Will Sony let it happen? Is getting more systems out in the US really more important? Does the fact that there is not enough titles ready for launch matter?
Nintendo's launch of the DS went perfectly, and the PSPs seems to have been shrouded in misery. Ninja disks, dodgy buttons, pants battery life...
Do Sony deserve to fail? Part of me hopes so, but part of me understands the need for a bit of competition for Nintendo. I mean Nintendo didn't really do too well at supplying many decent games on the GBA! But of sodding re-releases. Then they moan at Sony going "All that's going to be on PSP are PS2 ports. {winge winge}" Part of me thinks Nintendo does need a slap, and some competition to make them pull their a***s into gear and give us a solid flow of games for a change, rather than moaning about everyone else.
But then on the other hand, there's a part of me which will always love Nintendo, and doesn't want to see them get a whooping again from Sony. Time will tell which'll turn out to be the most popular. My moneys on the DS, cos I'm gonna buy at least two. One for me, and one for the misses on her birthday. Hope that Doctor game comes out, cos she'd love it, but I don't hold much hope for it coming out anywhere other than Japan. :(
Anyways, delayed PSP! Oh yer. Let it be so!

Nintendo are nasty in the marketplace, give them a rival with a weakness and they'll exploit that weakness quickly, efficiently and tirelessly.
Unless it's something to do with Europe. :D

I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows an old wise man, who knows a magical fish called Monty!
Or it could be a good mate of mine I met in town who works in a games shop...
Sounds like a very plausible outcome though.

You cannot compare the battle between the DS and PSP to car companies. There are hundreds of car manufacturers out there and competition is spread. This battle is between only 2 companies and it is gonna be one hell of a battle!

You have a mate?

It sounds plausible. My heart (and hopes) is with the DS but I just know my gambling money should be with the PSP!
