I'm pretty sure the Sony minidisk is cheaper, and its definitely cheaper per megabyte give its storage size already. If the DS and PSP games sell for the same price, well, that just means the DS is shitted out of gamesize for the same price. Thats what... a $35 game with 120 MB size vs a $35 game of 1.8 gig size ?
The bottom line is still the same. Its a question of storage, and I don't think 120 MB cards will do the job enough to compete with the PSP at all. Its something thats giving me alot of dismay over the system. I mean like it has a lot of great stuff, but storage is the Achilles Heel and I can't help but feel its PSX vs. N64 all over again, and whats worst is that this was Nintendo's last area of dominance.
Needless to say, the entrace of the PSP into the handheld market alone is bad news because instead of Nintendo having 95%+ market share, now even if they still dominate, they'll loose money because market share will mostly likely drop, and it will be worst if this does indeed prove to be the Achilles Heel.
