Sony's PSP vs. Ninendo's GBA

[BreakABone]

I find this arguement rather funny, I mean for all intents and purposes the PSP is about 2 years off, the GBA has a fanbase of like a gazillion people, yet the PSP has a chance?

If I remember correctly, Sega was a major player in the console industry, they had vastly superior handhelds that even mimicked console games at that time, yet the GB survived. It has been released and re-released so many times and yet people buy it.

I mean folks claim it's impossible to beat Sony for the same advantage the GBA has over any handheld, but since it's a Sony handheld it's different? I'm not seeing the point in that?

I mean the disc may be huge and whatnot, but there are some genres that won't work on a handheld. I mean imagine a ggame with extended cutscene on the GBA? it's all cool and whatnot on a console, you have time, on a handheld, you play while on the bus, on a break, while on a trip or something. You don't want to spend large amounts of time looking at text. I really don't see what this PSP will do other than have nice graphics, but I'm sure since you all played these great games you can tell me how it's gonna jumpstart the handheld industry.
