Why the lack of a 2nd thumbstick?

I dont understand why the lack of effort to get the 2nd thumbstick on. It may be too big and anti ergonomic but im sure it can be done. Had they done that, remote play would be capable on every (or most) of the games. Speaking of which there is no trigger buttons are there? r1,r2/l1,l2?

I still plan on getting one but i wonder how soon another psp, maybe the psp2, with the 2nd stick, will be released.

Since the PSP Go was just released, it will probably be a while before the PSP2. And yes, it's been requested since the the PSP 1000 that another thumb stick should be added to the PSP2(I can't imagine them not adding it). I haven't seen any huge need for the second set of shoulder buttons, but it couldn't hurt I suppose.

Well no, you won't be seeing a 2nd thumstick anytime soon. There would be absolutely no support for it in the games already released. Therefore no point in adding one.

Theres no use of it!

Theres no "yeah but" :P

Its like adding random buttons on your labtop keyboard JUST for the heck of it when they have no use. Why spend the money and time into finding a way to fit it in when there like not even gonna be used. I mean they CAN add it just so it looks nicer and like the PS2 and 3 controller but so far the games dont need them and are fine as they are.

Well while many want it, and it could be usefull. There are 2 possible reasons:

1. No past games have the support for it. While you can have future games support it, there really isn't a use for it currently.

2. Well Sony is most likely waiting for the PSP 2. Now I know it is an overused excuse but it would make sense on thier part. See they want to do the 10 year or so plan with the psp and even without adding the 2nd thumbstick they are selling PSPs. The new models still sell. They could keep it off and even with the critism, they still sell.

I personally don't have a problem with the 1 current thumbstick but can see an upside with having an extra one.

They didn't add it to the 2000 or 3000 because they play the same games! I'd be kinda weird having a 2nd stick if you play the same game on one PSP, but not on the other.

All right, as far as I'm concerned it wouldn't be such a problem adding the extra stick. The psx' first controllers didn't have any sticks, then they released the first dual shock sometime during the psx' lifecycle. So they went from none to having two, right? I don't see the problem with upgrading the psp go with the second stick, therefore giving the system that option for future games.

Since the PSP Go was just released, it will probably be a while before the PSP2. And yes, it's been requested since the the PSP 1000 that another thumb stick should be added to the PSP2(I can't imagine them not adding it).
