PS2 vs PSP, which is more powerful?

I am talking about the PSP Slime and PS2 Slime. Which is has or will have better graphics and performance for games?clank120

the PS2 is slightly more powerfull, the graphics have fewer jaggies, also because the media on the PSP is bigger (DVD has 4.6 gigs while the UMD has 1.8 Gigs) you can expect more FMV´s and in game audio on the PS2

in terms of specs the psp is more powerfull...only reason they cant use the psp to full power is the battery would be killed fast

What? No.

Why would they bother cramming in more powerful (expensive) hardware if they wouldn't be able to use it. That makes zero sense.

The PS2 is CLEARLY the more powerful of the two.

Actually Stereointegrity is right. The PSP processor was underclocked to around 233mhz for most of its life. It technically has an approx 333mhz processor, basically the "emotion engine" in smaller form. They both share the same amount of system and video ram. Tech specs of the PSP. The reason why Sony chose to underclock the PSP rather than choose inferior components is because the PSP is basically a PS2 in portable form, it's the same technology and has the same economies of scale. It's cheaper to mass produce in-house Sony technology which already shares massive economies of scale.

The PSP slim also possesses more system RAM 64MB compared to the 32MB on the PS2, but because it's a new model it can never be fully utilised

The reason why games tend to look worse on the PSP than their PS2 counterparts is because of battery life. The PSP even when the processor was capped at 233mhz had poor battery life, now imagine if they had left the developers to use all the systems power, you'd be looking at some games with a sub-1hour battery life.

So 1.8 is bigger than 4.6 huh? o_o

Are the slime models green? dotWithShoes

LOL, my bad; PS2 slim
