The problem is mainly Nintendo's strategy rather than the machine itself. I think the machine is great, but the thing is, if they trickle games like molasses, and won't be online until later this year, the timing is totally off, and allows the PSP too much catch up time. Once they make a foothold, its a bad thing enough. That being said, Nintendo's strategy seems to be one of staking its bets more on luck rather than making the sure kill - which for a company that claims to follow the Art of War, does not seem to be very adherent, at least from what we can observe.
Sure, Nintendo is still the most profitable gaming company, but every time it looses market share, the waters get a little more dangerous.
