As much as I love the PSP and want to read about a resurgence in popularity for it, this writing seems a bit labored. There's a bit of substance and a few nice photos in here, but I feel like I just read the same paragraph 5 times.

"It's not just this, or this other thing, it's another thing."

"It’s not always about playing through a full game, it’s about the object itself, what it says, how it looks, the feeling it gives off."

"Not as a replacement, but as an alternative."

"It’s not just a handheld. It’s a self-contained beautifully designed little bubble"

"You’re not browsing a library of endless options, you’re watching something because you decided to put it there."

"It’s not just nostalgia, and it’s not just retro collecting."

I don't think these fluffy statements contribute to the overall thesis, and it could be trimmed down a bunch. Not every blog post needs to be Jony Ive waxing on about the purity of the iPod. No shade, I appreciate the attention given to the device and community, but it's just a bit padded imo.
