Like I have said couple of time. Impossible. It's not possible with current mobile tech to reach PS3/X360 level graphics. Too much heat and power usage. You don't want handheld with 20 min battery life, that overheats after hour of playing and that costs $599. Sony knows this if they have any business sense. Also if they somehow reached PS3 level graphics developing costs would rise to same level. Knowing that handhelds tend to sell less software with lower price this would be impossible combo as publishers are already struggling with PS3/X360.


Like it said in the article, it actualy has aboyt half the power of  a ps3 but since its displaying on a much lower resolution it is posible. Just play a PC game and compared the fps from when ur in HD and not it goes down alooooot



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

C'mon... if an ipod touch for 230 dollars can do this
 

an PSP2 should be affordable for 250 dollars...

But who know... buttons are expenisve.... ;)

This is essentially what I've been thinking.

This is also the reason why SCE shouldn't bother even considering pricing the PSP2 a penny more than the iPod Touch. If they want, they can even go iPod with the options and offer multiple NAND storage SKU pricing.

Frankly, if we start seeing more games of this caliber on iOS, I'm not sure I even see the point of dedicated handheld consoles barring "must play" platform exclusives. 3D screens and buttons? Great. But it would still boil down to the games themselves to sell the hardware.

I'm really hoping they don't price it above $299.  Even the 3DS is looking like it will be $250 at launch.  I think Nintendo is deciding whether it should be $250 or $300 by seeing what the situation with the yen is.  That's probably why they aren't announcing it.

 

Even Apple couldn't sell the iPhone at $600 - hence why they had to reduce the price to $400 so quickly after launch.

 

I do think Sony is doing it right with the dual analog sticks.  That will really do good in tapping the FPS market segment, which is huge in America.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

also can i say that thing needs FULL playstation Network support. Trophies, same Game Tag as its big brother AND needs to have.. and this is vital to get the 'cod' gamers on... Good online, hard but possible 

the original PSP already have online, and uses the same user name as the Ps3, its not hard.


nope, no friends list, no REAL online gaming and alot of other PS3 features when it comes to the network 

thanks for the reply but the 'its not hard' was very rude. 

Goodness do i have to go on youtube and post those PSP online multiplayer videos everytime someone says something like this? =/ , i must have giving those people lots of hits.

 

This is no Adhoc , its online, you know with the Wifi and all? , besides Friendlist is very easy to include,they didn't have it on PSP because the system wasn't 3G


you dont need to as i have resistance retribution... as i say 'real online'

it was slow clunky and just not that fun to play online. plus with no friendslist it losses it edge. there is nothing network about it

Graphics don't sell a system; software sells a system.

If Sony was in the auto dealing business, here is what they would sound like: "This car is so cool! The engine has so many cylinders, it can go from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds, it has so much torque, and did I mention what it's top speed is?"

There would be no mention of safety features, cup holders, gas mileage and on. All the talk would be about how powerful the car is. Problem is, unless you are selling a muscle car, truck to a blue collar guy, or a lamborghini, the average customer could give a damn about how much torque the engine has.

Sony with the PSP2 is going the same route as the PS3 where the focus is almost entirely on the graphics processing power before we hear about the software. I heard about the software of the 3DS before I learned how powerful the 3DS is.

PSP2 is dead on arrival. I can't wait to be confirmed and feel smug when they announce the entry price point, which if over $250, then well...Anyone want to put a 40th stake through a dead vampire?

Maybe they will release a portable nuclear powerplant attachment with it :D

It's a bit too soon to claim that Sony is prioritizing hardware over software. They haven't actually officially announced this thing yet; they haven't even confirmed that it exists. All this hardware talk is just rumor.

 

The power this device will supposedly possess sounds nice, but what I consider the most intriguing feature is the rear touchpad. I'm courious to see how that will be implemented in the games. This and a few other features could be exactly what the PSP2 needs to set it apart from other handheld devices, most notably the 3DS.
