Some great-looking PSP screens

[A Black Falcon]

In case you forgot, the Dreamcast was also a credible system for a while. But that's Sega. The PSP is already doing much better than the GG ever did.

It's better to leave the sales analysis to AFTER the console comes out... :) Sure, it definitely has potential (and probably will) be the most successful challenger to Gameboy, but given that it isn't even out yet here...

I don't think Nintendo is going to fail, I just think that they're going to lose the number one spot sooner than a lot of people here think. And just like the home console arena their main hope will be a niche market. Kinda like apple.

And don't think that's a bad thing. I would be perfectly content with Nintendo becoming the true "Nintendo Difference". Making games that can only be played on Nintendo systems so people that already have XBox 2's, PSPs, PS3s, and whatever will still want a Revolution or DS. That I could live with. But Nintendo as king of the market once again? Never gonna happen.

Obviously, I don't agree about the handheld market. Oh, it's certainly possible, but will it actually happen? I'm not so sure. At least, not soon. I think on the handheld market Nintendo has a better chance with 'unique' consoles like the DS than they would on the home systems... and other factors going for them, like price and a focus on the younger age group that Sony does not have, assure them of long-term success at least.
