Forums - Sony - “There is absolutely a 10-year life cycle for PSP”, says Koller!

Btw, 251 million shipped games by the end of March this year, so probably 260 million sold by now

Yeah, that's very close to half a billion ^_^



I don't see how PSP can last longer than 2 more years. It will be dead less than a year after the 3DS launches.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

sigh

ps2 was intro'd in 2000 and ps3 in 2006...6-7 years into the ps2 life cycle which was aimed to be 10 years....this doesn't mean they will WAIT until the end of 10 years to release the next psp...it means the current psp has enough in it to sell for 10 years time in whole and frankly I can see that happening tbh...

So yeah, another thread filled with omgz it'z da doomzed sayers who doesn't even bother to try and understand a situation

So I'm the only one who concluded that the 10yr shtick applied to handhelds as well, before this article?


Yep, everyone else concluded that it didn't apply to either.

 

The 10 year plan is a joke.


yeah ps2 says hi btw

Regardless of theit intentions, PSP will be long dead well before it hits 10 years old unlike PS2. If they do release PSP2 they'll only hasten it's death.

and now why is that? :S I can see with some great games and a good price cut it keeps selling..maybe not in 10s of thousands but it will...especially in Jp and others

Again this whole thread is filled with people who doesn't take a step back and wonder hey, they stuck thru with ps2 for 10 year cycle but did introduce the ps3 before it ended...maybe just MAYBE that's what they will do now too? OMGZ THE INTERNETZ XPLODEZ WITH COMMON SENZ

@M.U.G.E.N

Do I need to explain why your comparison of PSP with PS2 is faulty?

Yeah, with this kind of logic NES was alive in 2000, as it was still selling.

Do I need to explain why they 'might' follow the same route?
