Quote:Well it obviously doesn't work the other way because the GBA sells likes crazy, but the GC is barely in second [or has it slipped to third?] place.
The GBA sells like crazy because it is the only good handheld gaming system out there. And the GC has been in third place since last year.
Quote:Ah, okay, but Nintendo has alluded to a new handheld being released, if they're smart [and I know sometimes it seems like they're not] they'll release it close to the PSP's release.
I hope that's the case, but will they have enough time to release it at the same time as Sony releases the PSP? And will it be comparable to the PSP, specs-wise? Another thing is that if Sony offers much cheaper licensing and production costs for PSP games than Nintendo does (Nintendo charges quite a lot for licensing and cart fees), then third parties will most certainly flock to the PSP, just like they did with the PS1.
One thing's for sure though, and that's that the PSP will be great for us Nintendo fans. Now Nintendo will be motivated to make all-new, original Gameboy games instead of just porting over SNES titles, so we'll probably get a new Mario game finally!
