- dbldn, on 07/16/2008, -5/+171Spore will kill PSP? I disagree completely. One game cannot kill a system. A new version of the DS... maybe.
- 3sicasity, on 07/16/2008, -1/+128Wow ,look at the thumbnail. Spore looks amazing!
- IrvineKinneas50, on 07/17/2008, -4/+65Wake me up when my iPhone plays thousands of SNES, Sega, and Nintendo games like my PSP does.
- LooterMcBeer, on 07/16/2008, -7/+68So just because spore isn't being made for the PSP its gonna to kill it? Seriously I know spore is going to be a hot game for the hardcore gamers but Ive yet to see anyone who isn't into hardcore gaming think spore looks even remotely fun. The thing that hurts the PSP is the cost. Most parents wont cut their kid loose with a $169 handheld. Sure the $129 DS is only $40 cheaper but its perception. The PSP also isn't nearly as kid friendly as the Nintendo DS. Sony is sitting on the verge of making the PSP explode and they have been forever they just wont do the things necessary to make it happen. Drop the PSP to $139 and drop the price of the games $10 and sales would more then likely skyrocket.
Lets be honest here also ill use Assassins creed as an example. You play it on the Xbox 360 then you go look at it for the DS...... Seriously... That game completely sucks on the DS. Thank the gaming gods for things like the cycloDS so i didnt actually waste money on that worthless game along with the hundreds of other completely pitiful games for the DS. The DS is perfectly suited for things like Brain Age, Petz, and kids games. The PSP on the other hand can handle alot better games and look good while doing it. - inactive, on 07/16/2008, -4/+60No one game makes or breaks a platform anymore.
- GeorgeStone2, on 07/17/2008, -3/+56Buried for obvious reason.
- MWilson1992, on 07/17/2008, -0/+48I don't own a PSP, but this article sucks.
- iamsmooth, on 07/17/2008, -2/+45Burried for being retarded. In that logic, Spore for PC should kill PS3, 360, and the Wii...
- jellydoughnut21, on 07/17/2008, -0/+32Couldn't agree more, it's a ridiculous article
- roxya, on 07/17/2008, -1/+28Call me when Patapon 2 comes out on iPhone.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+27How does this artical have any + diggs?
- Brew, on 07/17/2008, -0/+24Who takes game industry speculation from popular mechanics? seriously.
- lordtyros, on 07/17/2008, -4/+25Halo made the Xbox.
- jtbndy, on 07/17/2008, -1/+20191 diggs for this garbage article? Thats a lot of msaleem digg whores.
- edru, on 07/17/2008, -1/+20The only thing that keeps this from killing the PSP .... NO CONTROLS, ***** accelerometers, i want a thumb stick.
- Katana314, on 07/17/2008, -3/+20Phoenix Wright is no kid's game.
"The victim was killed by twelve chainsaws, your honor." - pktgumby, on 07/16/2008, -0/+16Oh, I get it, we're going off of the Mayan Calendar or something like that, in which this is April Fool's Day, right? Can't think of any other reason for this joke of an article.
- mywhitenoise, on 07/17/2008, -6/+22I have both, they definitely do fit their stereotypes. That's what a stereotype is, a generalization. Of course there's an exception to the rule, but for the most part DS has a ton of ***** kid games.
- Iztikeit, on 07/17/2008, -0/+16Spore =/= determining factor of ANYTHING
- mywhitenoise, on 07/17/2008, -0/+16because it's "iPhone".
- IrvineKinneas50, on 07/17/2008, -0/+15And they run like garbage and the controls are on a touchscreen. Trust me, I've tried them, and they suck.
- bjornski, on 07/17/2008, -5/+20Steve hates buttons.
Steve says it's best.
So it's best. - mnsisgreen, on 07/17/2008, -1/+14Next on Digg: The iPhone heals cancer, study shows; Global warming solved thanks to the iPhone; (insert whatever gadget name here) has it's days numbered, watch out for the iPhone; Funny: cat tries to unlock iPhone (I CAN HAS IPHONE);
- phoenixp3k, on 07/17/2008, -1/+14Wait... what? iPhone + Spore = diggs ??
How can a game that comes out on the 3rd year of a platform be considered life giving or ending?? So if Spore came to the PSP they would sell like "hot cakes"? Japan only needs to hear Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy to go "ape *****" about something.
You know what... now I'm pissed off. How can you start an article and proclaim the PSP dead? "The PSP had a great run." - gmprunner, on 07/17/2008, -2/+13And on a handheld, too!
- acero47, on 07/17/2008, -11/+22Please stop using the same cliched stereotypes of PSP = great graphics for "grown up" hardcore games and DS = kiddy crap. There are plenty of excellent games on the DS that are far from kiddy (TWEWY, Trauma Center, Etrian Odyssey, the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy remakes, Izuna, etc). We should be beyond this by now. Both systems have good games and both have crap. Real "hardcore" gamers can tell the difference and will enjoy the system(s) they have.
