Fully 3D handheld console with disc based format...
Oh dear.
And the Playstation name can sell.

GBA2 will win the handheld 'war' that's fast approaching us, but after that... who knows?

Steering wheel? On a portable console? It's getting less portable by the second.

YOu've said this above, but, GC disks would be better, I can just imagine playing Mario Sunshine and WW on it.

So far the only good suggestion.

Still not that portable.

I still maintain that Sony will win without even trying.
Even today on Newsround:
"Good news for gamers; Sony are releasing a portable Playstation, and there are loads of new exclusives for the Playstation 2"
er, hello? GBASP?
Even more exclusive games on the GC? And the XBox too?
The Playstation name has complete media dominance.
And when the PSP is released the game stores will slap it's name across all the windows and people will rush in and buy it without question.

The winner will be the one released first. If one of them can get a substantial margine on the other it will help dramatically.
Sega Game Gear released two years after the original Game Boy - it had a full colour, back lit screen and the design of the GBA. It lost.

I think that It will only do well if it's cheap, I can hardly see anyone really paying anymore than say £150 for it when you might aswell buy a GBA SP & games or even a PS2!

Not if you have an in-built device similar to the Panasonic's tiny memory cards.

The only problem is that playing with disks means you are going to need a memory card.
Well to be honest it is just a mini-Playstation. If Nintendo used their current optical discs and for a proper upgrade from the GBA they'd need to increase it to just below 64 standards... GBA isn't too far off from being a PS1.
