PSP yawn

There are about ten PSP games gathering dust on my desk. Metal Gear Acid 2, 50 Cent Bulletproof, LA Street Duel, Power Stone,Tenchu - the list goes on. The problem is I just can't get excited about the PSP at the moment. If I'm out I'll take the DS and if I'm home I'll play a console/PC game. The PSP just seems to slip through the cracks.

But what about that pile of games? Obviously the likes of 50 Cent and LA Street Duel are unlikely to appeal to any sane person, but Power Stone? I used to love that back in the day, but it still isn't enough to tempt me back to the PSP. And to think at the start of the year I couldn't get enough of Sony's handheld. Watching films, catching up with the West Wing on the train, admiring the screen, even playing the odd game (i.e. Daxter). But somewhere along the line I fell out of love with the PSP. Too many average games, in fact too many games all together - I dread to think what the average PSP game sells in the UK. Maybe it will change when the PS3 launches, maybe something will click, but for now my PSP will continue to gather dust. How is yours doing?
