I agree with Smashchu2.

Right now 3DS has the 3rd party support and the first party, on the DS-PSP the things was more third party efforts to PSP and Nintendo dominated on DS. As things are right now it's too risk for Sony to develop a PSP2, i mean, what can they do to be different enought and still make developer interested on work on their platform.

Simple answer, unhackable download only device with no piracy. And second analog.

Simple Eh? The only thing they have now that is close to those standards in the PSP Go, and guess what? Most people dont seem to like it too well...


Overpriced system, overpriced games...something that can change...

You can change the price very easily. But, would you risk millions of dollars on the same idea if you thought the problem was something else?

Also, not sure why people bring up Apple very much. I have yet to see any data that supports that Apple products and games on their devices inpacts the software and hardware sales of the DS and PSP. I would love to see those.

But that is the question, is the problem something else? If the system has great games (which you want to play) and accessible price, you won't care about the rest as long as it's not limiting you in your ability to play.

About Apple, well there are articles, mostly speculation, but that's because it's really hard to get any hard data about mobile games affecting handhelds. You have to watch the general trends, i.e. handheld software sales dropping and mobile game sales rising or the other way around.

On PSP GO: It's retarded to waste a lot of R&D money, advertising money, and development time on an idea that could fail. The PSP Go is a failure. So, would it be smart to make the PSP2 be download only when the PSP Go focused on that. You're hoping that Download only wasn't the problem and it was something else. if your right, OK. If your wrong, you wasted lot of time and money and hurt your brand. The potential lose outweights the potential gain.

On Apple:You said that it is mostly speculation. Yet, people are quoting it as fact. There is no data to prove that mobile games are hurting the handheld market. Until there is data to support it, I will consider anyone calling Apple a "threat," to just be spouting nonsense.
