PSP

PlayStation Portable · 2004–2014

Sony's first handheld and a genuine technical statement — near-PS2-class power in a pocket, on the proprietary UMD disc format. The library is deep in exactly the areas collectors prize: late JRPGs, Atlus and niche-publisher releases, and a strong run of strategy and visual-novel titles, many shipped in small numbers. The PSP's collecting market has risen sharply as these late and low-print physical releases became scarce, sharpened by the closure of the PSP storefront, which left physical UMDs as the only route to much of the library. An emerging-collectibility platform led by its RPG tail and its complete, intact UMD cases.
