A PSP2 going up against 3DS would be like the Dreamcast without Sega games (And nothing of importance to replace them) going up against the PS2 AFTER the PS2 has already released AND had Nintendo games. That is what they would be up against. When it comes to handhelds, Sony is screwed, now they have to pray that Nintendo doesn't do a similar move in the home console market.

Now that Nintendo has gotten the third parties back, they are unstoppable when facing companies like MS and Sony who almost only rely on third party games to drive hardware.

   The only thing that could ever be able to combat this restored Nintendo would be a revitalized Sega (Or Capcom or some other strong true game company deciding to make a console) And, Sega is unfortunately in pretty bad shape.

Sometimes it seems like some people (including you) totally forget about Sony's own games (1st party). Those who want to tell me that Sony games are (objectively seen) not on par with Nintendo's or MS's have obviously never played them or... well... you know.

Especially Sony hasn't really relied on third party games this gen. The only third party games that drove PS3s were MGS4 (worldwide) and Yakuza 3 and 4 (only in japan). People mainly buying PS3s because of Sony's first (and second) party games, and not because of third party ones. And Nintendo isn't unstoppable, next gen could look totally different. When you look back you'll see what happend to Nintendo after the SNES und you'll see what happened to Sony after the PS2.

Last bolded part: I lol'd.

Last time I checked FF13 is a third party PS3 game that drove sales in Japan (or even worldwide).

8 of 10 top selling PS3 games in Japan are third pary games including top 4. 8 out of 10 top selling PS3 games worldwide are third party games including top 6. It certainly doesn't look like people buy PS3 mainly for first party or second party game.
