Is the PSP dead?

[wildcardd]

Well this article seems to think so.

http://www.gwn.com/articles/article.php/id/747/p/1/

They have some vaild points, yet I don't think the handheld is dead quite yet.

Just thought I would stir up the PSP forums, as it seems to be rather quiet lately. Summer gaming drought I guess.

[dementia]

not dead. not dying either.

but it'll never overtake the DS, and remain a nice alternative, or even better, a nice supplement to DS.

[GoofsterStud]

Considering the fact that the latest E3 was the PSP best showing yet, and the fact that when asked between just the DS and PSP showing the PSP pulled out ahead by a big margin in that poll.

PSP showing was amazing. It has tons of great games for it. It's funny calling the second hotest selling system dead.

When you combine that and the line up coming out for it, the PSP has the greatest lineup of new games. Completely whipes the DS, just compare the summer for starters.

Things are changing.

Finally the PSP is become the game system, we were excited about. The focus is now on that.

Add the PSX emulation and you'll have a lot of people jumping ship. Retro market is huge, and PSX titles on the go will draw attention.

[Phoenix]

It is not dead. As a gaming system, it's more like comatose. Its other functions still get regular use with most people though.

[Viper]

Dead? Nah. UMD movies may be headed that way but the PSP will maintain a solid lifecycle.


and the fact that when asked between just the DS and PSP showing the PSP pulled out ahead by a big margin in that poll.
Drrr, what poll?

[Ivory_Soul]

My PSP isn't dead for sure. I'm using all the features all the time and it's just the summer gaming drought. I am kind of disappointed with the games though. The thing has been out for a year and a half and there are like 20 or so good games that are worth buying. Very disappointing indeed but the future looks bright!

[Fats]

Quickly, we need more hits! Let's make a really controversial piece of shit based on the PSP then!

Sad really, I think anyone will admit that the PSP isn't dead, nor is it dying.

[VG Aficionado]

Tekken: Dark Resurrection
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
GTA: Vice City Stories
Monster Hunter Portable 2
Ridge Racers 2
Ace Combat X
Killzone: Liberation
Metal Slug Anthology
Gangs Of London
Gran Turismo Mobile
LocoRoco
and many, many more (not counting a good amount of current AAA titles with a lot of life yet)...

Plus PS1 emulation, plus PS3 interaction, plus GPS, plus camera, plus talkman, plus online platform integration... Plus the fact that the shipments surpass those of DS in two of the three big markets, plus the fact that despite being priced double as high as DS it isn't selling half as many units, but much more than that...

PSP is far from dead yet. UMD movies is another story though; unless Sony opens up the format and lets other manufacturer create devices that can play movies too, they're going to die quite soon.

I still dont have a psp :cry2:

[.®]

I have 6 PSP games vs. about 40 PS2 games, I have not turned on my PS2 for months, I recently got Street Fighter Alpha Anthology telling myself i'll turn it on but you know what my buddy finally bout Alpha 3 MAX, so guess what Anthology is still in the plastic wrap. I used to live MGS3S online. But then i started to play Syphon Filter online and sitting outside on these hot days seems much more appealing. Point is every thing i did constantly on my PS2 my PSP handles easy. All i hope for is that downloaded PS1 games aren't too expensive like $5 a pop and that they mod them so the sound files arent as big. That way i can fill up my 2 gig mem stick with those lovely memories. Bring on the Einhänder, i loved that game.

Anyway dead my ass....

It's Aliveeee, It's Aliveeeeeeee!!!!!! :beer:

PSP is just warming up, Ladies and Gentlemen start your game engines.

[Jubal]

Sony's shipped about 17 million PSP's, I don't know the actual number of sales, but it can't be that far off, it's also the only handheld in recent memory to actually carve out a slice of nintendo's handheld pie market. For a first time effort it's doing pretty well, they've learnt a lot, and if they're smart they'll really leverage the product when the PS3 hits.

[dementia]

Sony's shipped about 17 million PSP's, I don't know the actual number of sales, but it can't be that far off.


Yes it can. Apparently of the 17 million sold to retailers, 9 million have been sold to consumers world wide.

[Coded-Dude]

Sony hasn't even release ONE SINGLE F*$%&#@ HARDWARE ACCESSORY YET! :rant:
Btu it is one of theri BEST selling systems ever. Dead, HELL NO! In a drought, slightly. But expect more people to pick it up once the hardware is there. I am rather disappointed it has taken Sony this long to "unlock" all its fetures, but I guess they do have a plan, and I still LOVE my PSP(it gets used at least once everyday).

