Just thought this might be an interesting one.
Have a bit of a session with your mates and get to some food stuck inbetween your teeth do you try and find a tooth pick or just use the stylus?
Is there some safety concerns here?

No need to shout. The answer is no, but my points still stand.
Have used a PSP?

Do you really think a stylus is gonna make the difference when the two systems are running at the same time, the Sony will have the edge beautiful big colourful screen and graphics to match not gimmics.

Dringo: Has some very good points however when you have sampled the future why would you want the past.
Such is the gulf in graphics, screen, functionality and sound that it would be stupid to suggest that PSP cannot become a hit.
Now Nintendo might have the edge, but how long do you really reckon that is gonna last. Trust me on this there are so many PS1 and PS2 consoles out their you cannot say that none of these millions of consumers are not going to want to carry on play their favourite games portabley.
Then there is the developer support, software companies are not stupid they would not produce games for any console they could not make money on.
250 games in development and counting can't be wrong.

HAVE YOU PLAYED A GAME ON THE DS USING THE TOUCHSCREEN?

Are you suggesting that Nintendo can produce a superior Stylus/touch screen on a machine that costs around $150. PDA's can often cost much more than that, and have much better screens, and touch screen/stylus technology. Although like I said, a keyboard & mouse is better, but on a PDA, you dont have room for such things - unless you make the QWERTY keys very small, in which case they are too small to use.

No, have you used the DS? have you played any DS games with a stylus or with the touchscreen?

I have used a stylus on a PDA before. Like I said, the people in large computer firms have, for years, been messing around with new input systems like the Stylus, but they always return to keys, and a mouse.

Sony have sold about 510,000 units, and it took only 2-3 weeks. They have sold every one - so I dont see how anyone can say that nobody wants one.
Experts in the cumputer world have been trying for year to make things like the Stylus an alternative to buttons, mouse, keyboard. Guess what they found out....Stylus input is not as good. Just have a look around you, how many computers are hooked up with a stylus for everyday tasks?
