| sharky said: PSP is pretty succesful. It's just everybody wants to compare it to DS. But leave DS out, it's pretty succesful.
I also think it will have better legs than DS. There's a lot you can in multi-media terms with such a gorgeous screen as your centerpiece. PSP will only grow as it trends toward $99.
Then again I hear the D-pad is broken, which would make my prime reason for wanting one, 2-D fighters, null..
But I mean just as a cool portable screen, leave games out altogether, it has a lot of potential. |
I play "Darkstalkers Chronicles" and "Street Fighter Alpha Max" all the time. I have no problem pulling off moves with the D-pad. Don't get me wrong - I have read gripes in some reviews about people not being able to do special moves - but I personally don't see the problem at all.
Regarding overall game sales, doesn't anyone ever wonder why "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories" on the PSP sells 3.85 million copies in North America and Europe, continues to sell very well on Amazon and even outsells the version ported to the PS2 - while the next closest PSP game sells 1.4 million and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" on the PSP only sells 1.36 million? "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories", if you can get the right version of it, is used to hack certain versions of PSP firmware. If you ask me, the runaway sales of "Liberty City Stories" hints at what's going on.
