 3D aspect.

You see thats just you. Some people like bigger games on the go. Im sorry but I dont see angry birds or plants vs zombies asbig as YS: seven or GOW. I dont want my handheld be a all puzzel or tower defense type game 95% of the time.
So let me guess this straight PSP2 with no confirmed games > 3DS with 3D without the glasses and an awesome game library. The pot is calling the kettle black again, I see. What kind of review scores are the 3DS games getting? I haven't seen any, but since you claim that they're awesome, I want to see how you came to that conclusion.
