There we go, PSP has just out sold DS for the first time.


Many people have waited for years for a console that is not Nintendo with the usual line of of Nintendo games. And the stylus is not going to save the DS. DS just is not powerfull enough to take on PSP. How many years til the GBA2 is released?

Nintendo just make it worse for themselves. They decided not to use CD - big mistake when Sony launched the CD based original Playstation. They decided against standard DVD - another big mistake. Chances are the next home console will not be industry standard, and for internet connection, not being standard is a no no. They will prolly have all sorts of compatability issue's.

To stand any chance, Nintendo need to learn from their mistakes, and fast.

Whatever decision they make it will be the right one.

I don't care what you think, Nintendo are launching an online service, they'll have what is needed in their next console. Now go home and predict the failure of losing your virginity.

If thats hot wired direct to the next console, they really are going to need a hard disc fitted. Ask me if I think Nintendo will ever go down that route......Unlikely.

What? I'm talking about the "play on Cradle" cheats, or "visit the secret Island" and stuff like that.

Those were great cheats.

Unfortunately they came out after PD was released. If they'd come out before PD's release they would have been more welcome.

A slight shame Nintendo lost.

Although we wouldn't have had those cool Action Replay cheats for Goldeneye.
