Quote:The GBA should be a strong competitor for the next year, anyway. With its sales base, and consistent game sales, you can't count it out yet, and it definitely helps Nintendo hold on to the portable gaming market... so yes, it definitely helps against the PSP. Is it enough alone? Not with the adult market for sure, but children, perhaps yes.
Please look at recent hardware sales figures in Japan.
Quote:hey sure seem to be trying that same strategy! Sega used it for the Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast... and of course it only worked in the first of those three cases. It also failed for 3D0, NEC (TurboGrafx), Atari, etc, etc... sure, most of those have other circumstances that helped with their defeat while MS is in much better shape. But still, I'm not sure why an early launch would help it have overall victory. There just is no trend that that is the case and I doubt it's going to start being that way now. It's just a short-term gain, and once Sony is in with a new console it'll be mostly erased.
Dude you're totally right again. The PSX coming out early and the PS2 coming out early totally didn't help them against the N64 and GC/XB, respectively.
Quote:My point was that it was more than 'a bit later'. Definitely more.
So your point is that my adverb wasn't strong enough?? Get a life!
