Second, discs on a portable system spells disaster. Discs get scratched when thrown around, carts don't. With portable systems, you throw it in your pocket, throw it in the back seat of your car, etc. They get scratched, plain and simple.
You don't just walk in and defeat the greatest selling system of all time. This isn't PSX vs. N64, this is PS2 vs. Gamecube. You Sony fans should know best, PSP can try all it wants, but it won't get near GBA, no matter how it may or may not be.

first. absolutly what i was thinking. Also, IMO, portables target kids much more then they do adults. kids are the ones wanting to take it for rides in the car and play wherever they go. maybe older people will like to play it once and a while. but they're still more towards a younger audience. i sure as hell cant play one while i drive around. i have a GBA. never touch the thing. Also if kids spent thier money on a GBA. they wont be so inclined to spend more on another one.
I'm pretty sure this handheld will be better then the GBA. but i dont think it will do as well. they shoulda entered it at the same time as the GBA hit. made some competition from the start.
Second, im not so sure about your point, at first i was thinking the same thing..... But then i got to thinkin.... Hey, people and kids these days have learned to take thier portable CD players with them wherever, toss them around. use the CD's on the go. put them in thier pockets. IMO i think the CD thing will be alright