Basically what Old_TImer! said. ;-]

[Viper]

Plus the fact that the shipments surpass those of DS in two of the three big markets
Not quite. Sony uses shipped figures and Nintendo releases actual sales figures so when you see the two figures, they aren't really comparable. NPD figures are as close to being comparable as they get in the US and the DS has a 400,000 lead in that regard. You don't want to know Japan numbers and indications say DS still leads in Europe too. Just clarifying.



PSP isn't even close to death nor will it be until the standard lifecycle runs out.

NPD figures are as close to being comparable as they get in the US and the DS has a 400,000 lead in that regard. You don't want to know Japan numbers and indications say DS still leads in Europe too. Just clarifying.Sure, but actually, the figures are even less comparable taking into account DS launched in every territory before PSP did. They launched at almost the same time in Japan and taking a look at hardware and game sales it's true to say DS is the most successful console in Japan at the moment. However, knowing that DS launched 4 months in advance in the US & Canada and 6 months in advance in Europe and Australia, I don't see it has an overwhelming advantage over PSP in terms of sales. Not to mention PSP is priced as double as much as DS. The price difference will be much tighter in the near future, PSP will get more and more titles and features and accesories and it will be interesting to see how the portable market evolves.

I still don't expect Sony to beat Nintendo in the portable market, but when looking at its sales, the media awareness and the upcoming games and features, there's no doubt PSP is here to stay, have at least one successor and pose a very decent and successful alternative to Nintendo portable gaming.

[OmniCloud]

Yeah..I'll give SOny props for successfully entering the handheld market-but right now, it's just more fun on the DS. It's a shame too-cuz the PSP has a lot more potential IMO...I keep seeing PSP titles on the list of quite a few comapanies tho so there's a lot to look forward to. And the e-distribution thing has the potential to be a real system sellar. SONY has to MARKET this feature however for it to have the impact it should. All they need is a commercial with some1 playing like 5 greatest hits games on the PSP to get it across. I hope both these systems continue to do well-but frankly I traded both my DS and PSP in. After the first month I didn't use either of them. I dunno-Lumines was fun and so was Wario Ware-I guess I'd just rather be at home playing PS2 games and soon PS3 games. Besides-I don't have any friends that i can play Alpha max with.

I'll probably pick a PSP up after the price drops again and Playstation games are downloadable. I never finished Chrono Cross and any excuse to play FFvll over again is reason enough to get a PSP.

[Jubal]

Yes it can. Apparently of the 17 million sold to retailers, 9 million have been sold to consumers world wide.

[Stands corrected]

[cliffbo]

naaaaaaa its just about to take its second breath...

[rpgamer_2k5]

Yes it can. Apparently of the 17 million sold to retailers, 9 million have been sold to consumers world wide. Holy crap! That means that there are 8 million system in retail. That means that Sony would not be manufacturing any more PSPs for a good amount of time unless 8 million end up flying by March. :|

Oh well, at least the DS is doing great. :)

[Added Later]
If there is such a huge demand deficit then we're going to need a price drop. The barebone version is sold at $229.99 CDN which is $70 ($159.99) more than the DS which is a highly competitive console with excellent titles. I think we need to see price drop by at least $40 to $189.99 CDN which would be $30 more but it may be able to spark sales.

[VG Aficionado]

Just where's the source for that 9 million units sold figure anyway?

[venomv]

That's what I am wondering...........

[Viper]

I just did a bit of calculating usign some known figures and some guestimates. How close to being accurate they are is unkown but this is what I got.

There are over 10,000 stores in the US carrying the PSP. That number can be doubled for worlwide PSP retail.

20,000 retail outlets.

Say they have 20 PSP units on hand at this moment each. That's only 400,000 units. Some play with the figures can drastically increase that to over 1,000,000 but nothing close to the 8 million supposedly between shipping and retailers.

If shipping had so over blown demand, we'd see a price reduction and statements by retailers as such. According to my game sales threads, the PSP is selling/shipping about 5k more per week this year than last but is down a little per month in the US compared to last year. This balance tells me that if there was that much disparity between shipping and selling, we'd know by now.

[rpgamer_2k5]

Exactly! There is no way in hell there could be an 8 million surplus. It's not like retailers get PSPs for free.

Customer: "Hey could you sell me the PSP for $159.99 like the DS?"

Retailer: "I'm sorry that's not possible."

