Quote: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.
If that were the case then the PSP and DS would be $500, not $150 or $200. The PS2 also plays DVDs but that is not its primary function. Both handhelds are gaming systems first and foremost, and anything else added to it are nice bonuses. The DS has an organizer not because Nintendo really wants that lucrative electronic organizer market in its grasp, but because it makes sense.
Quote: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.
My prediction: PSP gains 10% of the handheld market share by the end of 2005. That would be a major feat, and it will continue to grow after that. Just you wait and see.
Quote:So as I said, Sony's willing to swallow more losses than I expected.
You still haven't said the words I want to hear, because of that huge ego of yours. What you're saying basically means what I want you to say, but you're still too egotistical to outright say "I was wrong, OB1, and you were right".
