Quote:"Way-too-good"? No, "good" is a better term. Nintendo knew battery life mattered so they made it the top priority. And they made the right decision. Is that 4-6 incredible from Sony? It is pretty impressive... but all it really does is to highlight how batteries have not kept pace with technology. 4-6 hours is not long by any stretch of the imagination. The DS gets almost twice as much battery life and it's still not fantastic... I knew it was coming when I heard it was 3d, but still. I know people like good graphics, but good battery lives are vitally important too and until we get fuel cell batteries or something limiting the power of your system seems like the only way to go!
15-18 hours was way-too-good, and you're living in a fantasy world if you think that's even remotely close to being the standard for handheld electronics.
Mark my words: People will glady live with 4-6 hours of battery life to play PS2-quality games wherever they want to. The PSP is going to sell like mad.
Quote:Let's just say that I guess that Sony is willing to bleed cash, because it certainly costs them quite a bit more than that to make these things... I guess they are really desperate to beat Nintendo in handhelds, because I see no other way that they'd decide to swallow so many losses.
You still can't say it! Swallow your pride for one damn second and say these words: "I WAS WRONG, YOU WERE RIGHT!". I won't stop until you admit that you were wrong! You owe this to me!
