In a well-read oppinion over at pocket gamer, Jon Jordan share his view on how the psp should survive. Hop over and read it
I really think that this oppinion by John Jordan, nails it in at least one important and sore spot.
The DIY (do it yourself) bit.
In Johns words" playground that you share with friends, share with the world, mash up, strip down and laugh about. Just like PSP is sort of a games console".
There is a lively underground homebrew audience for the little handheld from Sony - not that I encourage illegal activities... but the path to the gamers and multimedia-consumers-of-our-times' hearts is through a sense of participation.
Even the little subpar (in terms of hardware) handheld from Apple has features that a least SEEM to cater for this type of audience. I am refering to the abundance of low-perfoming games in terms of graphics, but with the kind of homemade, participation-like qualities in terms of gameplay that is available at the press of a thumb and a cheap price from the onlinestore with an apple-logo.
Lets face it: large parts of the modern audience wants to be part of the fun, together and in a community-style setting. Facebook and Twitter and what-have-you are (I know, I know; these are not really gaming communities) part of this trend. If the Little big Planet can go even littler - it can make the little handheld for Sony bigger, like mr. jordan suggests.
