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!

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.

Mind you, if its true its one hell of a set back for Sony. Nintendo will be cheering all the way to the bank!

All depends how much the EU handheld market matters. Or if getting many more to the US is a better trade off.

But I do agree with the original post. Of course I want Nintendo to come out on top but they do need a kick up the 'arris sometimes. I want them to have some fierce competition with Sony but not to the extent of being smashed as they have been with the Gamecube!

I agree competition can only be a good thing.
I do really feel sorry for Ninty fanboys who have lined Nintendo's pocket year on year and the only thing to show for it is another Wario or Mario game you deserve better its called a Sony PSP.
