No pricedrop.
No exclusive games except Patapon 3 and what?
No PSP2 info.
No PSPGo pricedrop!!!
distinguished mentally-challenged marketing campaign aimed at punks.

Incredible.

Exclusive games isn't the problem. They've got that on lock with Patapon 3, KH: BBS, Parasite Eve 3, Hot Shots Tennis and more. But this being the only answer to 3ds tells me that Sony may be calling it quits in the portable market. Either that, or we'll see something at TGS.

More like smart.

Look, there's no way they could have countered the 3DS hype.  Revealing their own next-gen portable system would have seemed desperate at best.  IF they plan to do a PSP2, now was not the right time to reveal it.  If not, well, they'll just let the PSP keep going I guess.

Plenty of exclusive games, though, not sure what you're talking about.

Not sure how they'll compete.  The DS hardware was atrocious and it didn't matter in the end.  The 3DS actually looks competitive for a change.  How could they match that?  If not for the obvious cellphone hate, I could have seen them creating a PSPhone. 

If they were to release a phone free of any contracts ala Nexus One but actually at a good price it could have been something special.  The reason I play most portable games on my iPhone is simply because I always have it on me.  Seems like the most logical direction for them at this point.  They can't counter Nintendo, so why not try to aim for something different?

Still should have price dropped the system.  But I'm betting they do it in the fall.  Probably $149 then $129 next year and $99 in a few years.

dark10x, does Apple dis DS? Does Nintendo dis PSP?

Why is Sony thinking that by using an campaign where some punk-ass kid is dissing iPhone (see the video)/ DS (kiddie games) will help? Help what? Sell more HW? Sell more SW (this punk will probably steal all those games in the end)?
Oh, I wasn't even talking about that ad campaign.  That's not smart at all.

Why is PSPGo not $150?

Why no PSP price drop?

I'll tell you why. Sony wants to ride on this price till the end. They know they are abandoning the HH market so why should they lose money on the PSP hardware?
They're either riding it out until they drop out of the handheld market or they're just riding it out until they can reveal a new PSP and push the old aside.  Who knows.

Do you WANT them to drop out?  Sure sounds like it.

Or maybe Sony, seeing the momentum of the PSP in Japan, realizes they can wait another year before releasing the successor to the PSP.

The keyword is release.

There is no PSP momentum in Japan,selling 25k per week is shit...it will go to 360 levels when 3DS launches

In this campaign, Sony attempts to jumpstart the PSP by appealing to the younger demographic.

Oh dear.

And they even had to drag the Kevin Butler character into it.

what's left for the PSP? 

Persona 3 Portable for the niche crowd...God Of War: Ghost of Sparta sometime next year...and....what else?   Monster Hunter 17:Nobody Gives A Fuck Edition? 

seems odd to start a new ad campaign when you only have 2 games coming out for your system.

XSeed Falcom localizations, Valkyria 2, Kingdom Hearts: BBS, Third Birthday, and Agito XIII (even though I don't know wtf happened to it)

This couldn't be further from the truth, and also serves as proof that you live in your own reality.

Microsoft is a multi-billion dollar company with a virtually limitless budget. MS could have their next three systems completely bomb and still have more money than the lifetime income of everyone on The Bore combined.

Sony is a poorly managed entertainment company that has been bleeding money since the PS3 came out. This isn't fanboy FUD, E3 2010 actually turned me back into a Nintendo fanboy, but the fact that Microsoft is richer than God can't be avoided.

I think they're still room for a PSP2 in the face of the 3DS.  Software sales is really the rub here.  They've plummeted in every region except Japan for original PSP.  I still think the PSP is awesome piece of hardware, probably Kutagari's most impressive product.  The system still sports decent visuals for its class 6 years into its product lifespan. 

I'm actually curious for both the next PlayStation and PSP since Kutagari was forced out.  His stuff was pretty cutting edge and I wonder what philosophy Sony will adopt going forward.
