I agree ... look at MHF 2 and GTA : LCS ... those are the perfect proof :)

That is the perfect proof, thanks for bringing up those excellent games. Both of those games appeal immensely to the core gamer and don't expand the market. The PSP is a machine for the core gamer and that's a problem. It is not bringing in a new audience.

You couldn't had said it any better. Sony focuses on the core, whereas Nintendo is really focusing on the casual audience and trying to expand. But sooner or later that audience Nintendo picks up will become hardcore some day and will turn to the PSP.

True and not true. Hardcores are also buying DS for the RPGs and stuff too, and they trust Nintendo, so not really but some could or some'll buy both. And there's still 6 billion+ people who don't own a VG system. There are so many casuals. This is also a reason Nintendo want casuals, there's an infinite number of them and imagine how much money they'll get if they get at least a portion of the casuals.

And just imagine when those causal become hardcore and get tired of Nintendo game gimmicks. Then they will switch to the PSP.
