Sony has a real chance of dethroning Nintendo 3DS

[Gojimaster]

I don't think PSP2 has much of a chance to be much more than a niche gaming system.  Its focus appears to be too similar to what Apple is doing with Iphone and Ipod touch.  The PSP completely relied on the Japanese gaming audience and I think that 3DS might steal away a lot of potential Japanese customers.  Monster Hunter 3DS could be the nail in the coffin.  Once again, the 3DS is getting a good headstart on the PSP2.  If PSP2 can't compete on the gaming front with 3DS then it may not have much of a chance.  Things aren't looking too good right now with the number of 3rd party developers that are flocking to 3DS.

I will await further details on the the PSP2, but it sounds like somewhat of  a redundant system.  There simpy isn't a need for console quality graphics on a handheld.  Successful handheld gaming systems have always used more conservative graphics.  Sony's core focus has to be on gaming, not on all the other aspects that the PSP2 can do.  Apple comes out with a new Ipod touch every year, and the those models will always have more features and apps than the PSP2.
