Because its not a mobile phone. There is only room it seems for one dedicated mobile gaming device, and thats going to be the 3DS, though not for long. Dedicated devices are going to be dwarfed by cell phone gaming.

The end is nigh.


People still want dedicated machines along with their casual "do everything, but meh machine".

Less and less will want this. Pockets are overflowing. Once you look at the age group that carry their cell phone with them at all times you will see the dedicated devices decline.

I already don't use my DS/PSP as a mobile device. They sit at home and are only ever played at home. Soon enough when those games like Final Fantasy start poping up on iOS and android phones there won't even be a reason to buy a PSP or DS.


I don't play on the go really much... but i don't think Square-Enix will start putting weekly Final Fantasy on cellphones for 5 dolars... in my cell i just put free games, i just play it now and then. My PSP (that actually my fiancè plays) have way more games.

Where is the "it won fail" option? Since i don't think it will, unless its over $400 when it launches, then it will surely fail, unless they market it as a smartphone.

I never put it there because no matter what happens people will always say it's doomed... because it won't sell as 3DS, or Iphone or the games won't sell... or insert the reason...

I think it will have good sales and games, but to expect it to pass 3DS is a little stretch.

Yeah but not selling as much as the competition doesn't meant it fails, as long as there is market and they make money.

Where were you in the last discussion about PSP failure??

I agree with you that selling enough is alright (you don't need to be the most sold to be profitable or a sucess), but this is for the fanboys giving the reasons why PSP2 (NGP) will fail, since it won't sell gazzilions, maybe some 100 M LTD.

I voted for battery life as this is the reason why I am not interested. However, I believe that it will be priced to high to be a big hit.



KungKras on 03 February 2011

Seems I was right.

It will fail (or at least continue Sony's retreat upmarket) because it will be extremely high-end.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I think PSP2 is going to be aimed at such a different market, that it does not even make sense to compare it to iPod and DS. IMO the smartest thing Sony could do is just focus on making this the most hardcore platfrom on the market. Sell it for a profit on hardware, put it out at like $899. Don't worry about massive 3rd party support, just get great titles. Develope world class games in house, and even if it only moves 30M life time, just make sure it is profitable.

And then they should just call it the Neo-Geo Portable/Pocket

Oh, wait...
