totally differnt markets tho.

unless, and i do say UNLESS, this PSP is really made into the portable media device. IE playing movies / music / and games. i would tend to agree with xantar.

The difference between the portables and what Sony did with PSX is image.

Sony came out with the PSX and it attraced the older audience. it looked 'cool' and was there for the 'cool' thing to have in many peoples opinion.

IF sony goes straight after the handheld market for games....... IMO its a kids market. kids are the ones that use the portables the most.

however if they do the same thing they did with the PSX, (which it looks like they are) and try to attract the older audience. ie making it the portable MEDIA device. or 'walkman of the 21st Century' then they have a very decent shot at it.
plus this isnt something that if it doesnt sell well they end it.... this will be a long term thing. and it will try to build up its user base from now thro the PS3's life.
