[QUOTE="BuddaX"]Brain Age was a remake? Nintendogs was a remake? Club House games was a remake?  Phoenix Wright? Hotel Dusk? Sorry your wrong.

And games like NSMB, Castlevania, Advance Wars, ect, are not remakes but new entries in established franchises.
supersaiyan039

Lumines was a remake? Field Commander was a remake? Tokobot a remake? Loco Roco a remake? Metal Gear Acid Series a remake? Sorry but you can say the same thing for the PSP.

And games like Tekken: DR, Daxter, MGS:PO, Burnout, Syphon Filter, Wipeout Pure, SOCOM, GTA: LCS and VCS, Killzone Liberation, Ratchet and Clank, Ace Combat, etc, are not remakes but new entires in established franchises.

loco roco isnt a remake, and metal gear acid isnt a remake what are you talkin about.

you smokin weed or something? I'm just using BuddaX's argument and throwing it right back at him. I know those games aren't remakes, that's why I used them in my line of questioning. But just to set the record straight, Phoenix Wright is not a remake, it's a port. The series originated on the GBA.

PSP is the king of all shoddy ports plus the analog stick sucks, theres a difference between crappy looking 3D graphics of the PSP and really good looking 2D graphics of the DS with the occasional fun 3D game.

I suppose if they really wanted to spark a little interest they'd just hire out Dark_Alex to do firmware designing. That guy cranks out stuff in a week that takes Sony months, not including all of the additional features he's made himself.

PSP was never alive. It's a handheld made of ports, bad ones at that, and hand wrenchingly bad controls. Though the hacking and emulation community is alive and well.

PS: DA_B0MB ur sig is amazing

i agree. my friend was playing medal of honor and to aim left and right you used the square and circle buttons. the controls are awful

The PSP is selling really well, and it's a superb system. The DS and PSP are different animals: they can not be compared. They both offer different things. The PSP offers complete multimedia in one single device, whereas the DS focuses on a different style of gaming.

the DS is dead cause there are no good games coming out for it. pokemon's online is supposedly being hacked by noobs in Japan with action replay. DS will never have a good online because ppl use action replay all the time which is y i sold my DS Lite. PSP online games are great ( SOCOM, SFDM, M:UA, MGS:PO,RnC:SM, e.t.c.) because there are never ppl that hack the games (unless it is on SFDM but nowadays ppl dont cheat on it). To cut a long story short the DS is dead and the PSP is the future!

did you even read the article?

PSP is the first handheld to remotely stay up-float against Nintendo. The game-gear wasn't even close. The PSP has over 5 million users with a lot games still in development. I think it will be fine. Prince of Persia, god of war prequel, Crisis core:FF7, FF13, GRAW2, DMC:remake... the PSP will be alright in the upcoming year

So, compared to a totally lam ehandheld that failed miserably, the PSP didn't do too bad? Is that what you're saying?

you cant call something dead that is still selling. Only blind fanboys can see that the psp is dead. Hell if you want to see something dead, look at the XBOX and Gamecube. Those are officially dead since like 1 of 10000 people buy it nowadays

I worked at an EB in Australia for over a year. The DS outsold the PSP by at least 4 to 1. The only people who bought PSP's were teenage boys who wanted to play GTA. We sold DS's and DS games like hotcakes. The PSP games kept getting cheaper and cheaper, whereas DS such as Mario Kart DS are still full price. The DS prints money...

Really I don't hope it is dead, and it's still doing well. Competition will give the DS more quality games, seriously... I don't see why the PSP should die. Do I prefer it? No, and yet if it died, it would likely mean the quality of games we get on the DS could drop.

Has the lowly PSP sold more than the N-Gage? Does anyone have the numbers. Anyway, it makes a great paperweight.

Link. Retailers want it off the shelves, consumers have lost interest, and Sony knows it's time to do something.  The DS wiped the floor with the PSP.  To all the DS haters in the beginning I have one thing to say:

to me, the gba was a portable snes, so all those ports (SMA 1-4) FF's, Golden sun, metriods and what not held me over. DS was awesome in 05 and 06, my fav system, but after that it seems like ninty has used all it's big guns and has nothing really down the pipeline, except zelda. I'm hoping for another Kirby that goes back to canvas curse style, an online meteos, another NSMB, maybe a 2d metriod, etc.

PSP dead? 20+ million plus in 2 years doesn't seem like a dead machine to me. It's also obvious that Sony creates systems to have a long life cycle. IMO, the PSP will likely have a longer life cycle than the PS2 has, as how long will it take Nintendo to make a hand held that has the same graphical capabilities that the PSP has. All the PSP needs is a price drop and some new colors and the sales will get even better(it has the games). It won't pass the DS as the DS is doing amazing but the PSP will be a success.
