I gotta say, ABF (and to a lesser extent GR..) I usually really enjoy your arguements with OB1, and think usually you put up a better fight than OB1 likes to make out.. but in this case, I think you're way off the mark here.
You're putting a lot of focus on Nintendo being only one developer/publisher, and Sony having the advantage purely because of third parties, but looking at those two lists.. it seems to me that Sony's in-house offering is also far superior to what Nintendo itself already has out.
And I never thought I'd see the day that a machine would be bashed for having too much power. PSP offering only standard console fair? Only ports of PS2 games?? What exactly is the biggest game on DS right now? An N64 port? Why do I even need a PSP, when I can go out and play Lumines and Metal Gear Acid on my PS2 today! Great!!
DS has potential to offer unique experiences. Well, until this idea comes into fruition (I mean, ABF himself said that Nintendo can only do so much itself..) it's really a moot point. The PSP's more powerful hardware can also offer so much more than what the DS can offer. But wait, that's a bad thing.
