Competitive games and a competitive pricepoint.  That's going to be a tall order given what we know of 3DS and what we've heard of PSP2...


how is it a tall order when we already know 3DS is going to be expensive and all the games on 3DS are the typical for a Playstation platform and would be easily ported and plus new games

and we haven't heard anything about the price and game about the PSP2


It's going to be difficult for PSP to compete on price based on the rumors we've heard (HD screen, 360 spec, etc)... we're also at a stage where the razor/blades model has proven itself pretty ineffectual long term, and for a PSP platform, recent precedent makes not making profit on hardware even a less attractive proposition.  I think we'll see a $50 difference (in favor of Nintendo) probably, which was exactly the price difference between DS and PSP at launch.

For games, I doubt we'll see many 3DS ports.  I do expect some 360/PS3 ports though, which is probably a better way for Sony to go, as challenging Nintendo on their own turf is practically suicide these days.  But again, I'm not sure that's exactly competitive... 3DS is amassing a lineup already that's like the best of DS and PSP on one machine, that doesn't leave a lot of room for PSP2.

Why is everyone making it sound like the PSP can't get some of those titles that the 3DS is getting?  Why can't the PSP 2 get Resident Evil, or even a better Resident Evil than what the 3DS is geting?  The 3DS is getting a port of Snake Eater, why can't the PSP 2 get an original Metal Gear title  like the PSP before it?  Same with Kingdom Hearts, the 3DS Kingdom Hearts looks like its running the game's PS2 engine, what if the PSP 2 gets a new Kingdom Hearts title with  360 looking graphics?  Like I'm not saying the PSP is but why is it everyone is like "PSP 2 will fail cause of the 3DS' lineup" which is mostly filled with third party titles that can be on the PSP and may actually be better on the PSP 2 (Minus the 3D)?
