Did the PSP have a game released on it last year?

The proclamation of 10-year life cycles is deceptive. They are expecting the fact that the Wii has redefined gaming for the mainstream to mean that the PS3 and PSP will be the consoles of choice for those who don't want to change with the times. To some extent, they're correct; just as the Atari 2600 enjoyed a longer-than-normal lifespan thanks to it being the last (and practically only) console of the pre-NES era, the PS3 and PSP will similarly benefit from hangers-on. But the problem is that the Atari (and the PS3 and PSP, when that time comes) got little to no support during its "rebirth" at the dawn of the NES age. However, I strongly suspect that it will be the PS2, not the PS3, that gets the title of "last console standing" for the ex-modern era of gaming consoles that the NES started.

Haha, you know sony's admitting its in trouble when it starts talking about 10 year plans. Notice this year sony hasn't mentioned it and the PS3 is starting to pick up?

*Imagines PSP sales 5 years from now*

This can't be a good thing. Release a new PSP, make it as hacker free as possible, and 2 analogs, upgrade it a bit and we are good to go.

Could always release it when cell becomes itty bitty, like at the 32nm or 22nm process nodes? :) Thats a couple of years away for 32nm.

Make the PSP hacker-proof, and there goes 1/2 to 2/3rds of the PSP's hardware sales...

So? At least the people that buy it will buy it for games.

If the PSP is still losing Sony money for each unit sold, then sure, being more anti-pirate might be a good idea; at least that way they'd be losing less on hardware. But if they're making a profit on the PSP hardware, then adding anti-pirate measures would ultimately just be limiting their profits.

considering the things the psp had going it against it I say it has done pretty well for itself, and now is helping to offset the loss of the ps3.

 But then even if hardware sales would be lower , software sales would become higher -> more exclusives would come -> exclusives would sell hardware ( or this plan would just blow up in their faces :P ) .
