What didn't I address? How about you use a little elaboration for once??
You guys are in denial. Sony took over the console gaming market and there's a good chance that they'll do the same with the handheld market. Everything that I'm saying is under the assumption that the PSP will have a decent battery life and not cost more than $200, and everything that you guys are saying is under the assumption that the system will have a battery life of two minutes and cost $700. Considering how well Sony is doing in the video game business coupled with their experience in the handheld electronics industry (a point that you guys ignore) gives me no reason to believe that they're going to fuck this up. Sony knows what they are doing, and you can bet your asses that Nintendo is worried about it. Right now this whole situation is a big question mark, but you are once again underestimating Sony.
I play my SP in the public with my friends all of the time, stupid, but I have noticed that most people (teens and adults) are afraid of playing the GBA in public, and I never see anyone but myself, my friends, and little kids play with their GBAs in the public. And this is what I've noticed in several states across the country, so Oklahoma is most likely the exception.
If people are willing to pay several hundred dollars on MP3 players, cell phones, and PDA's, I'm sure they'd be willing to pay around $200 for a PSP. Only time will tell though, and I will most certainly come back to this topic when the PSP comes out.
