Right. Imagine two men sitting on the train. They both have long journeys, and both are bored. Then, they pull out their games. GBA for on, PSOne for the other.
The man with the GBA (or GBC) filters through his small cartridges, slots one in, and then turns on his tiny compact console.
The man with the PSOne. He gets out his considerably larger CDs and then attaches his controller, with a lot of wires all over the place. I know which one i would rather have. The smaller no strings (or wires) attached GBA - The same power as the PSOne - Or a PSOne with an attachable screen, and Controllers on wires, and bigger games (in a literal sense). True, this is a worst cas scenario, when the wires get tangle dup etc, and I expect to get a lot of PSX zealots attacking me for this, but the PSOne is a half re-hash of the PSX with a supposed element of portability in it. Hmmm....

However, the PS2 has a PSOne within it, which only takes up about 10cmx10cm. Really, the PSOne should have been around the same size as a (thick) Discman.
Now theres a thought - a Sony Discman that plays PSOne games.....
Pretend to play tekken on a discman. What happens?
A PSone with console-mounted buttons would require at least a 3-minute anti-shock. Equivelent to a high-end Discman. How much does a high-end discman cost?
Now, think of a recently released superconsole that you could buy for that amount of money.
See my point?
You could easily fit all in, (after all its not that much smaller than a PSOne anyway), black it up, put little PS2 style lights on it......
Voila, the PSX gets a new lease of life, but also is portable and looks good at the same time.
Sorry turbo, you may have missunderstood my intentions.........
