klaudkil on 30 May 2009

this could be the biggest flop for sony.. or the biggest comeback it al depends on how we can download the games wich games and of course how much the systeem will be sold... if its around 150 euro/dollar...then if has a chance to make a big comeback the gaming industry has ever seen.

Lack of touchscreen = Sony failed.

To be fair NAZ, this is just like the DSI, an answer to the Ipod Touch. They are still keeping the 3000 version, so people who like a bigger screen will a get a  choice.

All I need to know is the battery life before i make up my mind.

Well the DSi, and ipod changed to a bigger screen, not a smaller screen..

And the DSi was the answer for the PsP-3000 more then the other way around..

Are you serious? DSi an answer to the PSP 3000? Why would they add a camera and an online store? Both things that the PSP 3000 didn't have.

It was announced two and a half months later, for God's sake! You think that's enough time to make up a new system? The DSi was the answer to the slowdown in DS Lite sales in Japan, and to a lesser but still prominent extent, the iPhone. Neither the DSi or the PSP 3000 were "answers" to each other.


On topic, the Go looks aesthetically pleasing, but the buttons are too close together for my taste. Playing iPhone games horizontally and using the bottom of the screen as buttons is really uncomfortable, and since the Go is about the same size, I don't think I'll be picking it up.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

The PSstore is PSP compatible for years now, and there is the cammera attachement for probably the same ammount of time ;) God I wish I people would educate themselves about the PSP before posting in a thread about it :|

 

@klaudkill: I agree... I cant wait to see how Sony will deal with the software and hardware pricing... this could make or break the PSPs future, and I hope it will be the first option :D

So people really don't care about the screwed up screen? Really? That was the major selling point of the PSP for me, as well as what Sony spent the first 2 years bragging about to try and get at the DS.

Some people buy anything I guess....

Hmm, I value the larger screen. No PSP Go! for me.

PSP Go is likely at a higher resolution though.

How could they make a small screen that slides, be thinner, and have a higher resolution. While still remaining cheap?

Umm... wouldn't it be smart to wait until it's true unveiling to make sure that the aspect ratio is messed up? Let's wait until Tuesday to bitch, mmkay?

Looks nice, I am happy with my DSi as my portable this gen and will stick with it. But you really cant go wrong with any of the PSP models you may have, or look to purchase in the future. Lets just wait and see the pricing.....I am guessing $199.
