From these specs, it almost sounds to me like Sony is competing against the PDA market (you know, those Palm Pilot hand held devices) rather than the Gameboy. Also judgin by these specs, I estimate a product like this would cost $300-500 USD today, and more like $200-300 USD when it is released.
That's not much memory for a PDA, but that will cut if for strictly portable gaming, MP3s and video. I wonder if some people will mistake the PSP for a PDA? It has a lot of the same features a PDA would.
The PSP is obviously built for gaming. But it's also built for portable multimedia, which is a direction I feel Nintendo will have to take if they want to survive in the portable market. But then again, anything other than gaming is not really what Nintendo is good at.
Meh. Whatever point I'm trying to get across, it isn't working. :bang:
