PSP Success and Battery Life Questioned Again

[Six]

This is a more fundamental problem that rears its head from the second you open the box and never goes away. Sony left the PDA market because they had a similar issue there and people refused to buy their products because of it.

I thought they dumped the US market because of slow sales due to typical Sony shit - awesome yet expensive and not totally reliable products with proprietary hardware and ridiculously expensive accessories that should have been included with the product in the first place. Oh and PalmOne was kicking their ass. Hard. And I love my Sony NX60 to DEATH! In fact, I just suckered myself into spending yet more money on the damn thing in order to "keep the investment" I've already made into MS media, accessories, etc.

I don't think that anything will stop the PSP. Unless Microsoft releases an XboxMini or something.

Psst... Sony is broad "brand", it's not like every Sony product is made and designed in the same boardroom and factory. Your Sony Radio could be manufacured in a Philipino Free Trade Zone, while your PlayStation could be made in a dedicated Sony Factory in Japan.

That's one of the only things about globalisation that sucks penis.

AM worried that if the PSP becomes the leadert in the handheld market compeitors will build their handheld with the same kind of "If it broke.oh well" approach that Sony has taken.

I remeber a poll on a gaming site where it stated 60% of PS2 break or need to be repaired. Sadly these was 2 years ago and I have completely forgotten the site name.

Was it www.amfullofshite.com?

Compared to Nintendo's approach of rapidly releasing a new handheld before the old one even has a chance to break?

No one said you had to buy the SP so stop complaining about them releasing it.

Actually, Satoru Iwata came over to my house carrying a sack of doorknobs, and said that if I didn't buy it he would beat me to death.

Am sure it has more to do with "We will not release a new version of the GBA with a lit screen, so you should just deal with it", which turned into 'GBA SP Announced, has Lit Screen" about 4 months later.

Am sure that means nothing to you since Nintendo does not speak any non-truths and shits petals of silk, but am sure you understand.

Am sure you know you sound hypocritical complaining about PSP when no one am forcing you to buy one.

Am.

The consumer market seems to eat up more frequent handheld revisions, that's why Nintendo does it. No doubt we'll be seeing new models of both PSP and DS with better features within 2 years.

Actually, that is more the result of:

-Monopoly
-Lack of choice
-Because they can
