Nintendo will do better in every category but graphics.

Who cares about graphics in a handheld though?

[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"] Yes but in the last 12 months the highest rated PC exclusive scored 8.5. The PC has been around forever so of course it's going to have more high scoring games.Danm_999

As to your second point, I predict Starcraft 2 will be amending that streak in the next few days.

I would think a next-gen handheld from Nintendo with some cool new tech like the 3D would pretty much render the PSP obsoltete. Though that is to be expected.

Sony was smart not releasing info of the PSP version 2 yet. It's in development and we know they are working closely with Nvidia to make the PSP to have some serious graphical punch but it there was probably not enough games or the hardware wasn't just up to par to actually show anything. Smart after Nintendo came out so strong with the 3DS.

I'm sure within now and next E3 we will see some stuff of the next PSP and at the next E3 we'll see a full unveiling of it. I'm sure Sony has decided to attempt to fix the problems with the PSP as well as make a strong next-gen platform.

The PSP did sell well over 50,000,000. That is a rather large number of them.

Collectively the original DS has more screen area than the PSP. And the 3DS has more screen area than the DS.

The 3DS may be coming, but the PSP has a number of big titles coming out, or that have come out just recently.

MGS:PW, The 3rd Birthday, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Tactics Ogre, FFXIII Agito, P3P ... Even if Sony is forced to pull out of the west, it's unlikely that 3DS will put a halt to the momentum the PSP is buidling in Japan.

Unless publishers decide to port some of those games over to the 3DS.

[QUOTE="PandaBear86"][QUOTE="jasonharris48"] We can't comment on the 3DS DD service Nintendo hasn't said anything about it.

A lot of people called them arrogant when Sony said the PS3 would cost $600. But Sony has more vision than the fanboys. If the ps3 was cheap like the 360, then Move would not have worked on it. This is because the 360 is maxed out already, and devlopers are still discovering the hidden power of the PS3.

Sony also had the foresight to put in Blu Ray. Fanboys said there were no benefits. Sony proved them wrong in 2009 with 2 Megaton releases. Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 could not have happened without Blu Ray. There is no way those visuals would fit on a single DVD.
