Could the PS3 take the place of PS4 Next Gen?

No, PSP isn't 2x the price of the DS... Anymore.

But when it mattered (the early years) PSP was priced a hell of a lot more than the DS. First 250, then 200, and finally 170 last year. But are you telling me having the price tag double that of it's competitor, even for a little bit (six or so months) didn't hurt the console?

And again, let's be honest, the PSP doesn't have much life left in it. It's inability to move software aside from some spectacular feats of awesomeness (Phantasy Star, Monster Hunter Freedom, God of War, and Crisis Core) isn't making things any better.

And the Wii being "easier to make money on" isn't a reason for Third-party support, but a reason for slipshod re-makes, ports, and mini-games

But let's not get into that argument, right?

The fact of the matter is that third-party games on the Wii may or may not come, but to be absolutely sure that they will come with the history it's had for two years, is hard to believe.

 

That's like saying the PS3 is doomed because it was double the price the Wii for a long time. It hurt the PS3 but it's not killing it...and the PSP isn't dead either. It's just going to make little difference to the leaderi n the long run.

Also, the Wii being easier to make money on IS a sole reason. Not every company will make shovelware. The ones that don't will take advantage of the Wii's advantage in that case and they can still make a great game. That's like saying why isn't the DS getting only mingames/shovelware/whatever when it sells that stuff so well.

As for your last paragraph, big Wii games take 2-3 years of development. There are most likely some big games in development for it right now but unannounced.

Why are you guys arguing? The ps2 is the clear winner here.
