I was looking at my PSP today. I haven't touched it in a few weeks. And based on the games that were announced or profiled at E3 I'm not sure how much more I'll be touching it from this point on. . .
Don't get me wrong, even in the short time I've had with the PSP we've had some good times. Great times in fact. Over the years it knew how to please a gamer, and built up a good library worth of tricks. And over the course of a few months, those years of experience provided me with months of pleasure. In fact, for a few months I didn't touch my DS or my Wii. It was the PSP day and night. I don't a have a single regret in buying it. But now that I've gone through all that it has to offer I'm wondering if there's a future for us.
Valkyrie Chronicles II, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and maybe the new God of War game. Those are the only things I'm interested in. Maybe not even that God of War game. I mean it will only be 6 hours long and I've got no intention of paying for it until it drops under the $20 mark and that still won't be for a while. So really, there's 2 games coming out for it over the rest of the year.
I can get $100 for it if I sell it now with the few games I still have for it. 6 months from now that's unlikely to be the case. And I know it won't get much play time over the rest of the year. Games like Dragon Quest IX, Other M, and Epic Mickey are already going to get priority. Hell I've still got Trauma Team and Galaxy 2 to play through. The PSP is likely to get none of my time. Plus in less than a year a younger and sexier handheld will be released and once that's out the PSP won't do anything other than gather dust.
I don't want it anymore.
