So how bout that PSP?

[omnitarian]

Right, Nintendo do have a stronghold on the market but that is simply because there hasn't been any competition for around 10 years

The Game.com, Neo Geo Pocket/Color, and the Wonderswan/Color are three competitors off the top of my head.

And with picto chat (correct me if im wrong) you within a short radius of the people your talking to anyway.

The Technical specs say the wireless's range is between 30-100 feet. And the wireless will be used for more than just pictochat, anyway.

Opinions are good, but not when they're heavy handed and based on misinformation.

I really dont remember Nintendo pulling any real ..just maybe mistakes like carts on N64, and the GC using small discs. The problem is most people just prefer to go with PS2's design and they never went to push the GC's limit. PS2, with its shortages and errors it has, thats real ...not whatever mistake a company made...i mean its not a good thing but its not a extremely bad thing as well..i mean how many defective Nintendo products you have that just dies on you after good care? Or tilting it sideways?

WSC and the others still didnt really "compete" :x

Does the PSP have the graphics capabilites of a PS2? Because I heard the PSP is getting a new Darkstalkers game. I bet PSP will be getting Sammy Vs Capcom when it's done.

[Maxico]

I distinctly remember nintendo massivly delaying the GBA so they could milk the pokemon franchise a bit longer.

My PS2 has been tilted sideways for 4 years and it works fine

Im sorry about being heavy handed but its not like nobody else is. Why is it suddenly ok to be heavy handed when your opposing sony and fine when your opposing nintendo?

The graphics on the psp arn't quite as good as the ps2 as far as I could tell.

[Dingo Jellybean]

People just seem to forget the Game Gear, the only true competitor to the Gameboy franchise.

I don't ever plan to buy games anymore, and that means no game systems. As for the PSP, Spider-Man 2 looks really good on it...the movie that is. But you the movie can only be played on the system and nowhere else.

I think the PSP will have a modest endowment on the market, nothing Nintendo can't handle. But the DS and PSP have these high price tags that won't attract too many people.

[Lionx]

Well speaking of price tag the DS has a lower base price..therefore its more attractive then dont you think?

There are cases of PS2s breaking after a 9 month use or by tilting it vertically before as well as the disc thing being jammed....i havent seen a GC problem besides people messing up the laser inside it which you shouldnt...

The graphics of the PSP are sharp and great. Ok maybe not as good as the PS2 but they still worked pretty damn hard. As for the Darkstalkers game there is one already out which ive got for the PSP and is pretty good but not amazing. Not sure if theres going to be anymore though.
Sammy vs Capcom sounds great. Has it been confirmed?

Ive heard of this but has never happened to me. My mates PS2 broke after bout a year and bit. I use disc cleaners though. Dunno if they work but somethings keeping my PS2 alive

Not only that but pretty much everybody I know tilts their PS2 none of them have broken and we all got ours at around the same time. I think that your being a little heavy handed. Its just like the case of Xbox cords sparking and buring people. Its happend to around 50 people in the world ever and suddenly people think its a major risk.

Besides there have been reports of the B button on gamecube breaking after a few months.

[Dreddz]

I tilt my PS2 up and it works fine.

[Zeldy]

I really dont like sony,i hate sony, everything i own from sony is crap, the ps1 freezes on me and even some sony earphones i have are rubbish,
Stick with Nintendo and you wont go wrong.
I have a Nintendo DS, its awesome,only 1 thing wrong tho.. there should be more protection for the screen.
But there was nothing wrong with it at all apart from that.

~But thats just my opinion~

[Dreddz]

sonys domination over Nintendo shows that it is the best games company

[Sephex]

That logic makes no sense. Would you say that the current number one Billboard artist is the best possible music to listen to just because it is number one? Sales don't mean quality.

[Xalioniaf]

A few days ago, I went to my local Blockbuster to buy two new games for my DS(Wario Ware: Touched! and Yoshi Touch and Go to be specific). As I checked out, I started a little chat with the clerk. I asked him what he thought about the whole DS-PSP thing, and he gave me some sage advice.

"I think that the DS and the PSP are two different things. The PSP seems to be aimed at more of people who need to do many different things, while the DS seems aimed at people who just want to play games. I don't think it's right to compare the two, because they're not the same in any way."

Afterwards, he told me he alrady had the PSPs in the back(this was Monday), but he couldn't sell them ^.^.

I might get one if I can save up the money. 10 dollars a week isn't alot, but with summer comes growing lawns ^.^.

Have to agree with Sephex on that!
