Has the PSP retired yet?

Also, what's with all this 3DS hate? I think it's an alright handheld; it's not great, but it has some good games for it.

for me it's just that I've yet to see a single 3DS game that I'd want that I couldn't just get on another console. I do think the new DOA looks good, but not quite killer-app for me.

For me, it is that I just really really really hate Nintendo. In fact, once a week I place my NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii into five points of the pentagram, place some of my various Game Boys, Mario, and Zelda games in the center, cut the heads off several Yoshi plushes, spread their stuffing around the ritual circle, and pray to the Dark Lord Satan for the 3DS and WiiU to become utter laughing stocks. So far he has been hearing my prayers.

I figure - hey, it worked when I used to do it for Sega

Street Fighter 4? PS3 and 360. OoT? N64, GCN, and Virtual Console. Rayman 3D? N64, PC, DC, PS1, GBC, PS2, GBA, DS, and I think PSN too. And the rest of the games that are any good are only good, not great. They are far from system sellers.

I've said it before, and I'm very serious about my theory: PSP was huge in Japan because of porn. They sell UMD porn there. Lots of it. And hey, did you know our new porNable system plays games, too? Good ones!

It's like VHS in the US in the 80's. Note to companies -- if you want yr new format to stick around, make it with pr0n.

I never knew that. I guess that disproves the whole "whatever porn backs, wins" theory. I think, today at least, that so much porn is online that it makes little difference what format physical porn is on.

We could see porn choose to go totally digital at some point. That could be a big decision influence for the major studios on that switch in a few years.

I'm not saying whatever porn backs wins. I'm saying it can help though.

I thought Final Fantasy Dissidia would save its life, unfortunately it didn't

Really? I'd consider that to be in the bottom tier of PSP games. It's not very good at all.

it's the brand name that it's a Final Fantasy game alone is the reason why it's so popular as you think of a Final fantasy game, it's supposed to be something that gamers are universally interested in. ( opinion )

I did like the first one, but when I started playing the second one 012, I started to get a little qweezy from the annoying plot and the uninteresting new characters that made me go back to playing Dungeons & Dragons tactics.
