Sony has announced the PSP2 (temporarily named the "Next Generation Portable"), perhaps the final boss of handheld consoles. It's far more powerful than its destined competitor, Nintendo's 3DS, and incorporates social and locational data, 3G, a monster 5" OLED screen, and a number of other features detailed here. It is to be one of the linchpin platforms for the world's most recognizable entertainment electronics company, a stomping ground for new games, media, and services. And I think it's going to go down in flames. Why? It's got its competitor beat on nearly every spec, it's got the backing of droves of Sony fanboys, and million-selling franchises just waiting to be put on its crisp 960x544 screen. How can it fail? I'd say by not addressing the fundamental needs of a handheld gaming console and ignoring strong trends in the market.
