*sigh*
You are exactly the kind of blind, ignorant fanboy I had to deal with during the N64 days. You see ABF, the difference between you and me is that I try to remove my biases, while you're the most biased fanboy I've met since my days in Croatia. I'm more of a Nintendo fan than you are, but I do not allow myself to become deluded like you do. "The IQue would sell great here", "Sony became #1 in the industry based soley off of luck", etc. You only look like a fool, Brian.
When Sony says that the PSP will not directly compete with the GBA, they mean that as an insult towards the GBA. They're calling it a toy. Of course the PSP will not directly compete with the GBA. The GBA will be obsolete next to the PSP. It'll be like comparing a Porsche 911 to a Yugo. Like the PS2 competiting with the N64. The PSP will compete with Nintendo's next handheld, and the longer they wait before they release it the harder it will be to remain on top. I don't believe this rumor from that website. Sony didn't get on top because of blind luck, no matter how much you tell yourself that. They've always had low licensing fees, and they still manage to make big bucks with the PlayStation systems. I really can't imagine them actually trying to make a profit per handheld sold, as they know that it would never sell that well at that price point. Unless of course they've gotten cocky like Nintendo was when Sony came out of nowhere and crushed them. But I don't really believe that just yet.
