Man, I seriously think this is it for the psp2.
Seriously, and psp is my favorite handheld system ever.
How are they going to compete? They've lost their trump card and that being the fact that psp was technologically superior to the ds and included an analog stick for better controlling 3d games.
But now they're sitting here without an announced successor, while 3ds has already been given a tentative release date, shit loads of support right out the gate, with a 3d gimmick on top of it, and other means to combat apple.
3ds is the whole package.
And I highly doubt psp2 will be significantly more powerful than 3ds. Like a guy on gaf said, psp was a one time thing and sony can't afford to do the same trick twice. There's a REASON iphone and 3ds are just now catching up to psp. So this leaves psp's main advantage at the door with 3ds taking most of its support, including fucking Kojima.
Unless psp2 emphasizes on apps and media, I don't know how well they're going to go up against 3ds AND iphone/ipad.
Still, I'd really like psp2 (if it's even real) to succeed, because competition is good and 3ds is an example of that. I think the reason Nintendo is going all out with 3ds is because they feel threatened and WANT to keep their spot as top handheld dog.
