Your funny ... compare the 2 version of SW TFU and youl see what I mean ;)

I can honestly say that there is no games coming out from no to the end of the year that I will be buying for PSP. Although, I did buy 4 from earlier this year, because many great games were released earlier this year. Maybe they should have spread it out and saved God of War for holiday time.

09 is looking a bit better though, because of LocoRoco 2, Patapon 2, Resistance: Retribution and Stardust Portable - There needs to be more though.

I think it'll have a comeback. The PSP's resurgence in japan will lead to a bunch of new support from Japanese devs. Many of these games will make it to the US eventually, so in a year or two it will start receiving a plentiful supply of new content.

It may come a bit too late, but the fact that it's coming at all will help somewhat.

Because lots of people like playing 360 online and don't want to risk getting banned.

Piracy had nothing to do with it. DS has massive piracy but it still sells.
The PSP library is horrible. If you can name 10 good games that doesnt mean its library was good. It needs way more. The PSP is a terrible gaming platform and it fails as a gaming platform because it tries to be so many different things and gets none of them right so it fails in all it tries to be.

Actually, I think the PSP would have done worse without the multimedia functions. UMD movies were a flatout failure, but everything else has been an extra selling point to many of their customers and motivated sales. They'd probably have lower hardware and software sales without those functions. Really, there's virtually no extra cost to have them since the hardware was capable to begin with, and their existance has no effect on a developer's ability to make games.

Frankly, the multi-media funtions are a significant part of why attach rates are low, but I'd take low tie ratios in exchange for selling more copies of the games. I highly doubt the PSP would be on course for lifetime sales around 50 million if it were a straightforward game machine. It wouldn't have made it cheaper at retail and it wouldn't have pushed developers to try harder on the machine, so it's illogical to claim that multi-media functions are the downfall of the PSP.

Sony's PSP problems were laid out very well by exindguy. I'd also like to insert the fact that Sony has done a poor job of defining their image to the consumer and the developers have done a poor job of taking advantage of its capabilities.

How wrong you are.

If you look at these Gamerankings:

If you noticed, both PSP and DS have 121 titles of 70%+.

Looking at this:

http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/simpleratings.asp

PSP has 47 titles over 80%, DS has 44.

You obviously don't own a PSP and you obviously haven't tried most of the games. It has a great game library that mostly caters to different tastes then the DS.

I suggest you actually get to know something before trash talking it.

Aj_habfan post FTW . Now please can we let this topic die now ?

The problem with the PSP is that it's a portable that isn't made by Nintendo.

It certainly outsold the Atari Lynx, and the Sega portable. Don't even get me started on the n-gage

Ha ha, good old Ngage, ive still got my NGAGE QD in my draw, along with my Gizmondo and GP2X. The GP2X is great for playing SNES/Genesis/GBA games and old PC FPS such as Doom/Quake/Blood/Duke and ROTT.
