You can argue that Sony supports their console more, but when was the last time PSP got a good third (meant first) party exclusive? All Sony does is support consoles more and Nintendo supports the handhelds more. When was the last time you saw a $100 Sony system? PS2's sold for $140 well into this generation, where Nintendo slashed the price of their Gamecube and GBA (which was also a successful console) when they reached their end of life, but I don't feel Sony is doing the same for their PSP, and I don't see PS3 coming down in price that much.


The last time I can think of the PS3 getting a great third party game was Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Their first party really shined though with God of War: Ghost of Sparta. The Vita will allow them to make more casual games and core titles. That is, if the Vita launches properly.

In the last 2 years, how many proper 1st party games has Sony put on the PSP? God of War in fall 2010? In that time there have been 3 Final Fantasy games, The 3rd Birthday, Valkyria Chronicles 3, Monster Hunter 3, and a Tactics Ogre remake.

Sony does not support the PSP well at all, similar to Nintendo and Wii, but Nintendo still releases AAA games for the Wii where sony ditched the PSP a full year before its successor released. However they do support their home console well and Nintendo support their handhelds phenomenally. Nintendo cares more overall.

For reference, Nintendo released a mainstream Pokemon, a Kirby game after the DS was replaced, and a Fire Emblem (Japan only), Mario vs. DK, and a Pokemon Ranger the year before the DS was replaced.

You only named the top games, not all of the games. There were AAA games on that list from 2010-2011.  The backlog of the PSP is great as well.
