Quote:Still, that's a large additional cost... almost as much as a game...
$15 is a lot??! You have to pay over a third of that just to be able to use headphones with the GBA SP, and you pay that very same amount to get a crummy external light for the regular GBA!
Quote:That price would be good for what you get, but the GBA will be substantially lower and, I'm sure, will still have a great lineup of recent and upcoming games... sure, its completely outpowered by the PSP, but I would hardly count it out just because of that. Between the momentum of so many years of GB domination, the huge library of great games, the significantly lower price, and the substantially longer battery life I am not at all afraid that the PSP will quickly win. No way. Nintendo will have plenty of time to come up with their next GB...
Oh, and I know its quite unlikely, but I really wish it'll support (in some way) GB carts... that library of 1200+ games would help it a lot...
There's no way the GBA is going to be able to stand up against the PSP, and if that were true then Nintendo wouldn't be rushing to get their next handheld out as soon as possible. No, obviously your statement is wrong. It'll be like the PS2 competing with the SNES (if the SNES was the only console out until the PS2 came out).
