Great support later is not what's needed, though. It needs good launch titles and then a steady stream of decent releases from there. That's part of why the DS is so successful. The other issue is that once again they've focused on graphics when it's not a necessity for handhelds. Graphic requirements really cut down on the quality of gameplay most of the time, as we see with most next gen games. And if a machine can display really good graphics then that's what people expect, regardless of whether or not it's needed. I would say good graphics are actually more of a negative than a positive.
That backpanel touch screen is such a ridiculous gimmick. I'm not going to poke the back of my NGP with my finger while holding it with one hand hoping to hit the right spot while not dropping it. Especially if it's the same weight as the first PSP, which is ridiculously heavy.
I've been a sony fangirl since the PS1 and want to see them be successful more than anything but as it is realistically, this isn't going to do it. You can rationalize what may or may not happen any way you want, but given what we've seen currently, especially in comparison to the 3DS, this is going to be a flop, at least for a while.
