PSP Delayed Into 2005?

Posted by Zonk on from the hype-counter-hype dept.

Thanks to the numerous readers who alerted us to the Gamespot article mentioning that the PSP may be delayed until next year. This analysis comes from games industry analysts and is the result of Sony's game title weakness and battery issues. David Jenkins at Gamasutra has additional analysis as well.

    we have a winner. I predict the DS will clobber the PSP (if it ever comes out)

      Wow, a stupid troll, imagine that.

      You seem to be forgetting that many original games are in the make. You know, innovation? Just because Nintendo has a habbit of recycling games on the GBA, the only recycled games on the DS seem to be those already out for the GBA.

      Plus, the DS has WiFi, and some other proprietary wireless connection, and since when was the PSP a camera? Last I checked it was just an overly expensive batter whore that tries to do too many things at once. Besides graphics, crappy batter life, lack of sidetalking (or a phone period) and Sony, what is different between this and Ngage?

      Sorry, the Nintendo DS is going to kick ass, and it is at least half as costly as the PSP.

      While with the PSP, (which will use a 1.8gb optical disk), you can play games like Gran Turismo 4...Hmm, wonder what I will choose...

      You will have to choose between the electric plug of your room, or the electric plug of your living room, because with only 90 minutes of battery life, your psp may go dead in any moment of your gaming.

      Hey sony fanboy, give up. Nintendo designed the great product. Sony just put together some powerful hardware, praying that it would work.

    You forgot a few important Nintendo titles:

    Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Paint, Mr. Mario Dress-Up, Mario Party, Mario RPG, Mario FPS, Mario RTS, Mario D&D and last but not least, The Return of Mario.

  3. Sony Will Be Clobbered by The+Lost+Supertone · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sony will be clobbered, least I hope. That said Sony has tons of cash to throw at the thing, and I think they just might. Dang I hate video games ever since Sony got involved. That said I might get a DS to match my Power Book and iPod mini, and get some of those GBA games I was looking at. Depends on what sorta job I get over the summer.
