Persona 3 was reason enough for me to get one, I don't regret being a PSP owner.

That said, if Sony is working on such a "true portable gaming platform", I'm all for it. Just be sure to have a deep library to support it.

One would hope that they would learn. The long term survival of the psp depends on it.

I agree. Hopefully with the psp 2, it will reach that potential.

Wow. Some harsh words. Hope Sony takes this stuff to heart

I still have my original PSP from launch and I still don't regret purchasing one and sticking behind the handheld.  Just wished that Sony really used it to its fulliest potential.  Granted I'm only a casual handheld player.

Kind of ironic from the guy who made three games to keep that thing from dying once it hit the ground.

He's absolutely correct in that the PSP was doomed to fail. When a console is so easy to hack and play pirated games why would publishers and developers invest money making a game for a system such as the PSP. He is also correct in saying the PSP is an amazing system that can do amazing things. I own all of RAD's games for the PSP and I am currently playing though Chains of Olympus and they are amazing titles for a hand-held system. I sure hope that Sony learns from the PSP and makes the PSP2 amazing because there is so much potential in the system.

Aww man I just bought a psp

It all comes down to the cost. That's the defining factor of whether a handheld lives or dies.

Lets hope Sony doesn't get lazy with the PSP2.

Doomed to fail but he and his company tried their hardest to make sure it didn't by making great games. Who knows, if they hadn't have developed those games, maybe the system would have just died and Sony would have produced a much better portable device quicker. It would be unfortunate if Sony's PSP2 was truly a smartphone because if they don't announce it and a date soon, they may lose out because I'm more and more eyeballing smartphones.

there is an error in "Filed Under" tags, it says, "god of way" instead of "god of war"

Dude then why are u being a hypocrite and make games for this system.... go spend your time on something that was doomed.... ffs, wow... I'm not a psp fan but wow....

Monster Hunter Portable 3. less then 2 weeks, nuff' said. One of my most anticipated games this year

i fully agree with this, the PSP sucks. it has no good games, and the only games that are labeled as "good" are boring, mediocre sacks of crap.

I agree. The system never really got its foot in the door. The DS shut out all hope.

PSP seems to be really cool, but PSP Go was just a horrid idea. Here's hoping PSP2 learns from those mistakes.

I'd say the gameboy audience being surprisingly loyal had more to do with it.

I have a PSP, and really like it. I just wish there were more games worth playing.

Sony acknowledged their mistakes and took to heart criticisms they got in regards to the PS3, and look how far its come. Hopefully the same will prove true for the next step in the PSP.
