Is time running out on the PlayStation Portable?

March 22, 2010 in Blog comments 15

GameZone's Louis Bedigian explores the rich history of Sony's PlayStation Portable along with discussing it's future and potential demise of the handheld.

If you’re wondering how Sony will tackle PSP development once its next handheld is released, look no further than the way the publisher handled its aging consoles. Unlike Wii and Xbox 360, which killed off their predecessors the day they were released, the arrival of PlayStation 3 didn't spell doom for PS2. To keep the old brand alive while paving the way for the future, Sony chose to release its primary sequels and start new franchises on PS3, but lowered the price of PS2 while pushing mainstream games like Buzz! and SingStar for the older console. Expect a similar strategy for PSP.

    I actually love my PSP. Love the games, love using it for PS1 classics. Think it's a much better platform then the DS.

    Give the PSP better Media capabilities and features and functions, and it's life will be extended by years. I bought my PSP slim for it's extra-gaming capabilities. However, it seems those features are becoming less and less unfortunately. I believe that is the MAIN reason I've yet to buy a PSPGo (that, and the price of course).

    Give it more capabilities, Sony. That will save the PSP line, I do believe.
