then what the heck was the whole nintendo kingdom of portable consoles earlier? it didn't give you console experience in portable machine? psp gave us only loco roco, potapon nad bunch of games that i could find on ps2. so for me psp is just a smaller ps2.


Exactly. The PSP is very comparable to a much smaller PS2. One that you can carry around with you. It's portable. It's a great portable multi-media machine. Really, it is. You can't deny it.


yes, but it didn't give something new to the market - which is still my point(well except being a multimedia thing). now consoles are only beter technically and nothing more plus they're starting to look like pc(you know ps3 can have linux and so on).


Yeah it did, it was marketed towards and older demographic, and played like a console. Like thats what i thought the Nintendo DS was going to be, when it first came out, a portable N64, cuz of Mario. So i got the DS and Mario when it first came out. Man, was i sadly mistaken, hahaha. The PSP give just another option in an optionless market.

just like every console(especially ps2, x360 and ps3) you know that, right? ds is not only a great n64 portable version it can much more - look at ASH gameplay videos. ds make a big step in the gaming industry - psp didn't.


Ok, how the hell are you going to compare the PSP with being the same as an X360 or PS3? when was the last time you saw some guy riding the bus playing his PS3?

PSP does bring something new to the market, because if there was no PSP, then the only option you would have now for a portable gaming device is a DS.

Edit: DS is a gimped version of the N64. Play Mario on there and compare it to the 64 version, its not AS great looking. If that is the cas, why didnt they come out with an Zelda: OoT port? That was the main complaint about the system when it first came out, they said Nintendo should have made it comparable to the N64.


prlatino86, i was talking about that you can describe by this:

Yeah it did, it was marketed towards and older demographic, and played like a console.

every sonys console psx, ps2 and ps3(plus every microsoft console). every sonys console is hitting to 16-30 year old guys.psp gives you the same type of games(actually it gives you exactly the same games)as ps2. there are many consoles that didn't make into the market as good as psp or ds(gizmondo, gp32 and so on) but only those two were able to gain enough audience to be popular consoles.
