Forums - Sony - Has the PSP made a profit yet?

Kantor on 26 December 2008

PSP definitely made a profit because every system was sold at a profit.
There should be a PSP2, but not before 2011 or so. And God, I hope they don't call it the PSP2, that's just awful.

I assume Sony will make another disc format, obviously the new one should hold much more then the UMD.

If anything it might be smart for them to sell low space memory cards with the games on them rather than a new disc format. Otherwise why not just use UMD again. UMD can already hold 1.8 gig, thats double or triple what most PSP games need.

Id rather see PSP get a bridge revision, PSP-4000. Sort of an in between PSP and PSP2. With some internal memory (like 2 gigs), better battery life, better screen (not the crap one on the PSP-3000), and a refocus on downloadable games.

Push hard to put all of the top selling PSP and old PSX games on the playstation store. Push publishers to bypass UMD altogether and put their games on the playstation store.

When the PSP2 comes out in a couple years (2-3), with 4 gigs internal memory and a memory card slot as the way to store games, it will be cheaper than PSP started out with and we wont have to deal with UMD.

 

considering the PSP-3000's is the best of the three PSP revisions I think your mistaken

PSP-3000 suffers from horizontal lines.  The better display clarity and contrast ratio can't make up for that.

This and Agreed. 2000 series at the moment is the best, in my opinion of course. :P

and you realize that most $3000 HDTVs suffer from the same lines right?

Might want to change your arguement.

Lol. I'll stick by my argument thanks.  I don't buy $3000 HDTVs, ill stick with my tried and true sub $500 HDTVs, without the horizontal lines.

It'd help if you knew what the hell you were talking about. The PSP-3000 absolutely has the best screen of the PSP models... the clarity is so much higher in fact, that it reveals the scanlines - which you only see because for some idiotic reason, almost all PSP games are interlaced.
