Sony announces PSP's battery life...

[OB1]

You've got to go to other publisher comparisons because nothing between Nintendo and Sony is even remotely close to this... not anywhere near the same ballpark...

Oh is that so? Well let's see how the two situations compare to each other:

Home console industry--

-Nintendo is king of the market, targets most of their games towards kids (even though "hardcore gamers" of all ages love them), and are so sure of themselves that they don't expect to lost that no. 1 spot anytime soon.

-Sony comes along, Nintendo fans laugh at them, but then they start attracting a whole new audience to gaming, and make video games "cool" to the general public. They take over the market from Nintendo because of great marketing and attracting adults and non-gamers to video games. Nintendo fans start crying.

Handheld industry--

--Nintendo is king of the market, targets most of their games towards kids (even though "hardcore gamers" of all ages love them), and are so sure of themselves that they don't expect to lost that no. 1 spot anytime soon.

-Sony announced that they're going to enter the handheld market, Nintendo fans laugh at them, but Sony plans on attracting a whole new audience to handheld gaming and plans on making it "cool" like PDAs, mp3 players, portable DVD players, and every other portable electronics device that adults love. Blind Nintendo fans laugh at them and use such great logic as "while portable electonics and videogames are popular amongst adults and mainstream America, there's no way those two things could work together!", while others who've learned their lesson prepare for a huge war between Sony and Nintendo in the handheld market, hoping that Nintendo will come out on top but not really believing that they will.

Sorry, but there are a few M-rated GB games... not many, sure, but there definitely are some. Not many, true... but some. But because of the technology in the GB systems some games that are M on other consoles are T on the GB...

It's because of the technology???!! Hahaha!

Yeah, it was because of the lesser technology that they took out cigarettes from the GBC Metal Gear game.

That's sad, ABF. There are only a handful of M-rated Gameboy games out there, and the reason for that is because publishers know what the Gameboy's target audience is.

"Technology"... oh my lord... That's rich.

Games on PDAs and cellphones are clearly fairly popular, but those things have more useful uses as well... a console doesn't, and requires a bigger time commitment. It really is a different focus, despite Sony trying to make it a multitask system...

So... let me get this straight: adults love video games, and adults love portable electronics, but... put them together and you have a complete failure?

Boy, you're getting smarter and smarter with each passing day!

I'd far rather spend that $50 on a game, not on another DVD player... I liked the fact that Nintendo kept out the extras...

So did I, especially since I already have three DVD players, but it did hurt Nintendo's GC sales.
