    PSP was not meant to be yet another incremental update to the gameboy line. It's a huge advancement in handheld gaming. It's supposed to be what the GBA WAS NOT. To give handhelds the ability to much more than simple sidescrolling knockoffs

    Constrast the PSP situation with the DS where Nintendo told developers they could continue to produce simple 2D games but Nintendo wanted developers to take advantage of both screens; this means that developers where given the choice whether to increase their costs or not. Um, developers have the same choice (to make simple 2d games on PSP), I for one own a couple simple 2d PSP games

    On THIS planet, PSP games cost LESS than console counterparts

    Homebrew- a big sales point that drew people to the PSP

    Is used by a vast minority, not majority. And you can't expect Sony to stand idly by when UMD games can be pirated.

    The movies they release on UMD

    You're first non-lie

    Sony hasn't released the UMD burner they promised

    They never promised that, they in fact promised they never would give that. They don't even let developers burn their own games

    Sony has pretty much shown that it cares less about its users than it does about its phobia of piracy

    Same for MS and Nintendo. Nintendo sues flash card makers, and the first firmware update for DS Online games wiped the firmware of some homebrew users.

    never claimed homebrew and movie capabilities as a selling point on the DS

    Play yan.

    Now these co-workers also see other games such as Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, Metroid, and Mario kart, that they can play via Wi-Fi or short range ad hoc

    Funny, when my co-workers saw me playing a portable GTA that looked just as good as the PS2 ones they were fricken amazed, got many to buy their own and multiplay with me.

    I'm not saying PSP is better, just that you're horribly wrong in how bad you think it is

    Okay, yes, I was using some hyperbole there

    I'm glad you can admit that

    The slower processor on the Rev will not mean inferior AI, it will only mean it can handle fewer AI at a time

    It'll have to balance the two. But yes, I'm glad you can admit Rev will be at a disadvantage for more than just graphics

    To be affective, it has to constantly up date location in 3D space, degree of rotation, linear velocity, angular velocity, linear acceleartion and angular acceleration. This is more physics in the controller alone than most games have in the entirety of their gameplay

    No, just no. That's completely wrong. Games handle the same math, only handling hundreds of objects at the same time. The rev controller is handling no more math than a dual analog controller

    Rev is going to have as much, if not more CPU cache than the GC. So it will still have potentially better AI than either the 360 or PS3.

    That's wrong too. Especially since all 3 consoles use power PC based processors

    Do you actually know how much processor time physics calculations take up?

    Most of it all that processor time is actually spent on processing the resulting affects on the game's graphical assets

    No, the graphics hardware specifically does that, not the CPU. The CPU handles AI and physics

    How is the Revolution a +0.5 console when it actually does something different than the GameCube, while the PS3 and 360 are brand new devices when they offer nothing more than better graphics than their predecessors?

    you do know processing power lets developers do more too right? Like better AI and physics? You know, parts of gameplay. There has already been PS3 developer interviews for LAUNCH titles where they say their game couldn't be done on previous consoles. Anyone who thinks it's just better graphics knows absolutely nothing about game development, or at least, too little for their opinion to matter.

    Shooters have rarely been about innovation

    No, shooters have always been about innovation. It's rare to have one not touting some new featureset. With so many FPSs out there, the designers strive/fight tooth and nail to come up with reasons to set themselves apart from the crowd. And when we get the rare one with no innovation, it's touted as being old school to sell off that.

    The thing didn't have any awkward buttons.

    Dpad - too tiny
    Analog Stick - Didn't allow youto click in lick XBOX/DualShock, the surface wasn't as gripfriendly
    C stick - Sucked. At the very least, it should've been the same as the other stick
    Z button - While fine, it needed one on the other side
    L and R buttons - The click is nice, but the lip at the top makes it hard to press Z and a shoulder at the same time. That should've beenr emoved
    Y and X buttons - Should've been normal circular buttons
    A button - Too big
    B button - Perfect
    The SNES style concave/convex diamond button arrangement was perfect
    Start button - While perfect, a select button would've been nice
    Controller itself - designed for smaller hands.
