why would anyone want a psp now that the 3ds is coming out? A price cut when the Go came out was the time to get a little more sales off the psp, not now. Way too late...for how old and outdated the psp is, it should be $99 by now. I can see it selling at that price...

If the psp is outdated, the same should be said for the DS, even more so but yet there's less people clamouring to say that...what gives?

Traditionally Nintendo is outdated at time of release, so they don't care...
With the exception Seemingly the 3DS...which seems to pack a punch for a portable....but will be outpaced by technology fairly quickly, i imagine.
Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

But why count them seperately? Either way, the psp is selling, it offers an alternative, either way you are still buying a psp. I'm defending the psp as a whole because it comes across as if some people (Not you persay) are using the Go as a back door to suggest that the whole psp name is a failure, it's not uncommon to see people who don't care think highly of Sony let alone the psp use it as a means to sling unnecessary insults at it, that's why I always say the psp family as a whole is doing well. Additionally, VGchartz doesn't count the Go seperately (as far as I'm aware) therefore it is considered a part of the psp name so to count it on it's own is considered a low blow in my opinion. Second additional points, I don't see many comments on how the DSI:XL/DS etc are doing whether it's good or bad but yet we get one of these much too often, I call nitpicking. |
Last I heard the DS XL was selling good. Not great, but it wasn't the disaster the analysts were calling it (and I was caling it, since like the PSP go it was silly expensive.)
Since it was doing well, but not amazing or poor it's not worth talking about.
Also to be fair, the PSP Go is a much bigger dynamic change then any of the above mentioned.
More similar to say, the Gameboy and the Gameboy color. Or the Gameboy and the Micro Gameboy, in that the games themselves are somewhat delivered differently.
This was an attempt to get in on the ground floor at the digitial download level, but it didn't work despite digital download being huge.
The reason for it's failure is an important one to note, because it needs to be decided if it's a statement against the product itself, or against the market of digital distribution.
The first seems more likely due to the fact that things like Steam are growing exponetially.

That's my point though, why does everyone queue up to call the psp outdated when the DS is just as guilty and to add insult to injury, was out of date a lot sooner than the psp?

To be fair, though I like it a lot more... the PSP FEELS a lot more out of date.
Touchscreen makes all the difference.
Though it's "out of dateness" is why I like the PSP. It feels like having a portable PS1/PS2.
It felt out of date from the start, but a lot of people liked that.
The DS... just feels like the DS.
It being a reason people wouldn't but it... I don't buy. People not buying a PSP go because of the PSP2.... or because a regular PSP is just a better buy though.... that I can see.

Yeah, I would want a PSP. I've always wanted to play Lumines.

since people are still buying it I think that should answer your own question, I don't know their names tho lol
to be fair, if psp feels outdated and should be 99, ds should be at least 50 cuz it feels way way way more outdated than the psp. Heck some games on the psp nowadays rival those of shown for the 3DS in quality.
and this is not shocking news really, they don't care too much about the Go now...they are just clearing things up for next year...I'm still thinking GDC for the PSP2..by then MH3P effect etc should have died down (PS which should show you some more people who would buy PSP's despite 3DS coming out btw)
