Sorry OB1, about the framerate thing, I was talking in ideals, and got carried away. Not taking into account engine constrains, RAM, cache, the whole kit n' kaboodle. Point still stands, as you agreed, that if two games were to look exactly the same in screenshots, but one ran at twice the framerate, then it would be smoother that would be far more impressive on a technical and aesthetic level.
lazyfatbum, I'd love to agree with you, but as OB1 pointed out, the PSP is outselling the DS and GBA in Japan right now, and is still sold out across the country with no signs of slowing up. And remember, that price point does come in a bundle, not just for the system.
I really think that that is perhaps going to be Sony's strategy for their next home console launch. Lord knows that they're going to be making a massive loss on each system sold, and with 2 other systems launching at the same time, it's hard to imagine them charging massive sums of money for the PS3.. I'd predict an accessory and/or game bundle. I would also expect MS and Nin to follow suit.
