Will PSPs sales be enough to warrant a PSP2?

A lot of things, such as making it out more along the lines of a gaming peripheral, rather than this jack of all trades, master of none. While there are more unique games out right now, that wasn't the case for the most part early on as most games were very similar to the PS2 counterpart.

Again, push it as a gaming peripheral and not as a UMD player, or whatever they have in store with the PSP2.

Your post also makes the DS seem irrelevant in this matter, which it shouldn't. The DS is about to become the best selling gaming hardware in history, yet you make it seem as an afterthought, as if it has no direct affect on the PSP.

 I meant to bring this up in my previous post, but the PSP needs more pick-up-and-play games. A lot of its titles, especially at first, are much better suited for a home console. It would also help if Sony would advertise the games every once in a while add some more features that aid in gaming.

 

The PSP's purpose was to sell UMD and usurp Nintendo from the handhelds. Of the Xbox and PSP, which do you think did a better job of achieving what their company wanted?

 Sony never stated that the PSP's purpose was to dethrone Nintendo or kick them out of the market. It was the supporters of the systems and analysts who predicted that it would do so.

Considering that the PSP has sold well everywhere and is making money whereas the Xbox 360 is only popular in one market with poor sales overall and has done nothing but create billions of dollars of red ink, I'd go with the PSP.
