I was reading that Sony has pulled out of there PSP showcase booth.

In other words i think they are not showing anything at all, is what i understood. It was in a podcast over at Nintendolife.com i think.

 

Its not always friendly competition.  lol

Either Sony is showing off the PSP2 (which may not be on the show floor, thus no booth) or they are done with handhelds.

People here tend to think Sony is invincible. That is definatly not true. Every company can be defeated one way or another. However, we'll have to wait till E3. If they have no PSP at all, I would be shocked.

They are most certainly not invincible. LG and Samsung's korean invasion of the home entertainment sphere is absolutely killing Sony now. Sony are too expensive, and these competitors are doing exactly what Nintendo is doing, moving up market, and it is working.

@Albion- re: comment below.

I completely agree with your reasoning behind the support for the Wii, and id hesitate to guess that alot of older gamers have thought the same thing when buying it.

Not only are you communicating exactly why Sony and MS won't be as successful as the Wii short or long term, but you're also explaining why Nintendos long term brand will capitalise on this view of the video game industries changes generally.

People are getting fit by playing games? Nintendo did it.

People are exercising their brains? Nintendo did it.

It is supremely ironic that Sony and MS continue to push the exact opposite image about Nintendo (not advancing in their defined boundries, therefore not advancing at all) while completely missing the lost potential at the same time.

If the PSP2 is not colourful, mainstream friendly or stacked with casual/more mainstream type games next gen. it really wil be the end of Sony's handheld "successes", it simply will not survive. If its not because of Nintendo, its because of the IPhone.