Customer: "Lies you get it for free and I'm pretty sure Sony gives you Valkyrie Profile for free too."

o_O

Oh well, I think we got the point that the poster above was drawing information from his posterior. PSP isn't that behind, it's just facing a game deficit, imo. It needs more titles. *cough* Dragon Quest PSP...original and remakes, more Atlus, Nippon Ichi, Square-Enix, Idea Factory. *cough* ^_^

Games on my "must buy" list:
1. Valkyrie Profile - Square-Enix
2. Spectral Souls - Hit Maker [not associated with Hitmaker, from what I have heard] (Idea Factory)
3. Blade Dancer - Hitmaker ^_^ (NIS America)
4. Jeanne d'Arc - Level 5 (Sony)
5. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops - Konami
6. Landstalker ^_^ - Climax Entertainment

It would be nice if you can play games you already own on the PSP for free. I see no reason charging us money to play games that I already own. By owning the game one can even play the ROM variant legally on their PC.

[Kiwi]

The problem would be proving that you did own the game to get it for free.

[Rai]

how can u say its dead when it just scored a AAA by means of Tekken Dark Resurrection....Gamespot gave it a 9.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wildcardd]

Remember dont shoot the messenger. I only pointed to the link. ;) I love my psp...bought it on day 1 and since I travel a bunch, you might see me mashing away at the buttons at an airport.

[rpgamer_2k5]

The problem would be proving that you did own the game to get it for free. By using the unique Product ID. It should only be used once and could be transfered to another by giving him/her a certain activation code (which would 'disable' your game).

If that doesn't work then I'm pretty sure someone will get some crack allowing us to emulate PSX games. Remember it is legal if you own the title so I will definitely be safe.

The possibility of playing Persona 2 on a PSP is really getting me excited, especially when I'm in college all day long.

The DS is nowhere close to the amazing machine that is the PSP (lol thats some dramatic stuff right there :) ) One major support for the PSP is homebrew...dont know where to get homebrew? Ill give you a hint...check my sig.

Quite the matter of opinion there. Some poeple just liek playing great games. In that case, the PSP doesn't excel anymore than the DS excels over the PSP.

Homebrew is a big plus for the PSP and is great for those that have the time to get into it. I know many that have shrugged it off simply because they don't have the time, or simply don't want to put the effort into, to get into the home brew scene.

[Cake]

I really hope it doesn't die out anytime soon :(.

I bought mine when it was released and still have not bought a single game as none of them seem to interest me very much. Atleast it still serves as a very good portable movie player, and I still frequently use it to store movies to watch during my long travel's.

[Applefiend]

You guys are going to wind me up in the poor house. Not only is PSP not dead, far as I'm concerned it's got more games I want than any other system out right now.

But it seems time for PSP to get a price cut.

[Olz]

PSP is far from dead. I may be pushing my luck here, but couldn't you say, to some extent, going on what the article said that the GameCube is dead? Why haven't they made an article on that? It has never had many games coming out compared to the other two consoles, and it could never play DVDs (unless you count the Panasonic version). However almost every game that it does have is amazing. Games like Smash Bros, Resident Evil 4, Pikmin (now on other consoles) etc etc. Throught the GameCubes life things have been slow (in my opinion), but that hasn't stopped it being successful.

There is one thing that strikes me about that article:
Game World Network are obviously in need of some viewers and so in order to get some, they thought they would choose what they know in their minds is a new and popular console (the PSP) and make a controversial atricle about it. They then rely on one person spotting it, and realising how much rubbish it says, and them then posting up on forums and other websites as links. Lots of people read it and everone moves on. The only flaw with their plan (if there was one) is that people will now remember Game World Network as a website that creates silly articles.

What do you guys think?

[Pro A.]

Dead? Nope. They've had a solid 2006 so far with games like Daxter and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror. They're building themselves a nice little library that might attract some of the older gamers, but they have to keep up the pace. Will it beat the DS? Unlikely, especially since the handheld gamer tends to be a bit younger overall among the key demographic, and Nintendo controls that market, but this will be the best showing by a handheld against a Nintendo one thus far.

[wolverinesmaniac]

I'd say no, with games like Tekken:DR getting 9.2's from both major gaming websites and more great games on the way things are looking up.

[Viano]

playing games tekken on a handheld system, I thought it was a dream years ago.

it's still early but the PSP2 is going to rock so hard lOl

[Viper]

the GameCube is dead? Why haven't they made an article on that?
Where have you been the past several years? Every major media publication on the planet, damn near, has ran a story claiming the GC to be dead. I recall here every other week we'd have someone link a story with the headline ranging from nice, "Nintendo possibly calling it quits", to fanboy like with, "OMG, Nintendo is teh doom3d."

