OB1: But why would a Sony representative downplay the battery life of their own handheld? With just about all the battery-powered electronics I've bought, the actual battery life has been LOWER than what the company promised. Companies will usually put whatever spin they can on their product to make it sound better than it is to help it sell.
Sony should already realize this shortcoming, and furthermore realize that streaming games are unfeasible on the PSP and not highlight of battery life of such games. And, as Smoke pointed out, Kutaragi stated "The place I'm imagining for use of the system is the home. People don't play games while walking around." Why would a Sony rep even use that kind of rhetoric, unless they were trying take focus away from a poor battery life?
