eb games takes a crap on psp

[shams]

I know two people that have sold their PSP's recently (not to get a DS though) - they just were not being used. They would rather play "console" games on a TV - not a handheld. Also - look at the Jan US sales for 2006 & 2007. The DS has actually PICKED UP momentum over the PSP (PSP outsold the DS in Jan 2006!). Its good to see some good games coming out for the PSP - but its too late. I have seen too many stories recently about companies switching development from the PSP to DS (EA, Sega, etc...). By the end of this year, the argument will be completely dead - as the DS will have an even greater dominating year over the PSP. I think you'll see companies slowly dropping PSP support completely (will still be some), which will eventually lead to retailers pulling back on PSP support (when the PSP first came out here - in an average EB store, it had about 3:1 shelf-space over the DS. Now the DS has about 2:1 on the PSP, and things like UMD movies are hidden away on one back shelf). ... The only hope for the PSP is a revised model & significant price cut. Im not sure how many people will be happy to trade-in or sell their PSP's for a revised one though.
