The PSP 2 will be such a mess

I hope this is not true:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things I dont want on the PSP 2:

-A Phone

-A Camera

-Gimmiky touch controls on the back

-Games that are download only, the PSP Go is a failure, precisely for this reason, and it's massive price.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things I do want on the PSP 2:

-Dual Analogue Sticks

-BACKWARDS COMPATABILITY

-Nice, smooth graphics, but they don't need to be thatgood, The DS has outsold the PSP by miles, and it has awful graphics.

-Priced to compete with the 3DS, no ones gonna buy it if it costs £500

-Refined UMD drive

-Better shoulder buttons

-Keep the XMB interface, its neat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my opinion, respond with a +1 if you agree with me

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Except for this is not the PSP2 if you ask me ! btw I recently bought the X10 close to nearly 450£ and if this truly is Sonys next PSP gen then watch me buy it ;O) ...

Why would you want Sony Computer Entertainment's next handheld to be disc-based? It would just mean it would eat up batteries and you would spend most of the time waiting for games to load. All-download games could certainly work if it uses a faster wi-fi module.

None of this looks true. For one, why would they go down the graphical route again when it's already proven not to equal market share?

You do have some good points. But I think that why the DS has sold far more systems is because it is family friendly. I mean, if you were going to buy a 5 year old a portable gameing system, and he's not allowed to play anything but Everyone games, would you choose the PSP? Probably not.

Fair point, so thats perhaps what sony need to be aiming at for their next PSP console, a piece of hardware that is innovative, new and exciting, but is still accessible to people of all ages, with more games aimed at the younger market.

i hope thats not true either because those guys at 3xG are HUGE *blankity-blank blank* and should *blank blank* their mothers

To be successful, sony needs to open up the PSP to custom games and apps. Yes, I'm talking about homebrew. Right now you have to hack your psp just to run some custom games. Everyone should be able to play these and make these, not just hackers.

Just look at how successful the iphone is with its whole app system. Anyone can create an app, it's awesome.

Enough with the hardware.............where are the freaking games?

Yesterday while shopping at Target,stopped in the game section.Purchased Liberty City:China Town Wars because it was on sale for $19.99
I was going to get Assassin's Creed for the PSP but went with Grand Theft.I haven't brought a PSP game in awhile......games please?

My only problem with my psp is "it doesn't have dual analog sticks."

TBH, I'm fine with the current design of PSP also, but if sony are planning to release a PSP 2, I just hope they keep it a 'pure' gaming system, rather than adding phones, cameras, toasters etc...

exactly, you have to have cfw just to play homebrew games plus apps. they should just make an app store like apple. monitor the apps that come in (no exploits work arounds included in the app) and release it to the public..this alone, pisses me off with sony

and for whatever reason the whole quote thing blocked ur name out :[

Your absolutely right.

Touch controls have the potential to open the system up to genres that otherwise wouldn't work well with buttons and analog sticks alone. So I disagree with you on that point.

Things I dont want on the PSP 2:

-A Phone Agreed.

-A Camera Disagree. I'd rather have a built-in camera on the PSP than having to buy a camera thing that sits on top of the handheld.

-Gimmiky touch controls on the back Touch controls on the back? What's that supposed to mean?

-Games that are download only, the PSP Go is a failure, precisely for this reason, and it's massive price. Haters gotta hate :P

Things I do want on the PSP 2:

-Dual Analogue Sticks Agree

-BACKWARDS COMPATABILITY Agree

-Nice, smooth graphics, but they don't need to be thatgood, The DS has outsold the PSP by miles, and it has awful graphics. Oh please, the 3DS is just as powerful as the PS2 now in terms of graphics, so can't the next PSP get something better than PS2 graphics but not as good as the PS3's?

-Priced to compete with the 3DS, no ones gonna buy it if it costs And what's that price equal to in dollars? :P

-Refined UMD drive Oh God no, UMDs are awful pieces of **** that eats way too much battery power.

-Better shoulder buttons Agree

-Keep the XMB interface, its neat. Nah, I'd rather have the PS3's improved XMB interface on the PSP

Thats fine, everyones entitled to their opinion

There have been several rumors that the next PSP will feature some kind of touch controls, maybe in the form of a trackpad on the back of the device, like the motorola backflip. I was voicing my opinion that this would be unnecessary and annoying to use in most types of video game.

Why do people keep suggesting 3D? The one thing that makes me like Sony better if that they don't copy everything that Nintendo does. Not that I think they will introduce 3D, but with so many people suggesting it, I'm afraid they'll seriously consider it.

Granpire

Because 3D works really well, and i dont concider 3D as something that is from nintendo, its just as a color screen. Does this mean if you apply a screen with colors to a handheld, that you are copying the one that did it before. not in my opinion. I rather do see 3D, because it adds ALOT towards the games / movies.thehunter1900

No, they don't want to market to a younger audience - that's what the DS is for.

Not keen on seeing titles the likes of spastic plumbers and pokemon on PSP..

The psp 2 should be backwards compatible. Instead of using a disk based media it should use memory sticks or micro SDs.
