Is there any truth in the rumour that the Gameboy Unadvanced uses Sega Gamegear screens which sega flogged off cheap to Nintendo, then again I am not sure if the Sega Gamegear screens are better.
Also who in there right mind wants to play SNES style games from the GBA on there Gamecube as if.

Whats the point in making good games, if you dont tell people about them? Where's the marketing Nintendo/MS?
Or, could be that people do know about them, but have decided that Sony offer a better selection of games.

Because it's cool. People only want them because their mates own one and want to be in with the in crowd. It's become more of a fashion accessory rather than a games console.

Plenty of next gen console choice now. No less than 3 to choose from!
The fact that PS2 continues to out pace it's rivals must be due to quality, or games selection, or whatever. If PS2 had sold so well before just because it was the only Next-Gen out there (but don't forget the DC), why haven't we seen a big swing to the other new consoles (ie, GC and Xbox)?

Well, if Sony made the PS3 broadband only (no DVD, CD, just downloads), and charged say £600 as well, then no I wouldn't buy it.
The only reason GBA does so well, is that there is no competition in that market. You wan't a portable system, it's got to be GBA.

Aww, you poor boy, the graphics are bad? Awwww. THing is though, Nintendo have made a portable sytem with excellent graphics and games. It'sc called the Gamcube and you buy a screen for it. It's definately more portable than the Gamegear. Why isn't it 60 million Cubes sold then? Maybe, em, they want even more excellent games like the ones on the GBA? Just a possibility. I couldn't care about sales though, just cause it's sold loads doesn't make it amazing, does it Update, Top Score. I bet though, if it had a SOny logo on it and not Nintendo, you'd be AH OUR GBA IS AMZING!! What do you have? The Gameboy Colour! HaHa!
Still, you can't reflect on the number of sales to say how good it is, can you Update2.01 or Top Score?

the gameboy advance uses LCD graphics, you dunce! its easyer to make pokemon style graphics than make often abysmal attempts at 3D Characters
Top Score thrives off peoples hatred seemingly.
Oh. Unadvanced.
Well, let me see. Its a more advanced version of the GB. So. Are you saying that it is actualy the same level as the original GB?
You really are an idiot.
