Would have quite an interesting effect on the battle. Giving Nintendo a 6 month headstart.
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!

Mind you, if its true its one hell of a set back for Sony. Nintendo will be cheering all the way to the bank!
Technically not really. There's various mobile phones nowadays which probably sell more games than some of these consoles. Then there's a barrage of PDA things... Gizmondo... It's just that most are out of the price range of the 'kids' or common consumer.
So to you and me, it is pretty much DS vs PSP, but in fact the market is growing quite considerably.

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!

Sounds like a very plausible outcome though.

Crap competition is still competition.
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

Yes, because if you own or like one handheld console you are automatically prohibited from owning or liking other handheld consoles. Death to the PSP! In other news, the annual Volkwagon vs Ford owners-club fight is well underway, with observers claiming it to be the closest such contest in years. Stay tuned!
