That is what I would want from the new PSP. I was thinking about this just last night and IMO going completely touch screen in games is a bad idea. You just cannot get the same feel for the game with toughing a fake button as opposed tio a real one. So I think that Dpads, and face buttons are a must. To me motion is a much more important part of gaming so I think it is a must for the new PSP. The last thing on the games side is they must drop the UMD. All games need to be via the internet or on memory stick. The UMD drive was the worst move Sony made on the PSP. It takes up to much space, battery life, and time. By then they will be able to run games off of Memory stick with 8+GB of space for a very cheap price, and downloading them would be the best way to go.

As for the PSP as an overall device, it must go directly after the IPOD. They have got to show that it is a Game system that can give you all of the features of the POD for a lower cost. Sony has to get a download service up that can get a name with as much power as Itunes. If this does not happen It will be game over for the next PSP. One Last thing: I forgot to post this because it should be obvious, but aparently Sony has not been that smart. They have to make more first party support for the PSP. That also has to be more than just PS3 port downs. If the PSP2 can get its own identity in games, it will be way better off than the PSP, which I have no idea what it is supposed to be in games. If we have another generation of half hearted rip off games on the next PSP Sony's handheld name will be tarnished.
