[quote name='rickonker']I think you're on to something here. The way MS did this is to target people whose needs weren't satisfied by the PS2...great graphics, great online gaming, and PC style games.
The PSP does a lot of things the DS can't, but Sony hasn't been able to get as much of a following as the Xbox.
I think Sony's only real chance is for the PSP to be the same price as the DS. This is how MS fought the PS2, and it's what Sony will have to do to fight the DS, even if they lose money and the PSP is already more powerful.[/QUOTE]
I mean, you're right, PSP can do alot of things game wise that the DS can't do. Sony needs to play on these strengths, stop running stupid ad campaigns, and showing that even though PSP is number 2 it STILL has some good games and is well worth the purchase.
I mean, no commercials at all for Metal Gear Portable Ops? What the
? I will commend them on the tons of VCS and Killzone commercials, but the PSP's biggest game this Winter gets no commercials whatsoever? Instead we get these retarded commercials all about the PSP's media features... WHO CARES.
Build a decent brand, pimp out your hot games, create some sort of stable backbone that you can springboard the PSP 2 off of and, if Sony corrects the problems from this launch, can start off with a huge head start.
Sony hasn't been the underdog in so long they have no
ing clue what to do, and it shows, since they are doing the same things they always do BUT IT DOSEN'T WORK WHEN YOU'RE NUMBER 2.
Sony needs to let people know "Hey, you know, we're number 2, but we're just as fun as the DS Lite and we also have alot of kick ass games!".
I really like my PSP, I know it dosen't have a chanced of being #1, but I'd love for Sony to use this to do some awesome shit with the (hopefully) PSP 2. You have to give props to Sony for sticking with it for this long.
