what would you think about a mid gen hardware upgrade on a home console?

Why does Nintendo get a free pass with mid-gen hardware upgrades on handhelds that makes early gen units essentially obsolete for most future game releases, when if this was done with any home console the company would be eviscerated by the public and media? And if Sony tried it with PSP they would have been pilloried too.

surely the point of a console generation is that units bought on day one of the generation will be able to play last game released.

Well, Sony did increased the PSP RAM from 32 to 64MB. The compatibility with games was the same tough, the extra RAM was just for multitasking so the compatibility was 100%.

CPS2 can't be emulated on a psp1000 because of the lower RAM.... DAMN YOU SONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Think you're 100% right tho, all retail games from the psp work on all models.
