Why is the DS the first handheld they have used a 3D chip in?

Come on it's not like 3D chips are new

Also Nitnendo said the DS wasn't competing against the PSP officially, and that it also wasn't a replacement for the GBA. They already have a second GBA in the works that would surely knock the socks off any chance of Sony winning the handheld market.

Isn't the DS like a separate thing from the GBA anyway?

They go hand in hand, no?

Save it?

The winner needs saving???

DS is nothing like a GBA bar the fact it plays GBA games.

The GBA is a cheap, simple handheld device.

The DS is a complex and innovative gaming system.

I will be delighted to see the GBA SP emerge the victor of this war.

GBA outsold the DS in America.

It's well known the PSP has issues with music playback.

And I-pods do have battery issues.
