I think Sony should make PSP screen touch sensitive

They have to kill the UMD all together... Handheld gaming has to be efficient in energy, noise and loading times, that's why it's called portable... And the UMD drive cuts in those areas... if you don't believe me, use a hacked OS, dump the UMDs in a Memory Card and play from there, you'll see the difference...

If you think about it all of nintendo's handheld competitors were more clumsy, big, and had less battery life.  Basically they had things that the general public didn't want.  Competitors need to learn from their mistakes.

 

 

Exactly, it's still impressive that the PSP passed the 40 million mark, when every competitor had struggled to sell a few millions (Game Gear was the only one to ever get near 13 million), but if they really want to enter in real handheld competition with Nintendo, they have to think about what the general public wants in a portable system...

 

how is it impressive??I mean yeah it has done great but compared to other playstaion products its a disaster(ps3 not withstanding so far)

it had the playsttion brand behind it.. before it came out people thought it was going to gett gaming out of the "gehto", wipe the flor with nintendo.

 

 

Given that criteria, then the SNES, N64, and Gamecube were all disasters as none of their LTD sales ever equaled those of the NES. If you count the GB and GBC as one console(as many people do), then the GBA is also a disaster because it came up about 40 million shy.

Back to the thread. Any major hardware revisions such as built-in storage, a change in media, or the addition of a touch screen or second analog stick should be saved for the PSP's successor.

To add in any of those features right now and have games that take advantage of them would effectively alienate 42 million current PSP owners.
