Clearly, there is a ton of technology packed into this thing. Not all of it, however, is meant for gaming. While the PSP is backed by the PlayStation hype machine, many of the attractive features are borrowed from Sony’s other consumer devices.

The ability to watch full-length movies and videos comes from Sony’s portable DVD players. Playing music encoded in ATRAC3 and MP3 is straight from Sony’s Network Walkmans. And the ability to display photos could be something tossed in from the digital camera division.

Sony definitely had more than just games in mind when designing the PSP.
