PSP 2 coming pre-Christmas will be an iPhone beater

This will never happen. Sony does not have the brand recognition or appeal that Apple currently has in mobile technology.

 

Over fifty million PSP sales and several hundred million Walkman sales over three decades prove you are talking bollocks.  Sony have plenty of brand recognition for both IPs, and 99% of gamers do not shun handheld gaming platforms to buy mobile phones to play three thousand different games where you tilt the device to stop a ball falling down a hole.

It makes me laugh: one minute the PSP is inadequate because it doesn't have a second analogue stick, the next minute it's obsolete thanks to a device with no buttons at all.  If PSP2 has full backwards compatibility with the first PSP, game downloads, dual analogue sticks and a touchscreen, it will sell very big numbers.  Phone capability or not.

I really do not know how to respond to this post. Are you really trying to dispute the fact that Apple mobile devices are more appealing/popular than Sony mobile devices?

I have NEVER owned a PSP and I have never purchased a Walkman. Just take a walk around in big U.S cities, Apple products are everywhere and people use them quite frequently. I very very rarely see PSPs out in the wild and I have not seen a Walkman branded mobile device in years (other than on a store shelf). I am talking at least a decade.

I really do not know how things work outside the U.S., but I really cannot understand how you can compare the brand of the IPod/Iphone with that of the PSP and um...the Walkman? That's laughable to say the least. LOL Just wow. No wonder you used an alternate account to communicate this.
