Dude, this is sony's answer to 3ds. THIS.

The only thing missing from that list of dislikes is, "the third dimension".

and that's why he owns a psp!

[Great Rumbler]

Sony's basically just given up at this point, I think.

[Himu]

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.

[Mr. Gundam]

Did Sony just make the PSP the video game equivalent of Sprite?

[Himu]

It already was the video game equivalent of sprite.

PS3 is as well.

I told you guys this before; BLACK PEOPLE LOVE PLAYSTATION.

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?

[Bebpo]

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.

No, black people like whatever is the best. Most people I know have moved on to the 360. Only the Sony fanboys own a PS3 exclusively.

Edit: Sony fanboys and people who got burned by/ wanna avoid RROD.

borys youre just mad that hes a black person, dont lie

Man every black friend or acquaintance i have except one ore two have ps3's exclusively it's amazing. And most if not all have had psp's at one point or another.

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.

No, black people like whatever is the best.

I like that statement.

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.

[dark1x]

I want a PSPGo but not for that price.

If I could install CFW, it would be worth that price. 

[Eel O'Brian]

this seems like exactly the kind of marketing campaign a middle-aged white man would dream up

[TripleA]

Sony's basically just given up at this point, I think.

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
Game over.

[Enl]

PSP still has Monster Hunter 3 Freedom in Japan.

Ah but 3DS will have Monster Hunter 3D Freedom following shorly after.  

[Bebpo]

For a system that they're trying to bank on marketing to black people, I can't think of a single PSP exclusive that features a black main character.  wtf.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I think if you're taking this seriously you're missing the point.

[Yeti]

[originalz]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.  PSP is mad hood, yo!  It might have actually been pretty funny if this wasn't a desperate viral marketing campaign.  It won't beat out that stupid Christmas viral thing they tried to do!

[pilonv1]

Umm isn't there a free version of Paper Toss anyway?

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

Oh dear.

[youtube=560,345]9IOt19iOED0[/youtube]

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

[youtube=560,345]mOGcRvUvj3U[/youtube]

I give Marcus 60 days until he is retconned out of Sony marketing lore.

Deja vu!

[Don Flamenco]

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.

lol @ taking potshots at the iphone.

I LOVE THA BIG SCREEEEEEEEEN

SO FRESH AND SO CLEEEEEAN

The PSP lineup was damn sad at E3. Like, 4 kiosks and nobody was playing them.

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

Actually has a pretty nice lineup.

Next they'll use Aunt Jemina to talk sass about the DS to the elderly demographic

[Sho Nuff]

Oops don't know how I missed the other thread. Sorry about that.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Except Microsoft is more near death than Sony will and ever be.


This advertising campaign is amazing and already people are buying more PSPs.

It's too bad special fellow heads like you xbots can't appreciate a great advertising campaign unless it has tits and guns.

[bork]

I still love how these MarcusPSP ads primarily show off the PSP 3000 and almost ignore the PSP Go.   

Oops don't know how I missed the other thread. Sorry about that.

That's all right.  This thread is better, but I merged the two threads since this forum doesn't have the power to contain TWO MarcusPSP threads.

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.

[naff]

Except Microsoft is more near death than Sony will and ever be.

Can we leper this filth already?

Global 2000 lists MS with 58 billion sales with 16 billion profit ranked 49th, Sony comes in somewhere in the 400s with 70 billion in sales and negative 1.08 billion profit, somethings wrong with those numbers.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

u cant leper the lepered


u cant get rid of one of the first icons

meth 4 lyfe

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I regret just posting that please pretend it never posted.

[Phoenix Dark]

I don't know any black people who like Sony anymore. At this point even Red Lobster coupons couldn't get black people away from the 360

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I like Sony. All my brothers and sisters like Sony. 

[Raban]

Was Methodis really an icon once?

[Smooth Groove]

Come off it, Methodis.  A low IQ doesn't make you black. 

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Well, I AM demi's cousin.

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.

[Purple Filth]

The campaign has started and it isn't so bad imo(not yet anyways)

The advice near the end and the subsequent reaction was 

Interested to see how this goes.

[Sho Nuff]

Yo Marcus is back and he is beginning his all-out assault on the shitty iPhone!

I love how the PSP Minis are ports of iPhone games at 2-3x the price

[pilonv1]

But they're on PSP so they must be better
