    The comment about Liberty City Stories only selling 8 million really does strike the heart of why Sony's consoles in general kind of struggle to be remembered compared to Nintendo culturally. You can see it in other places to. The Gamecube sold like one-seventh of the PS2, but Melee sold 7 million units while San Andreas, the best selling PS2 game, sold 17 million; only 2.5 times. This gets mentioned a lot whenever Scott brings up the N64 vs PS1 too. People play Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles, people play all sorts of games on Sony's consoles. I for one have never owned Liberty City Stories or San Andreas for example. My PSP experience was primarily Monster Hunter Freedom 2/Unite, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, Mega Man Powered Up, and Yggdra Union. My PS2 experience as a child was some James Bond games, Sonic Heroes, Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner, Star Ocean Till the End of Time, Kingdom Hearts, God Hand, Persona 3, and the first Jak and Daxter. I'm sure most other PSP and PS2 owners did not play all of those same games, they maybe played 1 or 2 and then had entirely different stuff.

      I agree, nintendo consoles have less variety on what people tend to play there (specially fro n64 to wii u). What i always loved from sony consoles (ps1, 2, 3 and psp) was the sheer variety of games. Sports, RPGs, shooters, anime games, they had everything.
      Btw, consoles that sold badly tend to have giant numbers of attach rate in its games.

    I had a DS and PSP back then, but I think I spent more hours on the PSP (that's still a ton on both). Playing mostly Japanese games. Patapon, crash, MegaMan, Tekken, final fantasy, monster hunter, and a bunch of anime games i forgot about. Then later, Hatsune Miku and stuff. It was also my main way to watch anime and movies at the time. It was so cool before Smartphones came.
    My only complaint is that it feels like the PSP didn't have that much to call its own or stand out to a large crowd. A lot of times it was "the PSP version" in many occasions, and games like Patapon feel like they went under the radar.
    While I spent more time on PSP, i had more fun and fonder memories with games on the DS. It has a lot of bangers that I've still yet to play, and the majority feel like they were made for the DS specifically, so they really stand out.

    I always felt like the Sony handhelds never got as much love compared to the Nintendo ones, but them having a presence in that space was a good thing. Who else was even making handhelds to competite with Nintendo back then? People still go crazy over the Vita to this day and how Sony fumbled it.
    Sony also stopped giving a shit about many of their older IPs. Jak and Daxter? Syphon Filter? Socom? Resistance? Those were all present on the PSP, and they are forgotten now. The only one left is like God of War and Ratchet. That's it.

I grew up with arcade pong and text games like Zork....my first console was the original XB at launch and for handhelds I got the GBA SP at launch. I'm definitely late to the game for handhelds and home consoles. I was just born too early. I am still an avid gamer in my 60's and love my handhelds - still playing on DSi/3DS and Vita mostly though I do have an assortment of Anbernic and Retroid devicdes. I may have started late but I have bought every handheld and home console from the major player since. Enjoyed the video. I really did play the heck out of my PSP though now I play PSP games on my modded Vita.

    To me what feels different between the two is that the Nintendo consoles felt like they had more focus than Sony’s handhelds. Series like Kirby, Mario, and especially Pokémon consistently got new main releases while Zelda got many “side” games that weren’t as important as the console games but still important to the series. I haven’t heard many people talk about the PSP or Vita games unless it’s a game that has a much more popular version on modern consoles like MGS Peace Walker or Persona 4 Golden.
    Plus with the games using the dual screens, it makes every game more tied to the DS and 3DS because every re release of them have find ways to make those work on one screen. While with PSP and Vita games they aren’t really tied to the system they were on,

    It really dawned on me as Switch started getting stuff like Persona and Katamari that it felt like Nintendo finally accomplished what Sony wanted to do with platforms like PSP and Vita. I loved my PSP 3000 to death especially since it unlocked my Persona 3 Portable obsession but it feels like Sony was always a step away from properly creating a platform that allowed both the more casual games and the hardcore stuff like your RPGs and action games to meaningfully co-exist without one clearly taking priority over another. Switch ironically is the Vita perfected to me because now it has the smaller indie titles, mid-tier stuff and big budget genre games I feel like Sony had at various points of a handheld's life but never together in the same timeframe. Vita really picked up with indies and smaller Japanese games but that was only after Sony gave up on it and stopped supporting it with first-party titles, causing third-parties to pull out despite successes like Danganronpa and Persona 4.

    I was starting college when these handhelds were launched, I was all grown up and I bought the PSP first before I got the DS. And I enjoyed the PSP more in college, not only for its 3D games were better, but it felt like the device was more versatile, it had music and video playback, and mostly playing full length movies on the go! I remember getting UMDs for really cheap at Walmart and even Blockbuster was selling them for $10! I’ve played the PSP almost everyday as a college student. I got the DS lite when Mario Party DS came out because of my friends and cousins wanted to do multiplayer modes.