- fani, on 07/17/2008, -1/+9Idiotic writers give rise to idiotic articles.
Buried. PSP is alive and well with some great games I enjoy. Nice looking/playing GTA anyone ? Patapon ? VT3 ? - scstraus, on 07/17/2008, -3/+11Exactly. I mean, how many games do you really think will benefit from a touchscreen and tilt interface? I'd say about 5% of the current catalog of games. There will be some spectacular games for the iPhone, but they will be few.
- shutaro, on 07/17/2008, -1/+9It was smashed by an iBrick...
- worminater, on 07/17/2008, -3/+11touchscreen? nothing changed?
- Yage2006, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8I am really getting tired of these iphone will kill the ds/psp articles.
First off the nintendo ds or the psp wont cost you 2000+$ over the next 2 years.
The ipod touch should be given more credit if any to this theory because it costs allot less.
Secondly Though the touchscreen and accelerometers are nice many types of games are not going to be well executed on it.
Lastly in regard to the psp I have yet to see anything as nice looking as wipeout pulse or god of war just to name a few running on it nor do I doubt it can handle it.
It's a nice device and all but stop blowing it out of proportion.

- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -5/+13The iPhone fans are lowering their expectations... It is no longer the all in one device that is going to replace computers...
- pktgumby, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8Nowhere near as alive as Johnny Five!!!
- Yage2006, on 07/17/2008, -2/+9Well said, Its what all delusional people will say when you show them solid evidence and logical arguments the only things they can say is its propaganda or its part of the conspiracy.
There is no link between the 2 popular mechanics has come down hard on republicans before in regards to many policies and decisions.
- LucerinRed, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7I"m sorry, but for active gaming, I like Buttons,.Touch screen and tilt sensitivity are great, but it wont' be a major gaming device along the levels of DS and PSP. This is why the DS didn't go without them.
- AparoidX, on 07/17/2008, -1/+8The iPhone doesn't even have buttons! BUTTONS! How can it outclass the PSP in the gaming aspect? You can only go so far with motion sensing (which isn't exactly precise) and multi-touch surface when it comes to developing games.
And it's not like Apple has some well-known and loved franchises to back them up, either. Sony has Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, MGS, and tons of other great franchises to keep the system rolling. Apple has the type of games you'd play on a train ride, but nothing hardcore.
And Spore? Sure, it's looking to be great game and all, but just because PSP doesn't have it, doesn't mean the entire system is going to lose to Apple's product. msaleem, this is the 2nd topic that's made popular by you that I think is ridiculous. How much are you paying Digg? - jjhuddle, on 07/17/2008, -1/+7Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Halo made xbox rich. fact.
- insidius, on 07/17/2008, -6/+12And the PSP just has a ton of ***** games full stop. I actually purchased a PSP first before purchasing a DS and other then the homebrew at the time (I had mine shipped from japan into australia) there was just no decent software for it. I still have it here and sometimes I go to EB and try looking for something that does not suck however the number of quality DS titles just heavily crushes what is able to be purchased for the PSP making it an easy choice of which one to buy software for.

- spookyttws, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6I get that they want to sell a lot of games, but does it really need to be released on every platform invented?
- bungoman, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Seeing as how the PSP is still selling thousands of units a week in Japan and that the Japanese don't give a ***** about the iPhone I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is *****.
- ShrimpCrackers, on 07/17/2008, -5/+11I'd sadly have to agree. As an owner of all three handhelds (iPhone included), the stereotype fits perfectly.
Where in Phoenix Wright for the DS you may get someone simply lightly describing a murder, in Manhunt 2 for the PSP, you see someone get hacked to pieces, blood flying everywhere, while the victim screams desperately for mercy.
Also the title of this article is fluff. it compares the graphics of a 2D game (Spore) versus Resistance which is a 3D FPS. What it should have done was compare Super Monkey Ball with say another platformer for the PSP such as Daxter (at which point you'll see that Daxter has much much better graphics).
So this prophecy will never happen. The iPhone needs buttons (Super Monkey Ball is neat but needs a LOT OF FIXES and the tilt sensor on the iPhone just doesn't cut it here) otherwise I will still play my RPGs / Advance Wars on the DS, and my PSP will still have all the other games. - getatmedigg, on 07/17/2008, -1/+7shenanigans
- thatsmyaibo, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6Stupid article. Buried and forgotten.
- Yage2006, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6There's allot of good games on the psp now.
God of war, Wipeout Pulse, Patapon, Echochrome, just to name a couple off the top of my head. - FranzySF, on 07/17/2008, -2/+8@Dbldn
You are right. This article is ***** stupid. Iphone can keep its crappy version of spore. - revjustin2, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5PATAPON ROCKS IT!
