I don't think the PSP counts as a console in the eyes of many. Still it seems to me that it's nexgen (current gen, really).
Personally I view the PSP as the first real "Portable Console". I know the PSP is viewed as a great media machine/MP3 player and whatnot. Myself, I don't carry music around with me, never owned an Ipod or some other music player. But... I use the PSP to play games regularly. The PSP has a really great library of games that to me are like PS2 titles that are portable. I play MHF quite a bit and that to me is a quintessential console experience and yet it's on a handheld. Sometimes I wonder if what I like most about the PSP is its greatest weakness, i.e., it straddles the line between a handheld and a console, and also, it has those multi-media features that others find attractive. The PSP is many things and those that must pigeonhole it cannot and because of the cognitive dissonance that creates they dismiss the misunderstood "Portable Console".
