while I agree that it isn't PS3 graphics exactly It's certainly damn close. its about AA title PS3 game good.

Ehhhhhhh... naw. People say "PS3 graphics!!!" and all I think is that pic from what I assume is Yakuza and go "Lookit dem jaggies... lookit them flat lookin shirt textures..." It's pretty, but whenever someone goes PSThreeeeeee~ I feel the unquenchable desire to be a nitpicky ass.

"Graphics kind of like the PS3 but not quite as good" wouldn't make for a good thread title or OP, though.

Plus you have to remember that when you're actually looking at these while playing, the smaller screen will help a lot. The Yakuza screen is way bigger than the game's actual aspect ratio.

Well... it varies really... i mean, there are some PSP games that look as good as quite a few PS2 games, and yet, the PSP is not as powerfull as a PS2...

It depends on what you take as the Ground in which you define graphics as "PS3 Level" ... if you only look at the top tier of best looking PS3 games (which is a small percentage of the library) you get a result, but if you look at an average across the entire library, you get another result.

Then again, the point is that the PSP is pretty much like a Portable PS3 with Move built in AND touchscreen capabilities. It might not rival it in the graphics department... but feature wise, it just might surpass it.

It just depends on what games start showing up for it really...

Really, I think comparing its motion capacity to the Move is inaccurate. The Move works with a synergistic motion-sensing system combined with positional tracking via the known size of a sphere using a camera. The PSP2 is really much closer to a standard SixAxis without the visual component.

It even says Six Axis on it's spec sheet.

I'm aware, and I've mentioned that when talking to some other people, but if Sony is gonna keep pulling the "rivals the PS3" thing I'm gonna keep calling them out on it.

But, then how would they be able to continue to inflate their egos?

All-in-all, they better have a strong, iron-clad showing of titles at release and the production line better pump. Holiday season means that Nintendo will have , at the very least, an 8 month lead on the market, I would bet a 50 dollar price drop, and a better scale of the demands for the season. If they don't bring the A game, it could be another PSP lull right from the start.

*goes and looks at PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3 launch titles*

Yeah, fat chance of them having quality launch titles.
