N_A was implying that Nintendo should completely dominate the market by ousting the PSP from the Japanese market and follow suit with other regions.
They wouldn't be the first company to throw in the towel with a handheld. And Sony's only interest is profit.. cut too much profit and they cut ties. We haven't seen this with their gaming hardware, but we've seen it thousands of times with everything else they do.
Actually, I had only assumed that Sony has internal network support, I didn't realize it was essentially just a modem. But the process works similar enough for the I-Phone to take hold, though it would seem the DS would out-do Sony there as well. Free, internal network that everyone will be on, built in mic and, if a cam were to be released, the dual screens would allow the video of the person chatting on the top screen and the game on the buttom. This would work great for simple games to play while video-chatting. I say simple games because you would probably want most of the bandwidth devoted to the chat.
The Easter refference I believe is because the DS first hit major sales last Easter and has continued it's sales growth since.. or that Japan is more confused than I thought regarding pagan festivals. Either way, the giant bunny wins.
