What does PSP2 need to compete against 3DS?

I'm not being arrogant, I'm being accurate.  Unlike you, who doesn't think SCE's losses can be blamed on PS3?  Then what exactly did they lose those billions on again?

Locoroco was pretty widely compared to Nintendo games.  The similarity isn't exactly my fabrication, honestly I've never even played the LR games. LR1 came out in mid 2006 though, just a year and half after PSP launch... it was already "too late" by then?

And uh... Sony didn't make GTA or Burnout?  Is what Sony does best to rely on other people's games?  Is that what you're saying? :P

you are nowhere near accurate

you never understand anything

SCE's recent losses were because of PS3 but not mainly because of Plstation division but because SONY electronics wanted to seal blu-royalties and you saying razor blades model just depeding upon PS3 is wrong SONY isn't going to push blu-ray like format on PSP2 so ityou saying razor blade model won't work is wrong

locorocco being late was because piracy had started by then not that loccoroco was late,piracy was rampant so game sales started dropping dead and devs started leaving

SONY didn't mek GTA or burnout but they brought it to their platform.just because sony has alot of 3rd party on their platform is them relying on other people's games??????????-sony provides a platform which devs make games for sell good

Yeah, I guess I never understand anything.  But I understand what a pyrrhic victory is.  Do you? ;)

I also understand how royalty structures work, as well as sunk R&D. The idea that SEL is "responsible" for SCE's losses is laughable, especially given SCE traditionally offloaded most of their heavy R&D costs onto SEL in the past (EE, CELL, etc).  If anything SEL usually holds SCE up (though that all changed when Kutaragi was ousted).  SCE's losses are directly due to delivering an overengineered, overbudget,  overpriced, console, and delivering it a full year after their closest competitor. Their losses are due to miscalculation, to short sightedness, to hubris... not to due to someone else.

PSP didn't even take off in Japan until after Locoroco released (and it never really took off anywhere else).  You even said earlier PSP had good software sales it's first two years, which is when LR1 released... so which is it?  You need to get your timelines in order, because you're saying directly opposing things and contradicting yourself here.

And let's be clear, I'm not the one who trotted out other companies games when talking about what "Sony does best".  You did.  Personally, I think Sony can rest on their own games pretty well.
