Yes it has those, but more importantly it has Nintendogs, Brain Training... etc - - - - that's the difference, and that's what the PSP was missing and why it wasn't nearly as successful as the DS

This time around 3DS has huge games from both types making a worse sernario for PSP2

nope that's exactly what I pointed at. Ninty is focusing a great deal this time on core games, which is 'imo' a opportunity for Sony. If they can up their game on the casual front, they will be on a more or less even field when it comes to gaming.

and btw I wouldn't say psp was 'missing' games like that more like Sony didn't promote them as much as they should have, which I HOPE they do this time around. Core games were already ace on the psp, I have little doubt it will be the same on PSP2

You're not following what I'm saying. Last time DS had a library of huge *non-console-like* games and they were hugely successful on it, it also had its share of console-like games too - -- while PSP focused mainly on a console experience on the go, having many ports of big console games come to IT and not the DS (at least not in the same form)

Now 3DS has taken that from the PSP WHILE ALSO still having its HUGE non-console franchises like Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Nintendogs Cats, Professor Layton, Brain Training...etc **of which PSP has NONE as successful - - - PSP may have had some similar games but those weren't NEARLY as successful

@bolded: And what I'm trying to say is that Nintendo is the one with the core games "in the ace" this time, as Carl2291 so nicely demonstrated :)

no it's you who is missing what I'm saying. WHile 3S is trying to target core, sony can also target casual, it can lead to a situation like 360/ps3 where both consoles provide a somewhat similar image to non-gaming community.

and I'm sorry but even without knowing the psp2 line up, I can gurantee the PSp2 core line up will be worse case scenario will have games that will at least match the quality of the 3ds line up. Heck games like DOA and such, you can same level games on the PSP already even, graphics AND gameplay wise. and add another analog nub and it will be a way better experience for games like FPS genre. It's a bit too early to do these comparisons tho cuz we have NO idea what the line up for PSP2 are like. I HOPE to see it within the year tho. Tho I would say Tekken: Tag and Mortal Kombat games are a given at this point.
