Don’t know exactly off the top of my head, but Monster Hunter alone makes a PSP a must-have. And raging anti-fanboys aside, Crisis Core and the Metal Gear Solid titles… Patapon… Lumines… GTA… But hey, it’s the cool thing to hate, right? It’s so badass and edgy to make hilarious jokes about how much of a failure it is.
Those poor saps who bought the approximately 60 million units… That’s approximately 6 times as many buyers as there are World of Warcraft players, by the way. Though I’m sure you’d be all over insulting that too.
And of course, that’s all saying nothing of its emulation and other multimedia capabilities. The thing was even applauded by Time as one of the “gotta-have gadgets” for its videos, music etc. on top of quality gaming. Mine is currently loaded with the entire library of the NES and SNES as well as a decent selection of tunes.
And popularity may not always directly coincide with quality, but things are popular for a reason.
And for the record, MH Portable alone has clocked in over 5,000 hours for me, and that’s not unusual at all. Far more than any other game by a long shot.
well if you’re going to bring emulation to the table then I may as well mention my R4’d DS, hardware emulation FTW!
as for Metal Gear portable ops and peace walker? I’d rather play Snake Eater or Guns of the Patriots, Monster Hunter Tri has thoroughly made my think that that series is a waste of time, much rather play WoW.
and as for multimedia…well thats what my ipod is for isn’t it?
