@ DJMeister - just wow, dude. Every post you made reeked of bitterness.

Back on topic though.

I'm definitely glad that the PSP didn't manage to beat out the DS, but I think a lot of that was really due to the fact that the PSP was never designed to compete with the DS, but was instead competing with the GBA. It may have been intended to compete with the DS, but it definitely wasn't designed for that.

The 3 biggest problems I see with the PSP:

UMD format - requires memory cards in order to save games, creates long loading times, and the motor to spin the disc is one of the biggest drains on the PSP's battery

Only one nub - some people say they hate the nub, but the 5 seconds i used it, I fell in love with it, but they needed two so that people could have played the thing like a portable PS2

No clamshell - The PSP has this nice big shiny screen, and if you put this thing in your pocket, your keys are pretty much guaranteed to destroy that shininess. Along with that, the thing is long as heck. if they cut off the buttons and speakers and put everything on the bottom half of the clamshell, they could have increased the portability and screen protection at the same time.

Of course, at that rate, I might as well just say "Hey, and while they're at it, throw a touch screen on the bottom"

 No , way , it actually requiers a memory card to save games :o now thats a shame , no console ever needed that right ? Also , I wouldent put not even my phone with keys in one pocket , and probably no portable sistem neither .  Oh , and if the UMD wouldent be , we probably couldent play games like CC or GoW , because the space is needed , and to make games downloadable only wouldent be the solution . On the other hand I agree that they should do something with the fast battery drain , and add a second analog nub . And I also agree that the PSP is more a next Gameboy , rather than the DS , and as far as it goes , IMO SOny did a great job to cpture that market .
