So after saying they aren't after the iPhone and the PSP's market share they basically said that they want you to need it (over other devices that do the same thing) for your daily life.



Maybe I'm jumping to the wrong conclusion, but it certainly sounds like the same sort of marketing lingo you hear when they deny a new console in the works and such.

when the wii came out(which I owned) they said they didn't add a DVD drive because their consoles were for the sole purpose of gaming. I would buy DSi as long as they admit the're in it for the money and to challenge apple and sony because the customer wanten more from their console(I will most likely still perfer my PSP to a DS)

I didn't mention this in the last post, but if the DSi is the item that Iwata is holding in his hand, then that thing is a *****ing beast. Forget about what I said about the screen being smaller. The majority of people wouldn't want to have to carry that around just to listen to music or watch a movie when waiting to do something.

I know it's not a DS. I own a DS.



He's held the Wii up the exact same way and it's just a solid black box is what it looks like to me, so my first assumption was it's the DSi.



I don't know if the DSi redesign looks the same or entirely different. I haven't seen a picture of it yet.

So there are rumours of Sony adding a touchscreen to the PSP, they've already "copied" motion controls from Nintendo. So now Nintendo add an SD card port and they're copying Sony?



Firstly Sony didn't have the foresight to add an SD port - it's a proprietary memory card that costs up to 4x as much as SD for the same capacity (UK prices, check planetmicro or Google).

And I for one care not for the multimedia features. I've got a 32gb iPod Touch. The pinnacle of easy to use and brilliant tech multimedia players, a capacity that Sony don't have a memory card for yet. Why would I look anywhere else to watch a video or view my photos? All these multimedia things are crap compared. PSP can't display DivX or DRM video, it doesn't support smart playlists or meta data on photos... And I guess neither can the DSi.



I'm guessing there aren't many people from Japan here because it's obvious what they're going after - the mobile phone market, minus the phone. They want people to use their web browser over their phones.



I don't know what I'm writing now.

1) You're fanboyish enough to believe Nintendo invented motion sensing. The Atari Le Stick had it over a decade ago. PSP was supposed to get it at launch with Mercury (but it was deemed too expensive). PS2 had it in the Onimusha Soul Katana and Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw. PC had it with Microsoft's Sidewinder. PS1 had it in some third party controller. N64 had it with a device that plugged into the controller and acted as an analog stick. PS2/XBOX had the exact same infrared pointing technology in the LCD TopGun.



2) You were stupid enough to believe the rumor about PSP getting a touchscreen. It's not. End of story



3) PS3 has an SD slot. And the point about adding an SD slot+copying Sony is cause it's no different than adding a memory stick. And the reason Sony used Memory Stick instead of SD is cause Memory stick is many times faster (well, it was back at the time PSP came out, not sure now. But Wii's SD slot is horribly slow)



4) There are SD to memory stick adapters. Don't complain about price when you were too lazy to do actual research. You can get get up to 64 GB on PSP with one adapter now.



5) PSP can do divx if you get it hacked and download a media player. And DRM video is always device specific. No portable device ever supports a correct amount of codecs, they always need converting. There are simply too many for developers to support. I doubt any support MKV.

i completly agree with you techni, i hate all these nintendo fanboys saying sony "copy" even though all these things have already been used before. oh and about the psp-3000, the reason it isnt much differnce copared to the psp slim, well thats because they CANT ADD MORE to such a amazing gadget. do you think sony can put a built in camera in the psp... no beacuse they cant at the moment. the psp is full of stufff and i think a microphone and a brighter screen is just what i wanted for the new psp. people expect too much from new psp's and when they dont get what they want they start insulting sony and moan. and one last thing is that your forgetting firmware updates, the new psp will take advantage of the new features it has with updates.

Hippocrates was an ancient dude doing philosophy stuff. I bet you mean "hypocrites."

I believe that the PSP would still have better capabilities. First of all, DSi can only take an SD card 2GB or less, and the PSP is almost infinite (8GB and 16GB out now, but higher amounts are possible. DAX speculated the possibility of many Terabytes). Although PSP doesn't have a camera attached, you can buy a 1MP camera for it, whereas DSi has only two 0.3MP cameras. Hardware-wise, the DSi is still pretty outdated, though. I applaud Nintendo for the new features that were necessary, but "all-in-all, it's just another brick in the wall".

You guys are now offically losers. What a waste of an arguement. I came for a psp update not to listen to some nerds ***** over a piece of cheap japanese metal.

Wii doesn't have DVD because Nintendo didn't want to pay royalties to DVD's creators (one of which is Sony).
