Very insightful and I agree with everything said especially about the DLC. In regards to E2 2013, Ninentdo will have momentum simply becasue that will be the perfect time to unveil the 3DS+WiiU Smash Bros alongside the major first party titles for Wii U.Given the unique nature of the Wii U and heavy weight the SSB name carries Nintendo can take away much of the spotlight from the others.
My handle is pronounced exactly like the Ghostbuster “Egon,” but I really don’t care.
The PSP actually had a faster processor than even the late model PS2s by about 30 megahertz, although it changes clock speed to save power, and even the launch PSPs had the same 32MB of memory as a PS2. What separates the PSP from the PS2 isn’t technology, but design. Sony saw no reason to extend their victory with the PS2 and didn’t want to handle a disk-to-digital program, either, so they launched the PSP as an independent handheld with UMDs and ports.
But should the PSP have always been the PSP Go? I don’t think so. That was just about the time of Steam’s first stable release; digital distribution was expensive, iffy, and Sony drastically overcharges for storage. No matter how you look at it, the PSP was launched a year or so too early.
It’s just always been Sony’s plan to promote synergy between their products…and launching the PSP with an independent library kinda put it in opposition to the PS3.
