Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Did Nintendo just Dreamcast the PSP2?

Anybody think the already huge third party support for 3DS may partly be because sony has no plans to release a PSP2 and has told developers so, or is it simply because they really are blown away by the 3DS?


I think its more likely that the huge line up is due to huge planning on Nintendo's part. To get a lauch line up so stacked they likely went knocking on doors two years ago; maybe even more.

....normally I would call this thread biased, but OOT is coming to 3DS in 3D with what looks like visual upgrades, so yep. Dreamcasted.



LoL. Same.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

assuming it does exist, I always believe it's never a good idea to write off something even before it's been released.


If it runs Android and is a PSP Phone it will win.

I fully expect a "Monster Hunter 3D" deathblow announcement at TGS.  PSP2/PSPhone is gonna be fucked so hard...


I guarantee that's not gonna happen at this TGS. This TGS will be all about MHP3, Capcom learned their lesson after RE4 PS2-GC debacle and don't want to hurt their own sales. They only announced MHP3 after MH3 was out of the Top 50 in Japan and a million seller. They'll announce a MHP3D for 3DS at TGS 2011 though for sure.

It's possible, but I just hope Sony doesn't try to chase after Nintendo's tail by just also adding some 3DS features. It's ok to add 3D, but they will need a "hook" of their own; something to really set them apart; something to make the PSP2 appealing beside the 3DS. Hopefully we get some news on both 3DS and the potential PSP2 at TGS.

Sony will release a 7'' 3D PSP2.

I was expecting the PSP2 on Tuesday and I didn't see it... The PSP didn't ven get a price drop.

The original DS was released in response to the PSP. The 3DS however, was being carefully experimented with and worked on for years. Its only enemy is a price point, which I'm assuming is $199.99 the most at launch.

We saw how much MS benefitted from a year head start in terms of support. The 3DS is rolling on momentum from the highest selling handheld ever, more power, and a strong launch with support of about ~40 titles.There is so much packed in there that the possibilites are near limitless and millions will be on board.

Sony's best shot was to have an answer on June 15th and they didn't. By the time a PSP2 shows up, it will be way too late. If Nintendo were to take Monster Hunter from them (I don't care if they have to moneyhat   $35 million) things would be in dire straits. Now sure, with eventual 3DS saturation, the PSP2 will get support, but without a monster Hunter, the PSP is hopeless. MH singlehandedly saved it in Japan for about 2 years this gen.

Whatever, PSP is successful and profitable, any successor will be as well, and Sony invented Dreamcasting,  They'll tell you that to Dreamcast something, it has to be out already, and for only a short time, when you Dreamcast it into obsolescence. 

$99 PSP will never. stop. selling.

If Sony does that, it won't be Sony's platform anymore. It will be Google's platform.

How the hell is Sony going to collect license fees on software that can run on any of dozens of Android devices? They'll cede the handheld console market to Nintendo, instead compete in the very crowded smartphone market, and deliver any 3rd parties that follow them onto the Android Marketplace for competing devices.
