take a ds, shove it where the sun dont shine on a psp, and you get:
the psp2, which will NOT incorporate the much anticipated PS2 reader function.

Oh my God Sony are such thieving scumbags, they just copied the iPad!
EDIT: Wait, sorry, I mean the HTC Desire!
EDIT2: Crap, I mean the Samsung Tokko Lite!
EDIT3: Damn it, I mean the Nintendo DS!

PSP2 Hits Next Fall With Dual Analog Sticks, Touch Pad and Bigger Screen [Update]
Link for those who, like me, hadn't heard anything about this.
To be fair their quite good at stealing stuff and improving it e.g wii and xbox 360 XD
I don't believe the speculation because 1) it's from Kotaku and they're a joke, and 2) I can't imagine anyone looking at a laptop touch pad mouse and thinking "Oh, this would be AWESOME for handheld gaming. Especially if we put it on the back!"
EDIT: Sony has a long history of taking other people's ideas and doubling them up. I wouldn't be surprised if it had two touch screens. :P
actually, ps move was a good thing if you ask me, now you get exersize and hd games, also, my sources are many, and wth is kotaku
ts
I would love a portable with ps2 abilities

So, the 3DS?Originally Posted by Zombified Cactuar
I think it would be wise for Sony to create a handheld that'll allow developers to create multiplatform games between it and the 3DS. A touchscreen kind of seems like a must.
I think it would be wise of sony to say screw the touch screen, and only worry about the games that don't need one to run, as those are almost always the only ones worth your time.
Why are people complaining about a potential touch screen. If it has dual analogs and all of the other buttons, so what? A touch screen will take nothing away. Most of the games I play on DS don't require the touch screen because good 3rd party devs only use it where it's useful.
That said, it could have uses and it's silly in an age where damned near every portable device has a touch screen to not have it available as an option for developers to use. If this causes 3rd party shovelware makers to exploit it... don't buy their game. There's plenty of that on the DS and I choose not to play it.
Also, stop playing the "they stole this from" game. It's bulls**t and you should know it. Would you prefer every company act like Apple and patent everything and keep it on lockdown only allowing hand selected applications and not letting anyone improve on their technology? This has been done with gaming before. It's been done with just gaming concepts. What if SE filed a patent for menu driven combat. Would that make it better world because no other RPG could use that function in addition to new ideas?
This worked wonders for the PSP didn't it? Obviously superior hardware to the DS, but the library is smaller. I love that handful that don't need it, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be an option.I think it would be wise of sony to say screw the touch screen, and only worry about the games that don't need one to run, as those are almost always the only ones worth your time.
This. Chinatown Wars looks great on the PSP. It would've been nice if the devs had had the option to leave the touch controls intact when porting. The fact that the PSP didn't have the option forces companies to not go multiplat on release... instead they have to choose. Obviously they will choose the platform with the bigger install base... the DS, even if they'd rather have the more capable hardware of the PSP.I think it would be wise for Sony to create a handheld that'll allow developers to create multiplatform games between it and the 3DS.

Development...
It's funny how Sony can leak everything before it's announce.
I'm sure everyone has seen the "PSP Phone" and I worry about the development process that might cut into the PSP2. It'd be nice if both were similar, but what if the PSP Phone is the PSP2.
It only makes sense as people should really only carry one device and this should really give Android a shot a gaming.
Palm webOS has better gaming than Android and that's just sad! I love webOS but considering the scale of webOS to Android, it's quite sad on Android.
They stole the touchscreen idea from the people who design software for orthodontic offices
I don't really care if they have a touch screen if they don't focus to much on it, but I have no faith in the Sony developement to do so. And the game thing didn't work because PSP doesn't really have many worthwhile titles by comparison, regardless of the superior hardware.
Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that it would basically leave the handheld market in a monopoly for Nintendo, I'd say Sony should just drop the PSP all together and focus more on what they do better, console gaming and other such products of theirs.
Regardless of anyone's opinions on the quality of the PSP library (I've personally enjoyed far more PSP games than I have even the best that the DS has to offer), let's not lose sight of the fact that it's still the only handheld to ever give Nintendo any serious competition. In fact, it's sold over 60 million. Granted, it's less than half of the sales of the DS, but to put it in perspective, it's about 20 million shy of the GBA sales, and the next closest competitor to Nintendo was the Game Gear with around 11 million.
I was going to make an analogy by comparing the idea that Sony should drop out of the handheld market based on sales to thinking Microsoft should have dropped out of the console market after the relative failure that was the Xbox, but that wouldn't even be a fair comparison considering the Xbox wasn't nearly as successful relative to it's top competitor as the PSP has been (24 million units sold compared to the PS2's 146 million). Again, the PSP did something pretty astounding by managing to hold it's own against Nintendo's 21+ years of handheld dominance. And hell, if a home console had sold as much as the PSP in the same time period it would be a rousing success compared to the 360 and PS3, and even the Wii to be frank.
Personally I look forward to seeing what they manage with a second kick at the can.
