Quote:I'll say it again. So? I don't find that fact very relevant... Nintendo is right that the PSP isn't serious competition for a while at least.
Look at how Satoru Iwata made that comment.
"Basically Sony's multi-function handheld device will not have a big impact on our business, but we are, whether Sony releases a new product or not, preparing for our future...and we'll be able to tell you specifics next spring..."
They're preparing for the future and announcements will be made next (2004) spring. We already know that the big announcement that he's referring to is NOT the GBA successor, but rather this "new and innovative" product.

What does that have to do with anything...

Guess I have to spell it for you then.

So... you'd rather see new SNES games than new games on far superior hardware (GBA)? Sure there's a resolution difference, but GBA games still look better on the big screen. Original GBA games, that is.Quote:Then why get your hope up?
Nintendo's problem isn't that its announcements are for bad products, it's that those products aren't really what the general market wants... see Zelda TWW's initial announcement, or Pac-Man Vs...
I'm not getting my hopes up, I just think that it could be a pretty cool announcement. But I'm also preparing to be let down.

Who said they did?
