I'd certainly expect PSP2 to be launched around the mid-term point in the PS3's lifecycle so that Sony can balance its marketing and promotions focus, if nothing else. They don't want PSP2 being a distractions from the PS4, do they? But as much as I agree with the intention, I'm not entirely convinced that the PSP - right now - has the software library to follow up the PS1/PS2 success stories. It may yet get there (Crisis Core looks like being a good next step), but it's still a long way behind the DS in terms of providing a good portable library of games. 10 year is, I presume, a reference to the hope and expectation that the PSP will have the “long tail” sales and market share of the Playstation and PS2, right?
