A few years back there was a plug and play thing with NES games (mario, contra, duck hunt to name a few) in a cheap looking packaging without any nintendo branding being sold on boardwalks and mall Kiosks in the states. That has to be the most blatant infringment I've ever seen.
So the reasons you like your PSP are the homebrewed content, a launch title, the web browser, and using it as a media player. While there is nothing wrong with those reasons and they support the main reason why we buy any of this stuff (personal enjoyment/necessity), I don't see them as compelling reasons to continue to produce a gaming machine. Sony pretty much gets money for the sale of the system and a two year old game, a sucessful system that does not make.
