The PSP2 is nowhere near as powerful as a PS3, not even a 15. Nearer a 110.

 

The CPU inside the PSP2 although running at 2Ghz or around there is still nowhere near as fast as even 1 of the PS3 spu running at 2Ghz (if it were, which it isn't, it's going at 3.2Ghz). It's like the old comparison of comparing the intelAMD Ghz thing.

 

Go do some googling on the actual chip used and you will see, it's basically a glammed up smartphone, with a 3d card. - That is the difference, and it's a big one.

 

The PSPhone on the other hand is just 1 big joke, that really is just a smartphone, a modern one but by no means any faster than anything the competition is releasing at that time. (It's got that new nvidia graphics chip, which lots of other phones will have)

 

edit- in response the the claims of the psp2 being somewhere between a PSP1 PS3...Hmmmm, I spose that is correct and goes without saying, but it implies it's in the middle - which it definately isn't.

 

Think of a 12 inch penis, a 2 inch penis and a 4 inch penis :)

 

Although the PSP only has a 333mhz processor downclocked to 222mhz (think a couple of games unlock it to 333, but anyhow). It's a proper processor as used in a PS2 and faster than an equivalent Pentium II 400Mhz of it's time era if you get me...

 

So 2Ghz is 6 times 333mhz, means nothing.



Anyways, if you want some hints look up Cortex A9, which is the CPU inside the PSP2, there's a few websites out there comparing it to a high end Atom CPU!!!

 

Which says it all really.

So, PSP has a 2'' penis, PS3 has a 12'' penis and PSP2 will have a 4'' penis.

Does that make all male owners of Sony consoles gay?

I got to "The 3DS, in terms of graphics, truly looks like a slightly improved PSP" gave up on giving you credit and just pulled a tl;dr that's a joke and a half in of itself, no reason to even continue this debate if you're going to say stuff like that cause it won't go anywhere.

Then you missed some good points.  And please, do show me screenshots of a game on the 3DS tht is VASTLY superior to the PSP and comparable to the games we have seen so far on the NGP.

Vastly superior is your opinion. That's why your argument is flawed. The factors you consider vastly superior mean nothing to people who have other preferences.

Actually, that has nothing to do with my opinion.  I said that the 3DS so far has only proved it can pump out graphics that were a little better than the PSP, mostly better AA and shadowing from what I have seen.  This was just addressing a specific part of the discussion Maxwell and I were having.  If you think it is better because of other reasons besides graphics, than you have the right to that opinion.

@ Beuli2

I'll just ignore that post.  Either you're joking or you're not up on your gaming history.

It's just that his English is pretty bad. I am quite sure he meant to say that there were no mainline Mario and Pokémon games made for the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, only spinoffs.

While I'll give him that Nintendo seems to be missing a HUGE opportunity and didn't/haven't put out a Pokemon game like that found on its handhelds for its home consoles, they still didn't lack Mario games.  I don't think Mario 64 or Mario Sunshine could hardly be called a "spinoff."  Especially not Mario 64.  Heck, many proclaimed it as the shining example that games could make the transition from 2-D to 3-D, but it still didn't save the N64.  Of course, both systems still saw releases of mainline titles in Nintendo's other popular series, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid and Kirby.  Then they also had a new popular series, Super Smash Bros., when contained characters from all their other franchises.

Exactly. I love Naughty Dog, and sadly they aren't working on this Uncharted. Who knows, maybe the guys at Naughty Dog have got something up their sleeve for the NGP that we haven't seen yet.


I've yet to see one of Sonys main teams work on big handheld titles, the only one I can list off is Sony Japan working on a couple of Ape Escape titles, which were really basic stuff, not like pushing what they could do with the system.  It's hard to say if Naughty Dog will ever be put to work on a handheld title.

these types of statements show how little you know of the device. I suggest do a bit more research next time before posting such rubbish

why does everyone think that more is better.  so what if ds and 3ds have two screens, that doesnt necessarily make them better.  sometimes less is more.  besides that, all i have to say is uncharted portable > any other portable game


Stop overrating Uncharted.


Man this Uncharted NGP is made by an outsourced team and we know that turned out amazing for Ratchet and Clank and Secret Agent Clank, oh wait... truth be told my thoughts exactly sir, Uncharted is great but it's great because of the developers behind it with this own creative story and style.  Game play for Uncharted isn't that special just very solid which I've said this before in another thread today solid game play is much more than 90% of games can give.

How is two screens a big advantage? I don't get it.The PSP2 screen in bigger then the combined two screens that the 3DS has.

It's not the size that matters, but how you use it.

 

Yeah and DS/3DS can double team ;D

Exactly. I love Naughty Dog, and sadly they aren't working on this Uncharted. Who knows, maybe the guys at Naughty Dog have got something up their sleeve for the NGP that we haven't seen yet.

don't worry about the game or the quality. If you have played games made by Sony Bend for the psp before, you should know it won't be a problem.

which leads me to my next Q...how many sony Bend games have you played on the PSP?

just because another team working on it doesn't mean the game will be bad, that's a silly way of thinking which makes me believe most of you who will whine about this have no clue about what these teams have done in the past on such devices

Then tell me what PSP games Naughty Dogg, Insomniac, Santa monica, or even an exclusive third party team like Sucker Punch.  Those are the three big teams that people see Sony, see their IPs, and attach them to Sony.  For someone so "knowledgeable" you're rather rude while not posting any examples.

It's not even an opinion when developers can easily port over some of their PS3 and 360 titles, something they can't do on PSP cause that's downgrading past PS2 levels, Capcom put the MT Framework and had a version of Resident Evil 5 running on the 3DS and that took them all of less than a year to do since they starting getting dev kits early last year, tested MT framework, and had their Resident Evil game ready to show off by E3.

I could see the point that it's only "slightly" better than PSP if we're talking OoT remake, but that's already been proven to be one of the worst looking 3DS titles, and the DS has yet to even release in the west.
