I'm not sure how Sony plans to combat the 3DS. All I know is that Kevin Butler's speech at E3 was one of the most awesome things I witnessed outside of the Nintendo Press Conference.


It was scripted.

Games are scripted. That doesn't make them bad.

Again if Sony can start to sell at an affordable price from the start, and gain more and more 3rd party support (their 1st parties are solid) then they will do great...

I personally think that Ninty will need something unique 'again' to get the leader position next gen ...they are more than capable of this however...but I also think Sony and MS are too..so it's anyones game really :D we all gain tho, better the rivalry the better the games

Sony's first party is good, but Nintendo's is in a whole different league. I'm not saying a new Sony handheld / console wouldn't do well, but I definitely don't see why people assume they have any chance at outdoing Nintendo just by "not screwing up."

Why would Nintendo need something unique to remain leader? I don't understand that mentality. Nintendo has the strongest first party by far, and if they come into a gen with AAA third party support (which they virtually had none of in the west this gen), it'd be no contest. It's the third party games that keep the Sony / MS consoles afloat, and if that differential is removed, well...

It's Sony / MS that need to do something unique to overcome the current leader. I wouldn't say that's impossible, but the odds are really against them.

"but Nintendo's is in a whole different league"

That's more like an opinion tho...I personally think Sony first party is on a whole different league than both other parties BUT that's a debate for a different thread...so let's not go there

And going by your argument they should have been the market leader in every generation they were in the market yes? Not like their first party suddenly came up with killer new IP for the console

The NUMBER ONE selling point when Wii came out was the motion controls, simple as that, if not for that they wouldn't have had such a huge gap between them and the HD twins...btw this doesn't mean they couldn't have been number one, it means there wouldn't be such a huge gap

We will see if this is true or not if they come out next gen with something unique that outshines the competition....but like I said, for us gamers, more rivalry the better so it's all good

I cant wait till we get the psp-over9000!!! :P


Keep scrolling down on that list and they should have PSP-9000 reserved.



whatever sony does it will be too late (like move and kinect). i can't wait for the shameless quotes: "3D on a portable is a horrible idea, but on a home console its the only way anyone should play video games, ever."



What they need to do, is do exactly the same as the 3DS but psp style; meaning 3D without glasses and a huge omgwtfbbq lineup on launch date. With a price cheaper that 3DS( That, might be hard). THEN, they will put up a good challenge for the 3DS. Also a second analog would always be welcomed :D

 

PSP-4000 will barely do anything..except in japan, maybe.
