"PSP to trounce Gameboy?"

Fully 3D handheld console with disc based format...

Oh dear.

And the Playstation name can sell.

Games at £45 each?

Lets get this straight guys.

Remember when PocketStation was ANNOUNCED? It was dubbed to be the Gameboy competitor, sony shifted some specifications, pumped loads of money into it.

It never moved from japanese shores, in fact, it was'nt even a gameboy, just something similar to the Dreamcast Visual unit thing.

I don't think the GBA has any problems.

But this is different. Sony are clearly gunning for the top spot, they are going to pump it full of technology and sell it at a loss just to spite Nintendo, they are gay.

Sony = gay.

*nods*

Sony aime les hommes nus

(Sony likes naked men)

Sony aime les chiens

(sony like Dogs)

The GBA have a problem... but the GBA Vs. PSP will be very very close as the GBA has such a large userbase... and as people begin to flock from the GBA to the PSP the second one will appear... and just as people decide to get a PSP instead they'll pick up the "newer" GBA.

To compare the Pocketstation to the PSP is ridiculous, they're completely different things altogether.

And to say the GBA and SP will diminish PSP sales might be like saying the PSOne will diminish XBox sales.

.....

I know the Pocketstation turned out to be extremely different, but when it was *ANNOUNCED* years before release, Sony dubbed it to be the handheld playstation.

Turned out to be crappy VMA thing.

We'll have to see... the Japanese are loyal to their GBA and Pokemon society... if it fails over there...

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY MARIO GAMES!

Although they should be cheaper, or in an All Stars package, like you said.
