superchunk i would just like to say that you have not pointed out how the PSV is being overlapped by tablets tec wise.
The ipad 3 just got announced and the PSV is stil the most powerfull mobile device around. To me that is amazing as apple are usually the leaders when it comes to releasing new tec. Im going to bet apple will release a quad core ipad in the next year. Only then will they be up to scratch with the tec in PSV. Thats a year of being on the bleeding edge of mobile technology! Im pretty sure most people wernt expecting this. And just to reiterate what i said in my previous post most tablets are using nvidias tegra 3 tec, which is relatively new from nvidia. And is no where close to the power of the PSV. So really only in the next wave of tablets which will be next year round about this time will we see manufacturers surpass the PSV in terms of tec.
That is a year and half of relevance with an additional year of being in the same ballpark as others. Only then in the following year will the PSV really start to show its age. Im basing this on the current trends, when many have predicted things will begin to slow down in the coming years.
Not to mention the exagerated growth some tec companies are touting...nvidia failed dismally to meet its required performance with tegra 3.
I know you said this wasnt the focus of the OP but i just felt i should comment on this again.
