Quote:So you're wondering if gamers will want to play games as good as their home console ones? I certainly don't think that will be a problem. If RPGs and deep strategy/war games can sell well on the GBA, I'm sure that Final Fantasy and Metal Gear will as well.
That's not quite what I mean. What I'm saying is that it's possible that the PSP will become a dumping ground for PS2 ports no matter what Sony wants and a lot of games [namely third party games and sports games] that'll be very similar between the PS2 and PSP versions. Will people really want a handheld, no matter how powerful, that's pretty much the same as the console, and games, that they already have? Yeah, it's going to have new games, but it'll need a lot. Sony's got to push hard to get companies to get companies to take risks on developing high-cost games that might potentially not make as much money. Still, they've got a good price-point and then there's the graphics [if they use that power for more than just ports]. 4 months. That's how close it is.
