That might be true, but first I'd have to be convinced that the amount of load times could actually change the battery life that much (I doubt it; it'd make some difference but that much? Unlikely... even if you have fewer loadtimes you still have to load. And games use the hardware a lot.... I would be pretty surprised if less loadtimes could double the battery life.) and that Joe Public would actually have any clue which games last longer and which don't. I somehow doubt that ones which drain batteries more will say so on the box... :D
And remember, the system will have a very high percentage of PSX and PS2 ports. As that Gamespy (I thin; or was it IGN?) article said, the profit margins on handheld games are lower, with the cheaper games and all, so companies don't want to spend as much to make the titles... and this is as powerful as a PS2 and so porting is really the only way to go for most developers. That or cheap, shoddy games.
