As an owner of an original PSP, this upgrade looks weak and underwhelming, not nearly enough to warrant me buying a new one.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Last update: Week ending November 3, 2007

I wouldn't say im a fanboy, I have the wii, ps2, xbox 360 and dsl. I was just curious if anyone else is a little underwhelmed by the psp slim's changes. I mean I guess im comparing it to the dslite, which is a huge change aesthetically. I guess the biggest difference for the slim is it's around 33% lighter, but is that in itself worthy of a new model, and repurchasing it? It is almost identical minus the weight and maybe an 1/8". Which handheld change was more significant? Thoughts?

 theres way more changes then that

Its slimer, lighter, and has a brighter screen. They also have a new analog stick and a video out port. I cant tell you weight vs weight as I dont feel like looking up their weights. 


Enough reasons for me to get me one. I've bought myself the Pink version from Japan.


 *Jealous* :(.

I think the people that say its not worth it arent psp owners. I should be the first to say its not worth it since I love my psp more than my ps3. Therfore if I say its worth it then ITS WORTH IT.
