I listened to a cane & rinse podcast on the PSP recently
And they only got one user post about the PSP. PSP seems to be relatively overlooked as a console. It feels as though it was considerably overshadowed by the DS. However, I love the PSP hardware for one, I think its gorgeous.
I loved the hardware in 2005, and I love it now.
Sony tried to go all digital with the PSP. Didn't work, but the Go is also a lovely piece of gaming kit
Whilst UMD was a weird failure, and its multimedia capabilities were definitely made redundant by the iPod and imminent release and take up of various smartphone models, I know I used my PSP for music, video, and photos back in the day. I also have a huge nostalgic soft spot for UMD's, despite, in retrospect, their quality being pretty rubbish.
And of course, the games. The PSP had a 1300+ game strong library. Whilst a lot of it has been ported to other platforms, some of it remains exclusive on the PSP.
Two God of War games.
Two Syphon Filter games
Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker
Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII
Lumines
A jak & Daxter game, and a daxter spinoff.
Same for ratchet & clank
Lumines
The Patapon series.
The LocoRoco series
A whole bunch of great final fantasy remakes, including 1,2,4, and tactics.
A bunch of monster hunter games
Two Grand Theft Auto games
Two exclusive Wipeout games
A kingdom hearts prequel
An exclusive Resistance game
An exclusive Killzone game
An exclusive Assassins Creed game
A bunch of Ape Escape games
And stuff I'm probably forgetting.
