Every now and again, a console comes along that shows how much is possible. That sense of discovery is more pronounced where handhelds are concerned, especially when they’re able to offer console-quality experiences on the go. Of the many notable handhelds out in the wild, the PlayStation Portable<\/a> still holds a special place in many hearts, and it’s celebrating a pretty significant birthday today.<\/p>\n

Originally released on March 24, 2005, today is the 16th anniversary of the PSP<\/a>, the Sony console that helped pave the way for other handheld systems. It was the first in the line of Sony’s handheld consoles, which would go on to include several other systems, like the PSP GO. It also helped make a foothold for the ill-fated PlayStation Vita, Sony’s last handheld console.<\/p>\n

Fans have, of course, taken to Twitter to send out appreciation tweets for the console’s anniversary. The official account for The Game Awards asked fans what their favorite game on the system was, with a wide variety of titles making appearances in the replies. One\u00a0of the most consistent answers is\u00a0God of War: Chains of Olympus<\/em><\/a>, but handheld versions of many other iconic franchises have also been making an appearance.<\/p>\n
