PSP2 is real, 'pretty powerful' and in developer's hands.

As I precicted a few months ago about how a compeititor would fare against the 3DS:

It will be like if the Dreamcast launched AFTER the PS2, this will get ripped to pieces. (unless Sony pulls something REALLY REALLY impressive)

In an extreme circumstance, if Sony handles this perfectly, it could be the relationship between the Xbox 360 (launches early, rave reviews, enormous amounts of third party support, and even more first party support than the 360) and the Wii (laughed at, ridiculed, weak hardware, trounces everything for three and a half years).

But I really don't see Sony doing what Nintendo did with the Wii. So, while your analogy may be a little extreme (It's not going to send Sony out of the business), I can see where you're coming from.

But I hope it's closer to the first, because the PSP wasn't a bad console, it just used a terrible disc format, didn't have enough buttons or analog sticks for what it was trying to do, aimed at completely the wrong audience, and was thoroughly outclassed by the DS.

How thoroughly? I mean, if anythng the PSP games are gettin better as time goes on.  Maybe it was a slow burner, but there have been gems coimg out lately.  We all know it was beat and the DS overall did better, but I think the PSP was quite respectable considering the market it was suiciding into lol, what with Ninty having a monopoly on handhelds.

Monopolies are not just being dominant. Nintendo didn't unfairly put the other handhelds out of business through unethical illegal practices.
