I love my PSP too. I play it almost every day. IT's a great system for JRPG's especially when you consider the PSONE classics. That said, I do want a Vita. I think the new Ys will be a major milestone, cause it's the first really, under the radar, niche JRPG coming out, hopefully the first of many.
Playstation Portable (PSP)

Today I decided to put up my PSP game collection and I will say I am shocked at how many I actually have. I decided to also put a page up on here to show what I have to possibly help strike up some conversation. I have not played all of the PSP games I have, I mean I have only beat four of them out of the 44 I have. So that is certainly saying something about me...gamer ADD I call it.
The Playstation Portable is one of my favorite handheld systems. I actually still own the original PSP, the first version that was released. Compared to the other versions you can certainly see and tell the differences. The first version honestly is not the greatest build of the PSP. It does have a lot of flaws such as the power button on the side making it easy to accidentally shut off the system. There is also the fact it weighs a lot more than the newer editions. It also makes a lot more noise when you are loading a UMD, from what I have heard I believe the later versions run the UMD a lot quieter.
Visual History of PSP Models:
Each PSP Model were different in various ways, but they essentially all do the same thing. The PSPGo though I believe was the only one that does a bit more than the other models.
It has come out with a lot of great JRPGs and other assorted genres. It makes me sad that it has not been that popular in the states though and made more impact in Japan. With this having been done it made a lot of great games not make it to the states from Japan. Although I applaud companies such as XSeed for bringing over some amazing games from Japan such as Corpse Party, Ys, Legend of Heroes and more.
Though with the Vita out, I appreciate how they are still making games available for the PSP for us that do not own a Playstation Vita yet or never will own one. I think there are a few more PSP games scheduled to be released in 2013 as well, I believe though it's going to start slowing down soon since the Vita is out now and it should hopefully be picking up more momentum which will mean less and less PSP based games. Granted I have the feeling they will probably allow most of the games coming out still that are not Vita only to be playable on the PSP such as the Minis and continue having the PSone Classics allowable. But I just think either by the end of this year or maybe even possibly beginning of next year there won't be any strictly PSP released games. I could be totally wrong too about this, but I feel since they have the Vita out it will be taking over. In a way it seems like the same thing happened with the Nintendo DS when the Nintendo 3DS came out. They were still making DS games and then it started to die out and more 3DS games came.
I will certainly miss the PSP when it's time has come to 100% pass. I will still keep mine though since I have learned the hard way about selling handhelds and then needing them again. You never know when it will need to be used again!
