PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced

zmcnulty writes "The day has finally come: Over at TechJapan, we've got a translation of a Japanese BB Watch article stating that Sony has announced the Playstation Portable will cost 20,790 yen (about $195 USD) and is to be released on December 12th. Also, the battery life is quoted as being 4 to 6 hours. Not exactly what I'd call fantastic, but at this price, looks like Nintendo is in for some serious competition. Free your doubts about software too, as Sony has announced 21 titles will be released in December as well. Here's the official Japanese PDF press release regarding the PSP's release."

DS will win

[wobedraggled]

DS has the advantage of NINTENDO, which makes nothing but great software. Also, the DS has the innovation of the two screens, touch screen, voice activation and killer 3rd party support. Sony has the disadvantage of selling a unit at a loss, which means the hardware will suck as is the case with the ps2 and before that the original playstation.
