Apple sold like a zillion ipods (including the ipod touch) before they launched the ipod-itouch-phone (usually called the iphone). A top selling product (ipod) easily morphing into a huge profit making phone (iphone).

Sony can just about sell the PSP and last I heard their phones haven't been setting the world alight - although profits are very good for a third successive quarter which is good for Sony, sales are down.

If PSPs were flying off the shelves, beating the DS and SE phones were up in sales I would be quite confident of it doing well - but never an iphone killer.

..but what do I know?

Sony can create good hardware but Apple is the interface king.  Unless they can make the experience as seamless and easy/fun to use, it has no chance to killing the iPhone. 



Not even close or close to that or even close to that.  Even if PSP2 was the PSPhone, it still wouldn't come close to killing the i-Phone.

I'm thinking if they release a pspphone It would be along with a psp2, similar to the itouch and iphone. That way people who don't want a phone could buy it for cheaper.  I'm almost positive a pspphone would end up being much more expensive then $250 without a contract. Just look at the none contract prices of current smart phones, and they by no means have graphics anywhere near between xbox and 360 level. I also don't think it would hurt iphone sales that much. A lot of buyers aren't that interesting in buying games that require more then a few minutes of invested time, plus there are the many hardcore apple fans that would never buy anything else. Although it could hurt iphone sales  for the 18-30 year old crowd.


I think this will happen also.

if you use the corners of the psphone and strike hard enough, then yeah, a psphone could kill the i-phone



there is a chance it will outsell the iphone but it's slim, if it does i highly doubt it will outsell in games bought for it.
