If sony plays their cards right then that have real chance of dethroning the 3ds with PSP2: 3DS has a 3.5 hour battery life- Sony should try to get at least a 5 hour battery life. 3DS will have $40-$50 games-Sony should try to maintain the price of games with the current PSP. 3DS will likely launch at $300- Sony demolished the dreamcast by announcing the PS2 for $300. If sony announces the PSP2 for $250 or lower then that could be a real game changer.
So what do you guys think? Does sony has a real chance of dethroning Nintendo? |
Lets see:
- The 3DS has one of the best launch lineups of any system ever, this is including consoles. The PSP2 does not yet have a launch lineup but when released it will be contending with the already established amazing 3DS library.
- The 3DS battery life isn't 3.5 hours, it's 3-5 and from what I've been reading, that's the lowest of the low estimate and people should expect something closer 6-8. As for the PSP2, it looks to still be a disc based system so expect a comparable battery life.
- The 3DS games price is the price of current PSP games price. Considering this is because of rising dev costs due to the power of the system, I don't see PSP2 games price being any lower.
- The PSPGo was $250 and, again, looking at what the PSP2 is said to be why do you expect it to be lower? Also, the US price will likely be closer to $250.
- The DS is popular amongst all age groups including parents. The PSP isn't nearly as popular with the parents, name means a lot.
I'm not happy with the price and battery life of the 3DS but the OP is really just wishful thinking.
