Nintendo's mystery product revealed!!

[Dark Jaguar]

I go on long trips that don't give me access to power plugs often enough to know that rechargeble won't make a single bit of difference and it'll be pretty much like the Game Gear's battery life. In other words, lasting long enough to get me there, but while I AM there, the thing's dead the whole time. So, replacements. Well, I could get a bunch of AAs easily enough to switch out on my GG (and so I did, plus we had one of those alkaline recharger devices they had back in the early 90's, but for some reason never really sold that well, but then again it was sold via telephone number instead of in stores...), but getting a PSP battery? That's tough. Can't just find other people around and ask for a stray battery. I could just buy one beforehand, but why? To make up for the lackluster battery life? I'm paying for the device's shortcoming? No thank you, I'd rather not. Battery life, remember OB1, is only an issue when on those very long trips, and on those very same very long trips, one won't have access to a place to plug it in. I mean, if I had access to a power slot on that trip, I could just plug in my GG's AC adapter and not have a problem.

But we'll see. If anyone can get themselves into a nice rivalry against the GB, it's Sony. At best though, it'll be just enough market share to keep Sony alive in that market and keep Nintendo innovating to stay on top. I just can't see Sony succeeding with this system where lots of worthy systems before had failed. Coolness factor was in the bag with Sega and Nokia, so that won't be enough, and remember that in Japan, Sony isn't even marketting themselves as the "cool kid's" thing, as the cute puppet-like animals ALL OVER their web page and a lot of their PS products will tell you *looks at box that imported PocketStation came in and says "aaaww"*, so they don't have that either.
