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

When I watched E3, I thought graphics, games, and innovations in gameplay (like the touchpad on the back) were what they were pushing. Social connectivity I didn't really pay attention to if it was driven hard. Demo's I felt they tried to show a mix of gameplay and graphics, if you watch the Uncharted demo, graphics are the first thing they talk about, then they go in depth into gameplay (like multiple ways to jump and swing).

I didn't mention all the games I heard about, just the more major ones. Ruin and Dungeons Crown are also bigger, but they also come out on PS3, which is one reason why I ask if PSV will affect PS3 sales in Japan. Obviously there are more, but I didnt try and name every game.

Anyway, good to hear your opinion, I'm just curious.
