PSP loses to DS in November.

With this endless firmware idiocy I'll never worry about using a downgrader again.

Daxter alone is not going to make PSP's fly off of the shelves. Sony needs a good original line-up of games besides shit like Twisted Metal, Tiger Woods, SSX, Battlefront, and other games that look better on my PS2.(And I'm not going to buy a $250 PSP JUST for a new GTA) Based on Andy's thread on up and coming games we may get that, but until then I'll stick to my DS.

Sheesh, never said once either CC or Daxter alone would rescue them. I said Sony should have put more effort into the PSP this season with more games and the choice of a cheaper bundle.

If PSP can't at least provide a larger market base, it's going to have a very hard time maintaining publisher interest.

There's still money to be made there, and Sony has plenty of ties from the home console side so games will still keep coming. But you may see DS noticeably become the focus of publishers' portable development over the next year, unless PSP produces a breakout hit.

And people are trying to figure out why Nintendo isn't going overboard with the horsepower on the Revolution. Sounds like they are planning on capturing the same kind of developers, as those found on the DS. Smart move on thier part.

Indeed. If their game studios are stretched thin to dev for PS2 and PSP, imagine how much worse it'll be once PS3 hits 'em.

No, but I know a man who you can meet in the restroom at the mall who will.
