R.i.p. Psp ?

[Mustang]

Article is nonsense : the author clearly isnt a fan of homebrew, emulators or hasnt done his reasearch - I heard about psp homebrew through a leading uk pc games magazine, from a staff who are passionate about games future, it's heritage and what it means to be a gamer....

I had the DS at launch and couldnt be more dissappointed - if he had compared the psp to the gp2 then it may be a different matter, but comparing it to the one trick pony (touch screen) handheld is pathetic (sorry nintendo fans : nothing personal), the two systems are very different.

The PSP is far more than just a portable game console, is a little Dreams Machine.

I still see my PSP and think: how the hell did they stuff so many wonderfull things in this little black box??

BTW, the D.C. wasn't a failure, i still think its a increible piece of hardware, a lot of fun for little money, its a shame that Sega let the DC die (die?? well, it has its homebrew scene too, and its great!!!)

Buying a Nintendo DS at launch is what sold PSP for me. I had that thing for what felt like FOREVER before there were any games better than Mario64DS.

It took about a year after I had traded in my DS for a PSP that I had any interest in buying one again, and that interest is really only based on games that STILL havent come out for DS yet and the fact that they redesigned the entire console!

The PSP will never die!! Nintendo DS sucks a**, i use to own one. I sold cuz u have to buy other things to run homebrew, wiht the PSP its as easy as 1-2-3!!!
Screw GameWorld Network they dont know how to really use the PSP!! I think Nintendo payed them to say that. Conspiracy anyone?
LONG LIVE THE PSP!!

Another article from Nintendo Fanboy ranting his *** off while buckets of sweat roll down his armpit....

Lets see:

1) Of course the dev costs are high... Look at the games. Take Brave Story. Compare those graphics to ps1 graphics, now compare them to Nintendogs... See the diffference? The graphics for the psp are astounding for a PORTABLE system. Almost on par w/ early ps2 graphics. (Remember Eternal Ring any1?)

2)"a lack of hit games." Hmmmm... Valkyrie Profile, Syphon Filter, Daxter, Lumines, Socom... Just to name a few.... Sry they aren't baby games like "Nintendogs" aka Pet Simulator for ppl w/o a life, or stupid

3) "its poor E3 performances"... Lumines II, Crisis Core, Socom 2, Every Extend Extra (E3), and Loco Roco say differently...

4) "the competition it faces from the formidable DS Lite"... Yea, maybe in Japan. Not in America or Europe.... I see at least 3-5 ppl on my way to work w/ psp earbuds and the psp everyday... I see 1 crying little brat kid w/ a DS....

5) "The PSP was $100 dollars more than the DS and $170 dollars more than a GBA." Can the DS play MP3's, Videos, Web browse, listen to RSS feeds, dl PS1 games, and look at photos out of the box. I think not. And while we're at it, lets compare emulators/ homebrew.... Right, the DS can't emulate N64 games or PS1 games,

People are worried that the psp may be a commercial failure?!

Seriously who here actually plays commercial umds anyway? Were here form homebrew!!

The point is. We have our own community and our own scene. The psp has done more for the homebrew scene then most of you will ever know. So the question is in who's eyes did this system fail? Because it didn't line Sony's pockets well enough!? The homebrew scene will be here for us, And only get better for years to come on the psp. Hell the dreamcast is still getting homebrew! Just keep coming back to dcemu and we'll keep giving you the best homebrew on the planet. Forget about $sony, We've got your back

[RedKing14CA]

That line about how the games cost 10 times more...

WTF!!!!!!!!! WTF'N F'K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats because all the GBA games were FK'N REMAKES!!

i like nothing using the F word

[saint24]

does this not sound like sony screwed them over something?

there is tons of life left in the psp thanks to recent developments.

they were definately real pissed about something dont you think?

Although I love my PSP (and wouldn't ever trade it)
IMHO am I the only thing that thinks homebrew helped it gained popularity? Then again I got mine without knowing about the emu's and I still loved it.:P
