PSP: Online at launch. ... good job dropping the ball, Nintendo

Was that his idea or one someone put there to reflect how they thought he came off as? I'd guess the latter, because he does often seem that way... oh well. Some people are. You don't need to make such a big deal of it DJ.

Wifi helps the PSP, because its the most practical way to give the PSP online connectivity, much like how PDAs with WiFi are helped by WiFi. Alot of people have WiFi, and hardcore gamers are most likley to be among them. Those who buy the PSP can hop online immediately with it and play their online games. Likewise it would do the same for Nintendo, if they just figure out that they need this to make the system complete!!! In which case those who do have WiFi would be pretty disappointed that DS can only do LAN connections at best... not to mention a pretty pathetic game library at the moment.

Yeah, that's mostly accurate... Sony defintely is aiming the PSP more at the market which would have wifi, or other portable "adult" electronics (think ipod, etc) more than children like the GBs are, so for a good part of the market WiFi is a selling point... either as something they have or something they wish they had and will say 'cool the PSP supports wifi, i should get that sometime'... and then maybe get wifi. Maybe not. But what Sony really cares about isn't if they actually play it online, it's if they buy the console in the first place...
