Once again, just to be clear... Some people tend to overestimate Sony's 1st party offerings as a competitive factor against Nintendo. Granted, it doesn't mean that there're no other factors that could be used in favour of next Sony's handheld and against Nintendo to carve a niche for it, make it greatly successful device or even "win" the next gen. In the end Sony could even pump up software production in the way Nintendo did (in five years they multiplied the revenue coming from sales of self-published and self-developed games by a few times) if they get all things right to make self-published games more relevant on grand scheme, though it's highly unlikely.

Im sure Sony would make an excellent third party developer on the 3DS. If their software is as good as people say it is then they could attain excellent sales for their titles especially as people have claimed, they are as good with 3D as they say they are.

Last time I checked FF13 is a third party PS3 game that drove sales in Japan (or even worldwide).

8 of 10 top selling PS3 games in Japan are third pary games including top 4. 8 out of 10 top selling PS3 games worldwide are third party games including top 6. It certainly doesn't look like people buy PS3 mainly for first party or second party game.

and comparing sony first party (and lets say 2nd) to Nintendo's first (and also 2nd) you can throw opinions any which way you want over which is more QUALITY, but that isn't what will win a console war.

Someone posted top selling sony game was 3.5 million and nintendo had 17 over that mark on the ds.  those 17 games like it or not pushed console buying.  doesn't matter if you think that 1 game is better than those 17, the end result is DS selling way more than the PSP. 

So in a discussion about a 3DS killer, ONLY SALES MATTER.  So only bring up games that sell a lot and move consoles.  Bringing up some critically aclaimed game that didn't sell much is not a KILLER game. 

Yep, I was wrong about that. I already know it

Pokemon is believe to kill anything in sales soooo fast. So as long as Nintendo has it's 1st party titles, there will be no one getting killed.

Sony should buy Digimon and try to revive its popularity.

I'd lol about people says sony could come easily with a 3D glassless screen that had multi touch capacity... Because, first sony try to bash the 3DS saying that the 3D glassless screen they prototype on their  laboratories don't have good quality (so by extend they wanted to say the one on 3DS should be the same) and second, Nintendo try 3D touch screen but haven't implement it because the fact to put your hand on the 3D screen make the 3D perception on the screen disappear.

For the PSP2  has multimedia machine, it will be more harsh because they will now to fight against the ipod touch, iphone and ipad that got all the multimedia features, the hype plus some small games that are designed to be played on the go.

Last for the power, every other company on the hand-held market try to compete with Nintendo with the power (Atari, Sega, sony) each time they get beat because this have a big downhill, the battery autonomy. Every Nintendo hand-held has battery life of 10 hours or more. That's important for a device that you will likely play everywhere and on the go, not close to a plug (as my Game Gear :p).

OMG!

It would be the "metooest" thing they could do, I can't think about anything "metooer"

Did anybody actually watch them? I remember years ago Italian state TV broadcasted them in a lame attempt to compete with Mediaset that had Pokemon...

Digimon was meant to be the alternative and compete directly against Pokemon.

But, apparently, they lose the momentum before they could even catch up and disappear.

IMO, they just lack the right people to lead.
