Without any kind of game cartridges or other physical media, it will be unsuccessful. I want to see these games of shelves, in the stores, or previously owned copies for cheap, not only on PSN. If it's just PSN again - no deal. In that case Sony can keep their precious PSP2 and put it right next to the PSPGo. I want to trade games with friends, whenever I want, with whomever I want, whereever I want.

I have to agree a major part of the PSP's success is the fact that out of the box launch day it was already hacked and playing roms. Where as I think Sony will nip the piracy in the butt this time round. I think Sony has learnt from PS3 how to create a platform that isn't easily pirated.

So without piracy being a big issue I think software sales will rise on the PSP2. However those pirates aren't as likely to pick up a PSP2 so it will also hurt sales. Another factor that will hurt sales is alot of PSP owners who bought PSP expecting it to be a better alternative to Nintendo. Many of these gamers ended up buying DS's and now their PSP's gather dust , these gamers aren't likely to pick up PSP2.

Another factor will be the PSPhone, many consumers will pick up a PSPhone and be confused, dumb consumers will likely buy a PSPhone as an alternative to PSP2. This will cut into sales even more as PSP2 now needs to compete directly with itself (PSPhone) as well as I-Phone and other smart phones.

Then of course their is 3DS but I think judging on PSP's performance that Nintendo isn't going to drive the PSP2 into the ground on its own. I think all the factors such as lack of piracy, high price, competition with PSPhone as well as competition from I-Phones and other smart phones. This is what will lead the PSP to inferior sales.

Now Michael Pachter predicts dead on arrival. However I am more optamistic then he is. I think PSP2 lifetime sales may be around 23-27 million, no where near as strong as PSP but good enough to produce profits for Sony. The console I predict will survive a full five year generation. If the console does worse then I predict then PSP2 will probubly be Sony's last handheld game centric device.

we shouldn't but people will based on the fact that psp is a hardcore gaming handheld and psp2 and psp2phone will be  hardcore too

i myself wouldn't like it but the tracking will definetly include those numbers and my comment was upon that

and even then iphone got to do better than what its doing right now to atleast be known as a serious gaming device by the hardcore gamers.

and who are you sony ericson's ceo giving a lecture?

i know it isn't and i wasn't talking about that.

zeus is just the prolonging on psp1 cycle.they will start to integrate psp in all their phones as it is a plus point and sony wants it to survive 10 year life cycle.

but when psp2 release,it will have a higher end phone with psp2 integration too.i am just saying what i think will happen.you can disagree with it but sony has a really big market that they just won't let go

The PSP2 will have an uphill struggle, almost vertical.  I'm not saying it can't be done, but it is going to be by  no means easy.

Among the PSP's strengths was that it had very good Japanese so called 'hardcore' 3rd party support, such as Peace Walker, Persona, Crisis Core, Monster Hunter, Valkyria Chronicles, BBS, etc.  Despite the likes of Persona and MGS not appearing at all on the DS, they are announced for the 3DS.

PSP2 successful? Are you joking? LOL

Sorry but any "HD power" will be enough to surpass the Nintendo 3DS.

You'll see.

Before we even discuss these things, can we at least wait for it to be officially announced?

Depends on its apps, and how strong third party support is.

It will have PSP Go levels of sales at first but if Sony is willing to take a loss on hardware they can probably do respectable numbers  (about 1/3 the sales of 3DS would be the best case and 1/10 worst case).
