Why did you buy a steamdeck?

Competition will always be a good thing. It forces innovation and drives down prices in order to obtain new customers or maintain a consumer base. Whether they succeed or fail I'm glad people keep trying in the handheld market.

Bottom two are absolutely correct. PSP is open for debate.

the steamdeck was never a competitor to the switch, and neither is the rog ally. handheld PCs are a category of their own.

The Game Gear and PSP have some pretty cool games though.

Bro, the PSP is fire and it sold over 60 million units so you can't call it a failure.

The Nintendo DS did have the better graphics though.

I thought I would get a lot of use out of it, and I was right. Not really interested in if it "kills" other consoles/handhelds that I'm not playing. I just care about VIDEO GAMES

Nah man, Okamiden looks better than any PSP game. Also Metroid Prime, Castlevania, Nintendogs, and Mario Kart, funnily enough, all look better than their PSP counterparts. Despite having more power, PSP games consistently look worse, possibly worse than the PlayStation 1, and nearly all Nintendo DS games, and it's not even close.

PSP made Nintendo fuck up royally by convincing them to add a faggy gimmick that the competition wouldn't have, resulting in the 3DS, which hilariously flopped. In a sense, PSP didn't kill the DS, but it killed the generation afterwards. Because of it, the Vita simply had to exist.

I never played Monster Hunter on PSP, but every other PSP game you listed had terrible framerate dips and never looked as clean as your average DS title.

That image looks worse than PSX games, which ran natively on PSP using only a fraction of the hardware. Even the UI on the bottom screen is flat and lifeless, with less detail and color than you expect from early 2000s flash games.

Nah dude, DS games look cleaner and play better IRL. Most 3D games on the PSP looked and ran like shit.

It resulted in an early price drop, but the 3DS didn't flop.
The system that did flop though, was the PS Vita.

nah, i specifically listed the games that ran well, portable ops ran like shit for example so i didn't list it despite it looking much better than anything on nds, gta vice city stories looks better than anything on nds but also kind of runs like shit so i didn't list it
psp simple had higher res textures and higher poly models always, raw fidelity the psp was simply better, and since 2008 it was completely trivial to cfw it as well allowing for drastically lower load times (1/10th normal) and cpu overclocking (psp was typically downclocked to 222mhz but you could put it to 333mhz to ensure lagless experiences even in somewhat shitty games like lcs/vcs, although that does nothing for games with shitty framerate locks like mgpo or psp2)
i had both, the psp was simply the better system, better in the hand and better controls too

looking back, the psp was such a shit system
barely any games and good hardware gimped by sony stupidity
its saving grace is that it was really easy to mod, and the homebrew community saving the day like always
if it wasn't for monster hunter and CFW saving it, it would have gone the way of the vita and flopped

what is this revisionism, you still see daily youtube videos of why you should buy a deck instead of a switch like how you should be a vegan instead of eating meat

yea, absolutely true, it did have some decent games that have almost no notoriety, but a good 90% of the catalogue is just completely worthless, some unplayably bad but most just boring
and playing games off umd was terrible, if you weren't running cfw everything up until 2008 was just terrible to play due to insane load times, and even after data install became a thing, most games still didn't have it because why the fuck would you when the standard memstick sizes are 32mb and you have to pay out the dick for a decent sized one

people that were modding their systems and using 3rd party memory cards were getting so much better of an experience than people using the real thing lmao, like monster hunter freedom iirc is nearly 40s per zone transition and it goes down to like 3s off a stick
the system really shines with emus though, as a nes/snes/gameboy/gameboy advance emulator it was my favorite system basically of all time, the form factor and ease of use was perfect
