Not really, but I see the 3DS and Wii as acompletly different systems. 3DS is 3D, Wii is Wii-mote. Also Nintendo handheld games are typically very different from console games.

Sony is marketing the PSV as a handheld with close to PS3 graphics, and from what I'm seeing the type of games are the same.

wrong

first off we haven't seen any marketing for the device. secondly the only thign we have are the trailers and such made for it and PR for the sw/hw. They always emphasize on various things and graphics are not the most talked about feature. Things like AR/social connectivity/new unique gameplay mehcanics (via rear touch pad) are talked about the most.

as for the games, I suggest you look up the line up. it has something for everyone with a vast range of games/types of games. It's not all Uncharted or Resistance

Well at E3, Sony was describing the PSV as a handheld with close to PS3 graphics.

As for games, the big ones I see are Uncharted, LBP, Mod Nation Racers, Disgaea, Killzone, Mortal Kombat, Resistance, and a few multiconsole titles like Fifa, F1, Strret fighter x Tekken, etc. Just waiting on the JRPG's.

Just a thought, wanted to know what people think.

Did PSP affect PS2 sales in Japan?

they did mention it and they are right. especially since it's a smaller screen the graphics displayed are comparable to the current HD consoles. BUT it's not the point that they address mainly and it has been evident in the past months, time after time they take the opportunity to highlight other features of the device ESPECIALLY the social networking aspect. Even on their game demoes they try and show how to use the new controls in the game rather than the graphical level.

and like I said, there's something for everyone and that's a rather limited list of games you have heard of. there are quite a few new IP's announced for the device already with gameplay and such to boot. Sony has done a great job in showcasing all sides of their game line up..when they show/talk of Golden Abyss they also take the chance to talk of Ruin/Gravity/sound shapes etc/. when they talk of Burning skies they also talk of Escape Plan. the line up's huge and it keeps getting more diverse with announcements like Persona, Lil Kings story sequel etc every week. So it's just a matter of knowing the line up better

so yeah..different markets. not gonna be a problem
