Many peoples thoughts on ipod mp3 video and the psp...
And he said that the psp is too bulky for a mp3 player... To be honest, I think the ds is less bulky than the psp, but it's just my oppinion.

PS: Since when was there a number of quote restriction?

People buy a PS3 to play hardcore PS3 games. It got a spike in the holidays because, thing is, it went from an outrageous price point to something in reach for your average family

This is exactly the point the article missed. The poor sales of the PS3 have nothing to do with the amount of development time put in or the catalogue of games for it. The high price of the console put it out of most people's price range so they opted for the cheaper 360 instead, which carries very similar "harcore" titles. If Sony stopped selling PSP's I doubt that'd have any impact whatsoever.

Which then renders the whole article pointless. I have nothing against IGN, but I have to wonder how someone could churn out 2 pages on such a weak argument.

Sony made two mistakes; first they set the PS3 price too high. Then they dropped the PS2 too early before the PS3 price had time to fall to something sane, effectively removing the Playstation name from your average household.

Speak in English, troll.

Lol, if I went to Gamestop I'd have a "look of disgust" on my face looking at all the DS titles. Most of the good ones are hidden underneath the shovelware or aren't released in huge numbers.

Who the hell pays $170-$200 for a PSP? Unless it's a PSP No-Go, most PSP's are cheaper than that. Sure, you can pay $200 for special game packages (like for the God of War, Assassin's Creed, Hannah Montana, etc packages), but most PSP's are

Damn right. I see the Imagine series and all the games meant for 6-year-olds out in front on the store shelves. I actually have to do some serious looking to find a game that looks decent, and even then half of those suck anyways.

Actually, in Sweden a normal PSP 3000, no bundle or anything, costs $256.... and A psp go is $363 :S

But that's just Sweden, HappyDSI has an american flag under his name, so it probably shouldn't be that expensive...

The PSP game library has always sucked. The only good thing about PSP was homebrew and now we have Pandora so PSP is no longer needed.

Do people really think the PSP has bad titles? I think the PSP had more 'fun' titles than the DS. What I mean by that is more (good) pick-up-nad-play games. With the DS, most better games require some time investment, and for those type games I prefer playing on a console.

Either way, I'd hate to see the PSP go. I see it as the "continuation" of Game Boy- traditional, fun, handheld gaming. Even with the DS, I was sad to see the Game Boy line die, and I think the PSP fills that niche well.

EDIT: I accidentaly spelled 'and' like 'nad' by mistake, but I'll keep it there because it reminds me of balls.

 

[shakirmoledina]

i do not own a PSP but i must say tht there are some games tht totally skim the DS (God of War and such)
so dont say abandon but say encourage/motivate
and yah i chose option 3 cuz the poll has nothin logical in it (PSP is rising comon)

I got my PSP very cheap, and games I enjoy on it are racing and others. Wipeout Pulse is fantastic. I think they should keep supporting the PSP for a while to come.

EDIT: They could make other models as long as they're cheaper and still hackable.

 

[alidsl]

I got wipeout pulse for £5
