PSP2 as powerfull as PS3

[_Chaz_]

Wasn't that obvious?

Hey, I still don't believe it, but I'll take that as a joke and leave it at that. We cool?

We were once not cool?

Hehe. Just making sure. Sure seemed like a pointless argument to me though.

Most arguments are.

 

[PolloDiablo]

That is the only thing that SONY has to offer: more "pooweeeer"
The ps1 ps2 ps3 are all the same with "power" enchacements and up-do-date disc storage medium

Although that.... good games make a good console and, to be honest, the ps1 and ps2 are great consoles! that’s because the games! not the poweeeeerrrrr

SONY... could you come up with something new? all this talk about power and graphics is getting old and annoying. Really... change something, or at least don’t say anymore: "the next console/handheld will have better graphics” we already know that.

 

[mangaTom]

Saying that it is as powerful as a PS3 could be misleading.Even I can interpret it in many ways.Though let's just see how the competition turns out because I'll probably buying them both.(i'll probably wait for a year for "PSP2" after it's released since I know it's priced like hell.)

On a last note:
After all it's a Sony,they they specialize in

Make.Believe

 

[CarbonX13]

How long will that thing even last with that power? 30 seconds?

The thing'll probably be priced around $600 upon release, I'll most likely end up buying the Nintendo 3DS.

I would beg to differ. If it had no influence whatsoever Sony would have quietly kept it to themselves.

Or maybe, perhaps, they're just feeding the hype. They aren't yet advertising they're product yet to lure people to buy it, they're just building it up to what we can suspect is the official announcement. But Sony's claim in itself will not convince anyone to buy a PSP2.

It most certainly will.
There are a lot of graphics whores out there.

Sony's not dumb, they know what to say.

I'd like to see one person say that they weren't even considering buying the PSP2 before, but they are now completely based on Sony's claim. The "average" consumer is not as dumb as you think. You confuse average with the most dumb people out there. This is really straying away from my first question, which was "Is this really a big deal?" I still fail to see why it is.

You're wrong. I'm still in school, and I know that a great deal of my friends base game and system value on graphics. Ask Xbox or PS3? Response is opinion on superior graphics. State favourite game is for system before PS3/360, get strange look. You overestimate the world, my friend.

And given the PSP2 isn't out or even announced, and we have no info on games, battery or controls, stop hatin.

 

[TheTwoR's]

I still think 3DS wins.

 

[Bladexdsl]

power isn't everything

You're wrong. I'm still in school, and I know that a great deal of my friends base game and system value on graphics. Ask Xbox or PS3? Response is opinion on superior graphics.
well that proves it both you and your friends are gfx whores and not gamers

So all graphics whores are the equivalent of the dumb consumers who eat plastic food?

they don't know how they have to wait for nintendo to come up with something NEW than steal borrow the idea and add more pooweeeer!

ahh, how come i only hear rumors? and no actual vid/pic. i demand proof.

i guess all sony can do is bluff?

 

[Mantis41]

The thing about handhelds is they only have to produce images at 1/4 or less the resolution of there console counterpart. Think about your PC, if you have a shitty GPU but turn the resolution down to 640x480 or 400x320 the frame rate will be epic despite the lack of power.

So no, the handheld will never need to be as powerful as the console however, on the shitty little screen you could say the game quality is comparable.

Edit: Also remember to go from one resolution to another you need to square the number of pixels that need to be displayed. This roughly means each time you double the resolution you will need 4x the amount of power.

 

[azure0wind]

battery life. graphic. i think it will not be as powerful as PS3. how about its graphic? same resolution as PSP?

Question to Sony:

WHERE IS THE INNOVATION?

 

[VentusVanitas]

I think this is Sony's attempt to look better than the 3DS. Not. Gonna. Happen.

3DS is innovative.

 

[prowler]

I'll probably get a PSP2 over a 3DS.

IMO Sony wins in handheld gaming.

Edit:
I've got both a NDS and PSP and I have spent more time on my PSP than my NDS (I've owned a DS since it was released then got a DS lite). There is some good games for DS but the decent games that are on the DS don't appeal to me while on the PSP, I can have decent looking action type games (T3B, Monster Hunter) and I know everything is changing with the 3DS but it's just 3D with updated graphics that are already looking like that on the PSP.

