5 Reasons Sony PSP2 Not Be Successful

Sony's Next Generation Portable has been the talk lately, it must be recognized Sony put a lot of hope on these gaming consoles, as well as providing many new aspects of both the hardware, features offered, and software.

Who does not like the large 5-inch OLED screen (960x544), 3G connectivity, fast processor, good graphics, and so forth. However, some parties still feel Sony's Next Generation Portable console is not going to gain success despite already having a big name before the Sony PSP.

In fact, most likely within the next three years, Sony's portable gaming console can be rolled up by Nintendo's game consoles and Apple products. Here are some reasons why Sony NGP will not be successful:

• There is no gaming features a truly unique: Sony NGP does have attractive features such as dual analog sticks, the touchpad on the back, as well as 3G connectivity, but do not have the characteristic. Unlike a typical Nintendo DS touch screen and the Wii which has a typical motion control. 


• Big Screen is not enough: Even though Sony NGP is equipped with a large 5-inch screen capable of offering high-resolution graphics are good, that it is still not enough. Because when compared with other popular PS3 games that are played on television, graphics quality will still be noticeably less when it is played on screen 5 inches on the NGP.


• No focus on casual games: Game-selling now mostly come from the game light / semi-casual, which can be played a lot of people. Call it the Angry Birds which sold 50 million copies which means double the total of 15 top PSP games. Sony NGP seen not focused in that direction with a clear focus to meet the needs of game developers that ultimately increases the cost by one game and minimize customer.


• Social and Features on the NGP sites will not be widely used: One of the important features of social networking is the number of people. IPhone and Android applications succeed because it has many applications, Facebook is successful because it has many members. While perhaps not everyone will have a Sony NGP because not a basic need such as mobile phones or easily accessible such as Facebook.


• No change in total and more handsets look the same from the previous PSP: Previous PSP new design benar2 expected to have a fresh, for example, can be folded or the like. But it turns out designs offered are not so different from the first version of the Sony PSP.

Do agree with the above 5 reasons? Some wanted to add another reason, or give another opinion that the reason was not true?
