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!

It was like a coin-op. Which is the problem with many a DC game, a lot were simply arcade games you spend 80p on in an arcade then get bored with. Who wants one of those for 30/40 quid?

I think you'll find it wasn't a major issues especially as there was a wrestling game on the format.

That's funny, I thought you were predicting Sony's success on the fact they've done it before. Hmmmm.

Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia and MSR destroys anything on the PS2 anyday of the week. It failed because major third parties like EA did not support it.

You seriously think the PSP is capable of running GTA San Andreas?
The PS2 can barely run it, I highly doubt PSP would stand a chance. Anyway, most the memory San Andreas takes up would be the soundtrack, not many games have soundtracks that size so your argument is rubbish.
Oh and Skies of Arcadia and MSR kick GT3 and Jak and Daxter back to the stone age, troll boy.

Yes, the 'quality' of Jak & Daxter.
You make me laff, boy.

Why do you think just because it happened like that in the past, the same will happen this time round? Your argument is based on past history, and those points are no longer valid. The world has moved on, Sony is not a new kid on the block - people already have other Sony consoles. It's not an "unknown" brand.
Dreamcast - whats that? If the Dreampast (sorry slip of the tongue) could match GT4 (or even GT3), plus the quality of Jak & Daxter, combined with its earlier launch, it would now be in front. But its not. Some of the DC's graphics were ok, but some of it was not. The DinoCrisis game on DC looked only about 10% better than the PS1 version! And I like to see them compress down GTA-SanAndrea's to fit on the 1.0Gb disc.

Why do you think just because it happened like that in the past, the same will happen this time round? Your argument is based on past history, and those points are no longer valid. The world has moved on, Sony is not a new kid on the block - people already have other Sony consoles. It's not an "unknown" brand.
Dreamcast - whats that? If the Dreampast (sorry slip of the tongue) could match GT4 (or even GT3), plus the quality of Jak & Daxter, combined with its earlier launch, it would now be in front. But its not. Some of the DC's graphics were ok, but some of it was not. The DinoCrisis game on DC looked only about 10% better than the PS1 version! And I like to see them compress down GTA-SanAndrea's to fit on the 1.0Gb disc.

It's a hot sunny day and your sitting in the back of the car crusin' down the motor way with the window open while playing on your PSP. Suddenly the disk flys out, and pings out the window.... {gets run over by another car} Well that was a waste of £30!

p.s. but as a weapon... maybe
