I don't know about that, DJ... looks do matter, and the Micro is by far the nicest looking Game Boy model... so people might think 'cool looking thing' first before they think something negative about the fact that the person is playing videogames. That's what Nintendo hopes, anyway, and to some degree at least it's working, going by reviews and sales... certainly the thing is functionally useless when compared to the SP (or, in most situations, the original GBA), but functionality isn't the most important factor for everyone. Particularly the not-exactly-hardcore-gamer market Nintendo is aiming at with this thing. :)
