Even thought the PSP is suposedly a game console, if that's what you want it for then your better off buying something else like a XBox or Playsation 2. The games available for the PSP are limited, but they will probably bring out a better range in the future. Because of the PSP's other features, such as MP3, video etc, they kind of don't focus so much on the gaming, so they didn't really design that side of things as well as they would on other gaming consoles.
