3DS buffet

[A Black Falcon]

As for the PSP, well, it was the PSP. There's a reason it couldn't keep up with the DS. I waited until a price drop, which came pretty fast. Now the thing's a much more affordable $150, except for the PSPGo.

$150 for a six year old handheld system which hasn't had a pricedrop in years is affordable, now? I don't think so. Sony has obviously decided to just leave it at its current price even though it's completely fallen apart outside of Japan, but that doesn't meant that the current price makes sense, it doesn't.

As for the PSP2, those rumors are coming from developers who Sony directly told would have a system as powerful as the PS3. Sony often blusters about that sort of thing, but still, it could be a big deal.

True, you're right that Sony always over-states system power. Still, it'll surely be very powerful, and that means likely a short battery life.

With the 3DS for instance even though "3-5 hours" is the battery life estimate, evidently turning off the 3D and wi-fi (with the slider and switch on the case) will have a significant impact on battery life, it's much better with them off. With the PSP2... yeah we'll see.

Trust this, just about every company that bothers with power supplies at all are R&Ding up some sort of amazing new battery tech. There's a race, especially with modern devices being as power hungry as they are, to come up with SOMETHING because whoever does it first will be raking in billions. However, physics ya know? How does it work?

True, but there hasn't been much success yet...
