Quote: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...
Wait until the March/April numbers come in.
Quote: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.
Nintendo is trying to target the same people with the DS that Sony is with the PSP: Adults and non-gamers. We'll see which one wins out. I already know the answer to that, but I'll let the numbers do the talking...
