Gamasutra's latest Analyze This column asks videogame analysts about their current impressions of Sony's PlayStation Portable and how the PSP can be improved.
So is the PSP a failure, as many overly critical of Sony say? Ed Barton from Screen Digest says "The only way in which the PSP can be perceived as anything other than a success is by comparison with the Nintendo DS." Well, that and maybe Sony's expectations that the device would be the Walkman of the 21st century, maybe.
There are some excellent insights here, with potentially surprising sales data to back up the PSP's "success". It also appears that Phil Harrison's GDC speech on Game 3.0 has analysts thinking about the PSP's potential in the user created content space.
I think the PSP could potentially have its best year yet, with PS3 interactivity, more unique software, better PSone support and a potential form factor redesign. Oh, and God of War PSP. Let's not forget that.
