The 3DS is the successor to the most successful previous system (and most successful system of all time), with full support of third party publishers, will launch earlier and (probably) with a lower price ... In the history of gaming systems, I don't think there has ever been a system which has as much of an advantage as the 3DS has over the PSP2.

Now, the PSPs has a chance to dethrone the 3DS and I also have a chance of beating Usain Bolt in the 100m dash ... I'm pretty sure my chances are better than the PSP2's; after all, Usain Bolt could pull a hamstring 5 meters into the race.


Of course that was the situation with the PS3 over the PS2 at the time of launch.  No one thought the Wii would do anything at the time they launched (PS3 / Wii).

 

Anything can happen in the world of video game consoles.  PSP2 probably won't dethrone the 3DS, but it isn't impossible.


No, as Squilliam already pointed out, the PS3 did not release earlier than any of their competition and was significantly more expensive than their competition. To make the PS3 situation similar to the 3DS, imagine if Sony released the PS3 in 2005 at $400 with the XBox 360 releasing in 2006 at $500 or $600 (ignore the Wii for a moment) ...
