| themanwithnoname said: I think Sony just sort of assumed that the market for handhelds was pretty similar to the market for consoles and didn't see a problem with releasing the same types of games that can be found on the console. There's something about creating a portable experience that Nintendo seems to get, and Sony, for whatever reason, doesn't. I'm not saying that every game on the PSP needs to be something you can turn it on, play five minutes, and turn it off; but I am saying that most of the popular PSP titles are not like that. Sony hasn't really had a major new IP on the PSP either, while Nintendo has stuff like Professor Layton, Picross, Brain Age, Nintendogs, Cooking Mama, and Scribblenauts. Are all of those huge successes? No, but they are the type of stuff Sony needs to look at when they release their next handheld. That being said, I agree with Trios_Zen that the PSP is too expensive. I can think of a few PSP titles I'd probably have a lot of fun playing, but the price does not justify me buying one, at least in my opinion. I might get a PSP eventually, when it's successor comes out and its price drops, but right now, the DS just has more games for me. |
