So, I've been thinking and realized "OMG wow sony has a strong chance" reasons

1. Many devs are either increasing support or returning to the psp.

2. At some point they will be selling the ps3 for a profit, say hello to advertisments then.

3. HUGE linup. Uncharted 2, god of war 3, gran turismo 5, killzone 2, infamous, white knight chronicles, ratchet and clank future series, the list goes on.

4. Nintendo doesn't have any big releases that we know of. Microsoft has some

5. Ready at dawn studios might just make their own ip for the psp rather then using other titles. Everything they have made is/was genious

what do u think? 

(1) More devs are abandoning the PSP, including some of the most successful ones.  Like God of War for PSP?  Dev left the PSP.

(2) After this most recent cost reduction, they're about $100 away from selling the PS3 for a profit.  Cost reduction will get harder from this point forward, of course, and it is unlikely they will get to a profit on a per-system-sold basis in 2009.

(3) Your "huge" lineup consists of games that may or may not come out in 2009 (GoW 3, GT 5), games that haven't exactly received critical acclaim (White Knight Chronicals), and another Uncharted and another Ratchet & Clank.  Those games didn't change the PS3's fortunes, so why would their sequels?

(4) Nintendo always hides their big releases.

(5) Ready at Dawn doesn't work with the PSP anymore.  They jokingly stated that maybe they should reconsider it, but they were kidding.  They literally said that they should reconsider it because they were good at it.  But they're moving to more profitable platforms (like the DS).

Can I get a link confirming them moving on to platforms like the DS?

Or is that just speculation on your part?

From an interview with Edge in 2008.

"We have no plans to develop games on the DS at the moment,” he added. “As always, we never say never, but we’d have to have something that’s a good fit for the platform and our ideas right now aren’t really achievable on the DS."

As far as I know they've announced no new platforms, and the platforms they're working on is a secret at the moment.

Now for some speculation on my part.

"We’ve got the third version of the Ready at Dawn Engine running on both the PS3 and the 360" and "I’m also excited about online distribution on both these platforms because that’s how I like to get all my media now."

One of their projects is going to be a downloadable game for PSN, XBLA.
