For instance you are wrong that I have no grounds to base anything I say about the TES series on...

Uh, I said that you have no right to complain about Morrowind when you've never played it.

You don't get it, do you... people don't want to pay the same amount for handhelds they do for major consoles, games included! They're used to them being less and changing that successfully won't be easy... Sony might manage it, but not without unhappy fans.

That's absurd. If you can get a version of Gran Turismo 4 for the PSP that even better than the PS2 version, you're not going to have problems paying the same amount!

ABF, your logic is flawed because you only have the Gameboy systems to use as comparison. Gameboy games have to be cheaper than console games because they are a decade behind, technologically-speaking! Nobody is going to pay $40 or $50 for a game that could have been made for the SNES (or in many cases, actually was). People don't value older, graphically-inferior games as much as they do the state-of-the-art software. The reason why it's always been like that with handhelds is not because of the simple fact that they are handhelds, but because their games were ten years behind the current consoles! Let's say that the DS could play GC-quality games, would people really scoff at GC prices? Hell no. DS games are $30 because they are N64-quality, and nobody would pay $50 for an N64 game nowadays.

But I'm glad you said that, because when I'm proven right again I'll have another thing to shove in your face. :)

Well it really depends on how you define '10%', I think. 10% of the year's handheld system/game/dollar sales? Obviously the GB line has a massive advantage from all the years, so how do you quantify that... I'm not a poll-taker or economist, I have no idea...

We'll get the numbers from Sony themselves, don't worry.

How much do the DS games cost? $30 or $40?

30.

There was this one time when you and Mark were having a debate, and you misread what Mark said. I pointed it out, and you said, "Nuh-uh!", and so I quoted him, bolding the part that you misread, so instead of acknowledging that you were wrong, you changed the subject by commenting on my avatar.

Haha, that's about as much that ABF has.
