I agree lolstopable. PSP doesnt have a Good library. Most of the games you can get it on home consoles. Sony failed on making a handheld.

Thats how all handhelds are, mini consoles. And psp has a great library 

No. They were that.

Now they are something else. Except the PSP.

The DS isn't any different from the psp. Console games on a smaller scale, having a touch screen doesn't change that fact.

 

This DS is so very difference from the PSP. Portable games for a portable system. Which home console has a touch screen?



Around the Network

they just need:
relaunch, price cut and fair prices of games



I'm completely confused by the OP. Why would they relaunch the GO? I mean it's selling as they expected. So whats the big deal...

Maybe they lied when they said it was selling as expected. Surely they didn't expect it to sell lower than PS2 in Japan.

He's being teh sarcasm....



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

What big DS game even utilizes the touchpad? I own almost 15 DS games and they all use normal controls.  The casual hits like nintendogs and brain age use them, but the "Core" games or however you want to call them don't

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

The problem with the PSP platform is that it is terrible for anything but console type gaming. This is because it lacks a touch screen. A touch screen allows you to browse websites, enter text and navigate content much faster and easier than pressing buttons. This is especially critical in an online platform, because in able to buy content you have to be able to find an buy content quickly.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

All games I have use the touch screen, some more, some less. There's probably some that don't use it, but they're not commom. And not just casual games use them majorly: metroid, mario 64, GTA, Zelda, Scribblenauts (imagine typing without them!), and many other "core" games use them a lot! Not to mention the great "casual" titles like Brain age, Professor Layton and Rhythm Heaven!

But ok, what other portable have 2 screens? What other portable you use the microphone for controls? It revolutioned portable gaming in it's core - controls. Not graphics. It was not a Gamecube 1,5. The PSP is a multimedia PS 1,5.  Being a multimedia device does nothing for gaming.

Zelda and Mario & Luigi RPG both have some kind of touch screen control. I wouldn't call them casual games.

Some of the big new IPs from Japan like Professor Layton, Inazuma 11 and Rhythm Tengoku all require touch screen control. They are not all casual games either.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
