I don't know, I don't see people spending $200 (which is what I see it costing) on a portable gaming system even if it has these nice features. And contrary to what a couple other people have said, I doubt the games will be any less than that of a PS2/GC/X-Box game.

As much as Nintendo is a talented gaming company, i can't see them ever winning any console race against the likes of microsoft and sony. The companies more cash then they know what to do with. Even if Nintendo does everything right the next console gen it's going to be hard to compete with the bank accounts of sony/microsoft.

Yep, money is power.

When it comes down to it, to knock Sony off the gaming map would be 50x harder to do than knock Nintendo off the Map. Why? Because they have the money to buy a spot in gamer's hearts. Plus they have more pull at third party houses than Nintendo could dream of.

You know how GT3/VC was exclusive? If Sony starts to die off you would see a lot more of that ;)

For god's sake!! The PSP is marketed to a completly different crowd of people.

PSP and GBA will be 2 different market, they might marginally blur... But that's it. I don't see the PSP as a threat to the GBA, nor do I see the GBA as a threat to the PSP.

My friends that would never buy a GBA... would get a PSP cause of it's functionality.

I myself for one don't like portable gaming as whole, but the prospect of listening to music, and and watching videos does EVOLVE the market. It, like the PS1 will form a new demograph.
