PSP2 with 2 joysticks=Best for FPS shooters.

3DS- ooh 3d! Yawn :roll:

So let me guess this straight PSP2 with no confirmed games > 3DS with 3D without the glasses and an awesome game library.

Considering we know nothing at this point, claiming that the PSP2s launch library will be 20x bigger and better then the 3Ds's is just as valid as saying it won't.

3DS has MGS, RE and KH series that's enough for me.

The PSP has those titles as well.

-Multiple MGS games have been on the PSP for a long time.

-RE (1-3) are playable via PSx2PSP (with RE portable still a WIP)

-KH: Birth by Sleep is available on the PSP K series (not on the PSN atm)

The PSP2 should be good, but if there adding two analog sticks I hope there a better quality than the PSP one, horrible little cheap piece of crap, I think mines going to snap of soon

I'm easily gonna get PSP2 if it's a smartphone and has some big named retail games.

The thing is, Nintendo has every well known developer working for 3DS. Nintendo has captured both the casual and the core market in the handheld space.

Nobody can say that PSP2 "sucks" but considering what we know of 3DS, the chance of especially Sony outdoing Nintendo is out of the question.

The dual analogue controlls are outdated so anybody who wants them in their handheld system is conservative, not traditionall, we are past that point. The touch screen combination is waaaay better as it already has opened up for such great gameplay present on DS.

Indeed...the psp truly gets too much undeserved hate.

Ive had a total of 3 PSP's. I currently own the Star Wars Darth Vader edition one... I haven't found any games enjoyable other than Socom Fireteam Bravo 1/2, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, and Need for Speed Most Wanted. I dont use it for Music because i have multiple MP3 playing devices, and it sucks to watch movies on. I guess most the time i compare it to the DS which i find to be a much better handheld system.

The main reason i keep it around is because its hacked :P

Yes, because phones that can game are going to be able to always beat a dedicated gaming device at gaming. :roll: That said, the PSP's strength was multimedia functionality on top of its gaming functionality. I think its the main reason why it was so successful (50+ million units is anything but "failure"). Not to mention, iPhone's cost a couple hundred dollars more than the PSP2 is likely going to cost, and also cost monthly fees to maintain them. The PSP2 is a single purchase, that only requires the purchase of software (assuming they don't have phone functionality, or at least, a SKU with it).

I think Sony should just stick with PSP until the end here, and then bail on the handheld market. focus those resources on PS3 instead.

If anything the fact that they stood there ground and the psp sold rather well shows they should stick around in the handheld market.

Yes because their both handheld consoles produced by the same company.

I think because the general consensus is that the PSP was a fail in comparison to the DS and its success. we are judging it based on its predecessor whether fairly or not

I still fail to see your point. The PSP as a whole is a great handheld but the last rendition of the PSP is supposed to determine the fate of the PSP2?

The PSP is Sony PlayStation's first attempt at taking on Nintendo. All things considered, it did do well and out sold the DS many times. It is also thoroughly out selling the DS and other consoles in Japan ATM. Elsewhere, it is not doing so bad. Just before this black friday, the PSP sales went up 62,200%.

By your logic nintendo's gamecube was dead last in caonsole sales so the wii should have also been last as well. Yes the psp2 will have to go up against the 3ds but just because the psp lost does not mean the psp2 will. Sony should learn that price is a big factor as well as backward compatibility. If the psp2 sells for less it should do well as seen from the wii the most powerful does not always win.

All I'm bothered about is the bettery life. Just finished playing GOW: Ghosts Of Sparta demo and that alone nearly completely drained the battery. iPhone fans can show graphics and rail shooters all they want, but that PHONE only lasts for a couple of hours playing heavy games.
