Heh. My sarcasm detection device is going off, but either way. It does seem like that's what im saying, however, PSP2 has the bonus of being a multi-media device which means I _could_ find a reason to buy it regardless of the specs or games.

But lets dig a little deeper? I have never, not ever, cared about the actual specs of a mobile device. Unwanted 3D adding to costs is a slightly different issue, but rather than using specs as the issue, I care more about library. So far it seems to be 3DS is going to have at least a few '3D' remakes of old title, which interests me none at all. Either I want new titles in specific genres (RPG/RTS) or ports of games from systems entirely defunct, updated graphically perhaps though again 3D is not the upgrade im looking for.

The game library more than anything else will determine the ultimate success of a console, mobile or not. The 3DS is not 'broken'. Rather just like the DS/DSi before it, at launch, there is very little appealing to it, for _me_.

You might note that I also rather have quite a few things to complain about my DS/DSi. It has alot of added cost features, touch being one of them, that I find useless, yet my DS library is about double my PSP library.

Well, in the "for you" area, while it's low on RTS (though it has some interesting TBS), 3DS is basically overflowing with RPG announcements (albeit JP side).  And really, some of the ports even seem to be getting significant visual enhancements too (Zelda, Starfox).

I dunno, it just seems to me in terms of library, 3DS already has so many bases covered that it's almost laughable to really criticize the system at this (still early) stage in terms of it's library.  It's well ahead of where either DS or PSP were at this stage in the game.

Also, 3DS seems like it'll be pretty multimedia focused, much moreso than any previous Nintendo handheld.  Movie/television content is already confirmed, there's camera/photo stuff, like DSi it'll no doubt have music playback, web browser, etc... what do you expect to see PSP2 doing that 3DS won't exactly?
