You don't see the company holding over 90% of the handheld market getting the chop overnight.. Are You Sure?! o_O

Well I dont see why we should expect a handheld to compare with a home console. So there will be 2 systems at least which will be current. But the question is, which 2? I would have to say PSP for handheld market, and PS3 for the home market. But I guess Microsoft will still be around with XBOX v2.0 (Service patch 0.95beta), maybe Nintendo too. Apart from PS3 being the leader in numbers, I am not sure about the "market share". And for handhelds, I dont see DS or GBA-SP getting the chop overnight. GBA-SP will be fine as an entry level option (with a very low price tag), while DS will fight it out with PSP. Although I think, eventually PSP will win the numbers game, in the early years at least, the DS will be quite strong.

No I haven't, I've been skeptical about it.

I have argued that it'll smash the PSP to bits. I always have. I've argued with Top Score and Macintosh that the DS is more handheld and will succeed.

I do not though think highly of the DS yet.

Metroid Prime Hunters is my most anticipated game for the DS, but just LOOK at Mario Kart DS, it looks just like the gamecube version!

What the hell?

Dringo, you've changed your tune all of a sudden. Over the past few weeks you've had your forum-genitals shoved right up Nintendo's ass about the DS and now this?

Anyway, I think the DS has an awesome launch line up.

I've never ever played Mario 64 in my life, I anticipate it's arrival.

I'm 19 and still enjoy the Pokémon games.

It doesn't matter how old you are. A good game is a good game regardless of the age group originally intended for.

As for the PSP. I wont be getting one. There's no point. I have a PS2 and I rarely play that. If I want to play PS2 games, I'll play them on my TV instead of the handheld.

I'm 18 and I think Pokemon was a superb game. I'm not into the card collecting, the endless cutesy remakes of pikachu or the films, but the games are nothing short of excellent.
