The Sony PSP2!
Nintendo, your 3DS is getting some competition! (see post "The Nintendo 3DS!") On January 27th, Sony should reveal the PSP2. This will offer a larger OLED touchscreen. That touchscreen should appeal to phone/iPod Touch gamers. It will also support 3G data supplied by NTT DoCoMo. My opinion, however, is that as of now, the iPod Touch remains the best portable gaming system. This is because the games are ridiculously cheap ($5 vs. $40), and it has other fun features like HD video recording, a 5MP camera, FaceTime video chatting, and Game Center. Sony and Nintendo are both trying to take over the iPod Touch. Will they? That will solely depend on the PSP2 and Nintendo 3DS.
