Why is the DS the first handheld they have used a 3D chip in?
Come on it's not like 3D chips are new

And i suppose youve programmed many a game for the psp so you can compare it with your countless other titles you made on the DS?
No, you havent so stop commenting on things when youre just making rubbish like that up on the spot.

Why not???
If you spend Ł60 on a GBA SP you won't buy a PSP, you obviously wanted a GBA SP instead. You also won't be getting a DS. Because you had the option but chose the GBA SP.
So you have to count the GBA SP because they are in competition!!!!
If people are buying a PS1 they won't be getting a PS2, because if they have one or plan to get one it'd be stupid as you can play PS1 games on it.
The GBA SP is in direct competiton with the PSP and the DS.... the GBA SP has sold rather well in Japan despite the launch of the PSP and DS and it has sold millions and millions in America.
The more GBA SP's sold between now and March = less DS's and PSP's sold in March.

The trouble with the DS is that developers don't like gimmics and why developers are scratching their heads on how to use and incorperate the touch screen and stylus it is costing them time and money.
Enter the PSP a console in your hand, simple in it's concept, easy to program and software developers don't have to spend ages in translating it, thus costing them less money to produce the game.
Reason why there are currently 250 games in development for the PSP.

They dont really compare. It's like saying PS1 is trying to get XBox customers - I dont think so. Thats not to say you cant get good games on PS1, but really - they are not in the same market. GBA-SP is not up there with DS or PSP in the same way. So, lets not bump up Nintendo's position by sticking GBA-SP sales together with DS sales.

But not all mp3 players have the same "issue's" as the Apple ipod. Come on, we all know its not perfect, but its still the most wanted. People are prepared to pay for the name.
VW have launched a 3cly 6v Deisel engine - yes, it reall only has 6v technology. But people will still buy it - it's the badge that matters.

Thats fine. But this is the exception to the rule, not what happens in the "main".

Yes indeed because that'll be a simple evolution of the GBA brand.
Whilst the DS is not an evolution of anything!
