Quote:I could just remind you back with fifteen examples of you not admitting you were wrong about something, so it'd be foolish.
Please, name one instance where you had as much undeniable proof that I was wrong. I've admitted defeat on a number of occasions, mostly small stuff but overall whenever you say "you're wrong" it's almost always just in your opinion. In this case not even you can deny that I was right and you were absolutely wrong.
Quote:On the price subject... I thought of one more thing -- game prices. For both systems. What will the games cost? $30? $35? $40? $50? PSP games could be PS2-budget-level games, so they'll want to charge full price... but do people want to pay full price for handheld games? If we look at the GBA we can guess that a lot of them at least do not -- witness the early, failed, attempts to price games at $35 or above regularly (that is not counting stupid retailers that charge $35 anyway even though the MSRP is $30 for virtually all GBA games)...
Well first-party PS2 games are only $40, so at the most PSP games will cost the same. Sony could lower fees for third-parties so that their prices are the same, but we'll just have to wait and see. However, many games will be PS2-quality so similar prices should not matter. GT4 for the PSP is actually going to be more feature-heavy than the PS2 version!
Quote:Oh yeah, and in a final note, hmm... so OB1, you are predicting a 10% share for the PSP by the end of next year? Worldwide or in the US? After all you'd said I thought you meant more than that... that's something I could say could be possible...
10% would be an incredible feat. It took the PSX years to gain that percentage of the market share. And I'm thinking in Japan and/or the U.S., not worldwide.
