I'm glad waxy is back so I can go on vacation ;)
The PSP has traveled the spectrum of being hailed as the greatest piece of hardware since the introduction of the original PlayStation to being treated like a Goodwill store where developers drop off bare-bones ports and shoddy, old games. Since the release of the PSP on March 24, 2005, to the time of this writing, there have been approximately 30 games released, 17 of which were released during the launch window. Around 10 or so of the games available could be considered ports of PlayStation 2 games, which is about one-third of the entire PSP library. And if you work out the math with the number of games released since the launch period, it comes out to less than one PSP game release per week—.76 games to be exact.
Yea, I hear you. I can only tell you I'm making a truely awesome PSP only game. It should be announced at TGS or soon after. Yea, it's only one game, I can only do so much but it is a PSP only game, not a port, and it's super original (not yet another clone of some other game). So, don't sell your PSP until after you've bought my game because you're going to want to play it :-)
PSP looked cool at first - it's elegantly designed, at least - but it's limited and too expensive. If you could watch non-Sony-format films, or if it had some compelling wireless connectivity (maybe integrated EV-DO or WiBRO iMode or whatever) and some trivial communications capability it would be better - but as it is, it's kind of lame.
Nintendo has the handheld piece right - small device, simple games. If you have a big, complex device, it needs to do something and Sony just failed to hit the bid here.
