Endless Paradigm

SankakuComplex Wrote:The detailed specification for the newly announced Nintendo 3DS has made clear the fact the the 3DS appears to surpass the PSP in every respect, particularly in the crucial areas of graphics and storage space, prompting some to proclaim the end of the PSP…

    Battery:
    Lithium ion battery, details TBA.

Many have commented to the effect that these specs completely surpass the PSP in every respect, even down to the 2GB game cards exceeding the 1.8GB capacity of the UMD, and with much faster loading likely. And this leaves aside the matter of the new “3D” screen Nintendo is employing…

The tendency for Nintendo consoles to play host to a less mature array of titles also appears to have been reversed, with several top franchises more usually associated with Sony and Microsoft appearing alongside the obligatory Mario and Zelda (apparently a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake) titles.

Sad that no PSP2 really announced at this point.  Would expect Sony to have a response to this...

I'm hoping the 3DS reignites my handheld flame. Since PSPs games started dwindling, and lack of m33 updates, I'd all but forgotten about my PSP. I can only hope the 3DS doesn't turn out to be too slight a difference to register.
