Do you think Sony PlayStation Portable is a failure?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 5 out of 43 in psp 4 years ago

I own 2 PSPs (one bricked/broken) but I must admit that I'm disappointed with Sony with the direction they are taking for the PSP. Some of the famous games which was announced during the launching of PSP, failed to materialize. One of them is GT Mobile from the Grand Turismo developer. God of Wars, Patapon and Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core are 3 very good games but other than that, there's not much good games to be mentioned here, especially in the past 12 months. The PSP scene has been a little bit quiet. True, Sony is trying to make it a "popular all in one mobile gadget" but is this really what most PSP buyers want?

What do you think? Do you think PSP is a failure? If yes, why so?

I have yet to wait for it to totally be phased out of popularity before I could more or less say that its either a success or a failure. I mean, comparing the recognition that the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 got when it was still all the hype.

So far, I only played a few games even when I have already got numerous titles available. As the hand held is named, 'portable' seems to provide that kind of entertainment which the word implies. Even Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for me got me a little disappointed.

Convenient, yeah like all other hand helds share when it comes to advantages.

For competitive gaming, it does bring out the joy in playing but, for individual gaming, it seems that home consoles still are better.

Still have to wait for something definite but, as of the moment, PSP is 'so-so' it seems..

Hmm that's why I do feel that NDS is actually more successful than PSP. :) FF7 Crisis Core is not that bad, in my opinion, though i would prefer to play like the original FF7. Competitive gaming is nice especially if you do that...in office. Hahhaa. I did that before, with my boss. :D

Ah well, hope the new games will be good - kingdom hearts 2, dissidia, etc.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 11 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

The games are all that matter as well as determine the hand held's popularity it seems.. yeah, the Final Fantasy VII rendered like that of Crisis Core.. up coming games should help on the hand held's popularity..

How I hope that PSP will have classic RPG games such as Dragon Quest =_= I've been waiting nearly forever for one good RPG to come to PSP. The only one I've played so far is Jeanne D'Arc. That's why I'm bit disappointed. Fighting games...tekken, and that's all. Nothing much as well. I think it can achieve more than the current level. Just that maybe the game is a bit too hard to develop :(

Or game producers aren't really inclined on making some of their games playable on Sony's PlayStation Portable, even revamped games should be possible but, as you have mentioned with Dragon Quest, that game hasn't been developed to be playable on the Portable.

Indeed, wouldn't it be more convenient that game developers would release some of their old populars to be playable once again, rendered in better game graphics? Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles for example is something like that but, I wasn't really of a fan.. probably the reason why game developers didn't take that step, gamers now-a-days simply don't just play games like they use to.. retro gaming is a bit a risky venture.. technology being progressive as it seems to be.. (^_^")



myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 5 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

I think there are some games who got 'enhanced' such as Dragon Quest. They came out with an improvised version of the old game for NDS.

As for PSP, FF tactics is actually an old game. But other than that....castlevania? I don't really like that as well.

Ah well, guess we have to wait for SONY to push their 'friends' into making games for the PSP.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 11 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

Yeah, they just have to convince game producers to make games playable for the their hand held or it would seem like another hand held that tried to compete with Nintendo's when it comes to popularity and gaming..


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 5 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

I just hope they won't give up all of a sudden and go for PSP 2. =_=" That will be very disappointing for all of us PSP supporters.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 11 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

They've already released PSP 3000.. I guess they still have plans on getting it more hyped or popular.. though nothing is really innovative with the PSP compared to Nintendo's DS, game control and game arsenal.. oh yeah, that PSP 3000 has a mic built in.. guess up coming games would get gamers to speak up while playing..?


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 5 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

I think they are trying to make it a multimedia device rather than a hardcore gaming device like Nintendo DS. But if they are trying to make it a multimedia device, they are actually competing with the likes of Apple IPhone.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 11 out of 43 in psp  4 years ago

Well, its still a different experience to be able to push buttons while playing than touching a screen with displays that would actually work out as buttons..
