| JSF said: I think you guys are wrong. I own a PSP now when I never thought I'd buy one before. The price cut and the upcoming God of War game made the difference for me, and, now that I'm actually using one, I find out that it is great. The UMD drive could be a lot faster for some games, but it sounds like that might be addressed with the redesign. There are PS2 ports - though the Grand Theft Autos were actually ported to the PS2 and not the other way around - (just as there are ports on the DS, btw: Mario64, Final Fantasy III, etc.), but, in the coming months, there is no longer a PS2 to port from. There are a lot of original games now, and they are only going to grow in number. Right now, I am playing Dungeon Siege, and I am hooked on it as much as I was hooked on Castlevania on the DS. I don't think the PSP will catch the DS because the DS has a wider demographic, as the stats show (I am a bit surprised by the number of females who own PSP's though...higher than I expected), but it is still a great little machine. No one said you could only buy one portable. |
It's great that you like your PSP but aside from the fact that you like it do you have any reason to say everyone else is wrong for saying the PSP won't come near 67 million in sales? As I said in my last post just check out the sales charts on this website. The PSP's sales are on a downward trend even after the recent price cut and all the good to great games it has. It is very very unlikely that the PSP's sales will suddenly almost triple over the next 3 years to reach 67 million. That's not to say gamers shouldn't like the PSP, if you do then have fun but don't expect that to deliver sales.
