Sony announces PSP's battery life...

[OB1]

Its not a LOT, but its almost the price of a game...

Oh, and Nintendo's decision to leave out a headphone jack is really stupid.

It's half the price of a regular GBA game. It's even cheaper than a month's supply of AA batteries for GBA owners who have to buy batteries themselves instead of getting them from their parents. :p

Not technically, but I'd hardly rule out the idea that it could still be quite successful after the release of the PSP... absolutely not... and the GBA is far more powerful than a SNES! And as I've said, there are more factors here...

The GBA's 2D capabilities are better than the SNES', but it still can't do 3D well. The SNES is the most similar to the GBA than any other console.

If the GBA could stand up against the PSP then Nintendo wouldn't be rushing to get their next handheld out the door around the time the PSP comes out. That is a point you seem to be ignoring.