    Each of these portable consoles were aiming at different audiences and genres. Back in 2005 I let my oldest son pick if he wanted the original DS or PSP. He chose the DS because he was 7 at the time and he loved all the mario games. For myself I got a PSP because the more high resolution games like Final Fantasy 1 and 2 were there and I just like the style. The PSP was also more expensive as a console along with more expensive games compared to the DS.

    I don't have my PSP anymore, but it's the reason I got me into Square games. A friend handed me their PSP and it had Dissidia in it, and I thought it was the coolest game ever. I then got FFVII on it and loved it, followed up with Crisis Core, and those three games were the reason I got a PS2 to continue playing games with FFVII characters like Kingdom Hearts and Dirge of Cerberus.
    I am still a Nintendo gamer through and through, but the PSP introduced me to PlayStation games through Square and other 1st party games like God of War, and I have never been able to not have a modern PlayStation with me at any given time.

    I've never heard anyone else talk about the puzzle in Phantom Hourglass where you had to physically close the DS to solve it. I still remember it to this day and consider it a prime example of how Nintendo makes games innovative and immersive in creative ways. You literally had to think outside of the game itself, which was mind-blowing. It's funny that when I came to that puzzle in the game I was so lost that I actually closed my DS to go and look up a guide online, only to realize that I had already solved it lol.

    Now that PSP is one of the easiest 3d consoles to emulate I think more people are discovering that its library actually is worth looking into. A lot of stuff was ps2/ps3 ports, but there's a lot of great original games too, I know someone who's favorite game is Gurumin on psp.

    I absolutely LOVED metal gear solid peace walker on the psp. I think its one of the most successful and novel transitions of a consol game to a mobile game. it and portable ops had some amazing ideas with its fulton system of recruitment and short bite sized levels. yah the face button aiming wasnt the best, thats the worst part. but its specific lrger picture experience was really something that fit the psp so well in a way that you cant really appreciate on the consule releases. all the side missions seem like a slog for a full sit down and play static gaming style. but as something to work on and always have a next thing to do between classes or on a road trip, or while waiting for something and board was really great. a kind of experience not really got on a non on the go gaming system.

    another little mentioned but super unique psp series was patapon, which was a rhythm… squad rpg battler? you basicly controlled a squad of tribal creatures going on hunts and wars through a drum that signalled them to advance, retreat, attack, and other commands to a beat. and it had a lot of charm to it while also making you feel like a bad ass god of your people.

  • @lucascouto166
    @lucascouto166 6 месяцев назад +1

    Basically, I think the main problem with the PSP is that it just didn't have a killer app to call it its own and that everyone was fond of.
    Back then in 2008, I was very detached from gaming news, so I could go for either a PSP or DS, and everyone around me wouldn't shut up about PSP, and how it had a camera add-on, so I ended getting a PSP, no camera, though
    To be honest, really happy with that decision. Took some teats of mediocre gaming, but I eventually molded the system and now it's an all-in-one kind of system that it's still up and running

And i loved my PSP i loved playing little big planet, mod nation racers, Loco roco 1/2, and this one SpongeBob game that i can’t remember the name of. My PSP library was small, but still good. My dad also downloaded 3 movies and ported them on the PSP, those movies were…Sufes up, Megamind, and Wall-E. I loved that thing, I believe my dad got it for me because my DS light broke, and eventually my parents got me a 2DS to replace it (Then I later saved up my money and got a New3DSXL)

    I think for me, Star Wars: Battlefront Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron were the games that for me was like "oh this is something special" on the PSP. It's interesting how you can draw a straight line from Steam Deck/PC Handhelds --> Switch --> PSP
    Handheld gaming has changed so much from being these compromised experiences to now being something close to if not exactly the same as what you'd get on PC or a home console. That really traces back to the PSP (and I guess by extension the Gameboy)

    I bought a 'Blaze Taito Super Pocket' as an investment in regards to playing Saturn and Dreamcast games. The games currently available for the Evercade platform aren't that desirable to play, but I think by purchasing the hardware will help fund the more desired carts in the future.
    They just opened preorders for the Alpha cabinet when they knew they should have released a Street Fighter and Megaman cart, so I assume they took a loss on all those initial carts and are trying to recover. Duke Nukem and Tomb Raider for the PS1 was the first step in the right direction, so now it boils down to how many games they can fit on a single cart...

  • @Xenronnify

    I have the biggest nostalgia love for the PSP, just due to the heavy hitter games I got for it. KH Birth By Sleep, MonHun Freedom Unite, Daxter, 3rd Birthday, and all the PS1 games I could grab on there when they went cheap.
    Still, in terms of staying power, the DS had it beat by miles. Same with the Vita- amazing hardware, unique features like the back touch pad, but it was held back due to a complete lack of a reason to own it past one or two knockout games.
    Something I'd wished both companies would have done is put the older games on these handhelds for pennies instead of full price. As a kid, you don't have access to really any money, and being able to grab classic titles for like, two to five dollars was a lot easier to do than frickin 15 or 30.