Trust me, until you guys start getting those kind of headlines on a consistant basis, don't fret.

[Olz]

Ok Viper, my mistake. Just shows how little I visit the Nintendo part of this site. However my point is still valid: despite (as you have confirmed) many sites publishing articles that would have you believe the GameCube is dead, it isn't.

[Viper]

Well, no new titles are being announced aside from some sports titles and a few multi-platform titles. There are still a few AA titles to be released this year though but for all intents and purposes, it's on life support. Granted when those articles were being written about the GC dying, it was far from it just like this PSP article.

[cliffbo]

once the PS3 hits and we get the PS1 games and more greatest hits come out, its business as usual... no worries as far as i'm concerned.

[Xerxes]

Syohon Filter, Daxter, and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth are games that would really want a person to buy a PSP. PSP is far from dead; it is still in its embryonic stage.

[Fats]

I'll admit that it's taking a fair while to actually get some great games out, but they're coming out none the less. I have a lot of games to choose from at the moment to keep me happy, but some future releases are going to be pant wetting stuff indeed.

Yes it can. Apparently of the 17 million sold to retailers, 9 million have been sold to consumers world wide.

So, why would Sony ship another 3 million PSP units since March 31st if there's already 8 million unsold units laying around at retail?

These are shipped units, not sold to retailer units. That's the difference.

[Coded-Dude]

So Sony has a warehouse or two filled with a few million psp's?

[Viper]

That's what people are speculating (yes, I know that's speculation only). I find nothign else to explain the incredible discrepency in Sony figures when comapred to Media Create and NPD.


By the way, you can tally the Media Create and NPD figures to get the 21 million DS sold that Nintendo just claimed.

PSP shipments were down 2% last quarter as well. I think Sony overproduced but doesn't want to admit it which in the nature of the video game industry, I don't blame them much for keeping it secret.

It also explains why software sales are much less than the DS. If they were at 19 and 21 million respectively, software should be similar but PSP only has 3 million sellers and DS has 13 (granted Japan has had a lot to do with that).

[Coded-Dude]

Or they may be stocking up for a Holiday Shopping price cut.

Just to get to the Topic about the PSP and how it has "progressed".
First i think its quite amazing that despite the price-level its on countinue to sell good.
Second the PS-emulator and connectivety with PS3 is going to be a "vitamine-injection" thats healthy. Esp Later in PS3/PSPs life-cycles.

Thanks, i looked a bit to find the charts for EU and/or Sweden only
but have not find anything.

[Lucent Beam]

I know the DS is a bigger deal in Japan so maybe the reason why LocoRoco didn't do well is because the target audience is attached to their DS, rather than a PSP.

I know the Location Free Player is already out, but I think that when the PS3 comes out and people realize that it's a Location Free Player hub, then more people will go and buy a PSP even just for that. I have no idea why other people aren't as excited about that as I am... maybe Sony isn't doing a good enough job of playing it up as a selling feature.

[GoofsterStud]

LocoRoco - Was I the only person that didn't see this as a mega hit, but a cult classic.

The games that will push sale for the psp are it's Final Fantasy, MGS, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (the reason the first did so well is because it couldn't be done on the ds), Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, Jeanne d'Arc, Devil May Cry Series, and PSX emulation.

If you really look at the list, exepct sales to pick up in North American and Europe, the release list really caters more torwards those demographics.

Once Final Fantasy and PSX emulation hit, expect the PSP to become the system of choice for Japanesse gamers on the go. Still it won't beat DS, but it'll be a significan boost from it's current position. After that new RPG's will be eaten up by the public.

[Viper]

I agree those titles will help the PSP quite a lot. I'm curious though, what made Monster Hunter Freedom not possible on DS (graphics aside)?

The PSx emulation may end up being the best game(s) on the PSP. What titles will be available at service launch?

[overclocked]

I think that when the PS3 comes out and people realize that it's a Location Free Player hub, then more people will go and buy a PSP even just for that. I have no idea why other people aren't as excited about that as I am...

Well im sure am! If you dont have wireless internet, buy a long ethernet cable plug it in a cheap 2 way-router one to the computer and one to the
PS3 and have the main HUB in the PS3 with the PSP as controller, well the way i was thinking of setting it up before i switch IT vendor. :)

When this hits mainstream i thinks its going to be a bigger major selling point, thinking ~99US PSP and ~299US 20GIG PS3.

I think the software and interface is great for PSP and while it matures and keeps progress(Along with PS3s) its going to be a great feature and service IMO. :cheers:
