Re: DS price drop AKA psp doom3d
I've seen the PSP's features. I don't care for watching movies on a tiny screen low resolution screen no matter how bright it is (there are DVD players the same size that work much better) nor for listening to music with such small storage space (there's the iPod) nor for browsing the internet without actually being able to point and click something.
Yeah, it all comes in one device, but I don't want to watch movies unless I'm actually going on some long trip where I expect to watch movies. Then I'll just carry a DVD player along. And I've never been so desperate for music that I would absolutely have to carry a PSP along with me for that purpose. And if I want to browse the internet and for some reason have no access to work, home or a computer store, I might as well just use my cell phone which also has a sucky browser but which I'm going to be carrying around with me at all times anyway.
The PSP's multimedia capabilities are nice bonuses. I won't deny that. But people don't buy the thing for those features. They buy it for the games. And if people are starting to say that the PSP is a better movie player than game player, Sony is going to have problems.
