I regret making this my username, I made this name when I was 13 years old

Life could always get worse, you could be a mod for Neogaf

Same reason as you, too much gaming on PS3.

This is going to actually explain why I sold my PSP, but it works in the context of this question also:

-Many games needed to be made with two analog sticks to function, and they suck controlling them with only one, i.e. Syphon Filter, Fight Night Round 3, etc.

-American support dried up. You have watered down racing games, watered down sports games, and Assassin's Creed. Those are your choices.

-Sony puts their B and C teams on the PSP, even when dealing with key A-level franchises. The one time they have an A-team make a game, the damn team puts in a C-level effort.

-The damn load times...oh the damn load times

-The D-Pad sucks. It's stiff and sticky. Anything with heavy utilization of the D-pad like Guilty Gear and Disgaea are a pain in the ass to control.

-The support just dries up altogether for months at a time. We'll have a few ridiculously niche titles scattered in that time for those that are into them, but nothing that captures most peoples' attention, including my own many times.

I still think it's funny that people have such a hard time to play handheld games at home. I do it all the time. Why? Because the handhelds have lots and lots of great games that's not available for the home consoles (and lie down in the bed and play is awesome, by the way). And I'm not going to miss out on those experiences just because I don't travel any near as much as I should have to do to have time to play them.
