OMG!!!1111~
Here's the deal. Video game companies usually sell their machines for a loss, right. They figure, they'll recoup the cost by selling games. Microsoft does this. Sony does this. Nintendo, well, they don't really do this because they're shit doesn't cost much to manufacture, but you get the idea. So here's the thing. Sony is banking heavily on Blu Ray for the future of entertainment media. HD bluray disks are the thing of the future right. That's what they're telling everybody. And that bluray is going to play super movies and having bluray in ps3 is going to get them in every household and sony will make a fortune liscencing bluray technology. This is what they're banking the future of their company on. What does this have to do with anything you might ask. Because, sony is trying to deliver on too many platforms with too much shit. They expect people to buy bluray movies and then buy umd to take these movies on the road. They also expect everyone to adopt bluray within 2 years at the latest. So sony must put all it's resources behind bluray. I say, they are too far down the road. When ps3 launches, sony is going to say fuck the psp. It's losing, we can't support the media. We can't afford to take losses on umd sales when we need to focus on bluray. Nobody is adopting the umd because sony hasn't made it appealing enough for other companies to want to pay the liscensing to market it. Sony is fucked with umd. Hey, sony fucked up with minidisk too though, so no big deal, right. Nope. Because with minidisk, they didn't have to recoup nearly as much profit on sales as they needed with psp. Which also is a contributing figure to that goddamned price tag on ps3. Sony can't really afford to absorb the loss in revenues this. They have to generate profits immediatly. So they are going to forget about the psp and it's umd format and put everything on ps3 in the hopes that it can save the company. It's not the first time a more powerfull handheld machine has failed to take away nintendo's place. Sega, atari, neo geo and a boatload of other machines that nobody remembers have come and gone. PSP, no different. So now, how is Sony going to react if it's pricey bluray doesn't take off? Dunno. They've said themselves that the future is downloadable. Who needs hard storage when all you really need is the code and you can blast it over the net in less time than it takes to get to the store. Why the hell should anyone adopt a new media device that allready has it's days numbered? Nintendo is marketing to everyone. Microsoft is marketing to gamers. Sony is marketing millionaire playboys who have the latest and greatest of all technology. Who do you think is in a losing position here...?

I contribute the DS doing well and coming out with a boatload of quality games for all ages all the time to the PSP not doing that well or the PSP not doing well in the upcoming months than the PS3 coming to fruition.

The PS3 can't fuck over the PSP, because the DS has already done it.

Content is king. Nintendo knows how to make and market successfull portable gaming experiences with everything from nintendogs to brain age or whatever and new mario etc. I'm surprised people have given up on psp so soon though. But ps3 is still the thing that will put it out of it's misery. How did sony fuck up so big? And everyone has nintendo's wii pegged for failure against the allmighty ps3... ![]()

Thats not to mention all of the new tech in the PS3 which has to stick or it may be curtains for Sony as a console company in the western world. Credit to Microsoft for making a very smart plunge into the console market...

Im sure ive mentioned this before but a blue ray player is useless without the HD tv to play it on otherwise the quality will be no better than a normal dvd so not only do sony want you to fork over a mint for there system but to experience the benifit of your extra outlay for the blueray player included in the system you will have to upgrade your tv as well (for the millions that dont have HD yet).
