The PSP Comeback
Next Generation has a great article documenting the PSP’s reversal of fortune and how it’s now doing well on the strength of it’s hardware updates and the new exclusive titles that are coming out.
I bought my PSP on launch day and have always been a big fan of it. I think it’s got some good games that I’ve enjoyed a lot, and given it’s screen size and quality, it does a great job as a video player. My only gripe is the lack of a second analog stick which would have opened the door for some quality PS2 ports, and at this point, I’ve given up trying to play first person shooters on the platform. Many people don’t like the idea of playing FPS’s on a handheld, but I’d play them all the time on a handheld if the controls were there.
It’s an under-rated handheld if you ask me, and while I prefer my DS for some things like puzzle style games, I prefer the PSP for it’s more powerful graphics and it’s ability to do other things besides gaming.
