The Playstation Portable (PSP) isn't a "portable PS2". It is a new handhled coming into the market to battle Nintendo and it's DS (as well as the next line in the Game Boy generations).

The new resizing of the PS2 as well as the addition of the ethernet port are in hopes to make the console follow in the footsteps of it's older brother, the PSX (The original Playstation, not the Tivo/PS2 Hybrid). Don't forget that the PSOne was released so that people could have a portable Playstation. Sony's plans were to make a portable Playstation 2, as well, and here is the end result. It's probably going to be known as the PSTwo.

How can you call the PSTwo portable? It's just small...doesn't have a TV screen or anything though.... Is the GameCube portable?

Anyway, I thought you were referring to the PSP when you said "portable".

i think what yan means by portable for ps2 and ps1 is just that they're just more streamlined. whatever. they're still keeping the ps2 name for the system coming out in november. i believe they're not gonna bother with the PStwo, which is unlike the PSone for the smaller version of the psx.

The PSOne came without a screen: http://www.gaming-age.com/news3/may2k/psone/PSone_1.jpg

The PSTwo is compatible with most of the screens that have been released for the Playstation 2, or so I heard. I think Sony intended to release this new PSTwo to follow up it's success with the PSOne.

The GCN is comfortable to tug around but is far from being a "portable" console.