Don't like my opinion? Deal. With. It.

 

[jackdanielchan]

Well... If this follows in suit of past trends... PS4 is going to have brain raping graphics...

Question to Sony:

WHERE IS THE INNOVATION?

Who the fuck cares.

Video game systems from the NES to probably last gen have all been about making a more powerful system, essentially an upgrade. We had the NES, and then they made the "Super" NES, a console that has new games and is more powerful. Then there was the Nintendo 64 (again, more powerful, new games). For Sony, there was the Playstation, which was succeeded by the Playstation 2 (new games, more power), which was then succeeded by the Playstation 3 (more power, new games). For handhelds, the Gameboy was succeeded by the Gameboy Advance (more power, new games). Now that things are about "touch screens" and "motion controls", people cry for "more innovation". Does it even matter? I don't care how my games are played, I just care how good they are. I don't really need some fancy new control scheme to play them or a touchscreen or motion controls or 3D, I just want a device that plays them and plays them well. If you really care so much about how "different" the system is compared to how good it actually is then you're just worse than a graphics whore. You're an innovation whore, congratulations.

Oh, and for the record, when Sony tries to apply "innovative" concepts to their systems, we get everyone calling them copycats. Touchscreen on the PSP2? OH THEY COPIED NINTENDO/APPLE! Motion controls on the PS3? OH THEY COPIED NINTENDO. Even fucking 3D on the PS3, even when it came BEFORE the 3DS was announced? OH THEY COPIED FROM NINTENDO.

tl;dr: Innovation whores are just as bad as graphics whores. Maybe even worse.

 

[Mantis41]

As 'Guild MC' has stated, there lies the problem. Screw graphics and innovation comparisons. It comes down to which one has the games that you want to play?

Crystal ball time?

Oh! And stating that any hand held has the power of a console is fricking ridiculous.

 

[XLarge]

Oh whatever. Nintendo will win the handheld wars anyways, they always have. The graphics the 3DS produces are good enough for me. I will wait until the lite version b4 buying one.

You confuse average with the most dumb people out there. This is really straying away from my first question, which was "Is this really a big deal?" I still fail to see why it is.

Actually the average consumer is my mom buying something for my little brother for christmas of his birthday and when someone sais the word "PSP2 has better gfx then 3DS" she will buy that one. Why? Because people are dumb and have a tendacy to go for Bigger = Better... its all very Americanized (dont you start bitching at me if youre american, its a powerword)

A friend of mine bought the PSP on launch day and when I showed my DS he lol'ed at me saying "GFX PWN ON PSP"
He is an average consumer.

Ill give you another example, back in the day they used to sell graphiccards differently. Theyd put up a sign "9200XT with 1GB RAM!!!!! Only 50 USD!!!" Everyone bough it. You know why? Bigger is better. The 9200XT was a SHITTY card and for a tiny bit more you could buy a better card but with less RAM, did anyone do that? Hardly because Bigger = Better

That is true in some instances but look at the Wii. I don't think many people were under the delusion that it had great graphics on release. It just made more sense for families and as a result out sold the other two. Many years on and still with young kids and um... old people, our Wii still gets more on time than the 360.

History proved time and again that simply putting the ' most ' powerful handled out there isn't enough to make it a success.
Look at the history of the Game Boy, and how it won against powerful adversaries that had more memory, color backlit displays and higher resolution.
Heck even the underpowered DS is miles ahead of the PSP in terms of variety of software and exclusive games.
And you know why ? Because when they launch an handled that's nearly as powerful as their home console counterparts, developers get lazy and simply port over their games, forgetting that portable gaming is a totally different beast.
Look at the Nintendo handleds, always underpowered, and yet because of the limitations , developers are forced to use their imagination and creativity and manage to pull out the best games ever conceived !
Also a less powerful system it's easier to develop for.
How many indie devs take on the risks and financial commitment to develop for the PS3 these days anyway ? You can't offer that much power and scare devs away......
So not to be biased, but Sony is still going the wrong route, by releasing the " most powerful system " yet again.
When they will learn ?
