Comments on: PSPGo Not Out Yet … Already Behind the iPod Touch / App Store http://www.geardiary.com/2009/09/17/pspgo-not-out-yet-already-behind-the-ipod-touch-app-store/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the PSP (not a fan of handheld gaming in general), but the main target of the PSP/PSPgo is not those minis but the Crisis Cores, the Dissdias, the Gran Turismos, the Assassin's Creeds. Touch controls might work okay or even great for puzzles and small RTSs, but how are you going to do a fighting game for instance without buttons? And what happens if someone calls you in the middle of a multiplayer game? The reality is, people who are so hyped up on the "gaming experience" of the iPhone probably weren't going to buy a PSP anyways. “The quote mentions all items as available since “iPhone OS 3.0″, but of course software updates have existed since the beginning…”
