All of which combined are a larger area than the PSP2's screen will be. And this time with more power than the DS, explaining the decrease in battery life. Like I said, Sony could see this as a way to better Nintendo and use low energy parts or use a larger capacity battery or both. Of course, I'm not saying they definitely will. 2. Here's where the clamshell design may hurt them. Considering to pull off the effect of 3D there are 2 LCD screen on top of each other calibrated perfectly so that the eyes see seperate pixels at the same time. Will the 3DS's screen become misaligned after repeated closing of the 3DS? Or maybe even after being carried in pockets and backpacks. Again, not saying this is fact, just a major concern I have. 3. To my knowledge, there hasn't been a COD or Uncharted on a handheld. Let alone people actually interested in them being on one. And this is mainly because the controls don't carry over very well. The PSP2 is going to change that. Control is going to feel exactly like you're playing a console version, which would help appeal to the millions of people who buy games in those franchises and ones like them. 4. Ok?

1/2: Please if you're going to write stuff like that at least attempt to look it up first. It makes as much sense for 3DS screen to break from opening and closing as it would for my windows to break because I open and close them too much. Also you're confusing performance with power consumption, power consumption has likely stayed relatively similar to the DS whilst performance has increased substantially. Remember the 3DS also comes with a smaller battery than previous models.
3. People will play a compelling game inspite of the crap controls if crap controls are all they can expect to have. See Resident Evil 1/2 for this, utter crap control in every way and yet it sold pretty well. Besides, the PSP controls are only half bad
Tease.
