You said "It looks like a competitor to the Palms and iPods of the world, not the Game Boys". The DS is the next Gameboy, whether Nintendo wants to call it that or not. Is the PS2 not a console because it isn't primarily targeted towards kids? Don't be ridiculous.

But you can't deny that Sony is aiming at the iPod market as well as the Game Boy one... Palm too to a lesser degree. Nintendo is doing it to a lesser extent but even there... what about stuff like Picto-Chat? How soon until we get DS organizer programs? Yeah, I think that that's a decent comment.

That depends entirely on how well the DS does. But even you have see that the PSP is a serious threat to Nintendo now since the price difference is negligible.

Oh it's a threat, but I think Nintendo can hold on to its market for some time... maybe not forever, but it's not going away right now.

The only thing I ever said about the price is that the PSP would NOT be over $300! Last time I checked $200 wasn't over $300! I said it was going to be afforable, while you and GR and everyone else said it wasn't! Just say that you were wrong and I was right!

So as I said, Sony's willing to swallow more losses than I expected.
