That shows me nothing. I don't like Gran Turismo that much anyway so that doen't win the PSP for me.

Nintendo has the capability of releasing at least one game in each console generation that was head and shoulders above anything available on any other system regardless of the relative power of the system. Granted the now Microsoft owned Rare played a part in that in the past, but still Nintendo thinks in terms of ingenuity while the other two are just throwing as much power into the equation and initially seem to rely on style over substance. I too think the PSP will end up winning, but that may not necessarily be because it is the better of the two for gaming.

It's not a gimmick, at least they're trying something new instead of just making something powerful and boring.

I heard that the ds is a stop gap and that a gameboy advance 2 could be out after the pap i mean psp, which could run game cube discs , now that would be nice .

If they released a GBA2 soon after the DS people just wouldn't buy it, so developers aren't going to invest the time and money into creating for it. I would hope Nintendo would learn from Sega's past mistakes. The Mega-CD shortly followed by the Saturn shortly followed by the Dreamcast spelt the end of their hardware escapades. If you get into the game of trying to play hardware catch up you will surely fail.

I love the turn-based strategy/tactical games. Koei, SquareEnix and their ilk have made some goodies for the PSone/2.

It looks like everyone has dug their own trenches so lets instead transform this into a "classic game screenshot reminising thread".

Where did you learn about a GBA2???? This doesn't make sense what so ever. Anyway... I think that the DS will be much more performant. And creative than the PSP. PSP has bugs allready. Sony said they wouldn't change a thing about it. The DS and its mini games look very promissing to me. I don't regret one bit getting this DS.... I think that what you're going to get for your price won't entertain you that much.
The PSP is basically a Play station 2 that you can carry around. I have a PS2, and i really don't need to carry it around... :D

I dont think i could do a 24 hour endurance race in gt4 on such a small screen ! na im just pickin. i think they should make a crash helmet with a panaramic screen on the inside of the visor with built in 5.1 and motion sensors so that when you turned your head you could look out the side windows and shit . he e eeeee..

Nintendo is far too gimmicky. Example is there lastest installment of donkey kong. The DS is a one trick pony. Sure it might sound good on paper but in actuality it isnt going to take off.
They have lost touch with their fanbase. Proof? They are unable to follow trends and listen to what the fans want and give their new home council online capability.
The gamecube in compairison to other systems cannot standup to the compitition. The only thing they are doing well is the GBA. Good to see them releasing oldies on it. Hopefully they dont screw that up.

I think its revolutionary actually.
Heres Sony in a nutshell:
Ok, lets do everything we've done before, only with better graphics
Boooo, fuck that. Who the fuck wants to carry around little scratchable discs anyways? Cartridges > discs

lol@ virtual boy!
At least Nintendo gave it a shot. Although VB was pretty crap, but they were optimistic in the whole Virtual Reality market in general, which was unleased on the public too early. VR is something that just isn't practical yet, but I think it will be insanely popular and controversial in a few more decades.
Nintendo is a survivor. They always take 'fun' over 'flashy' and sometimes manage to get a good balance of both, like with the DS. They outlived and dominated companies like Sega, Atari, NeoGeo and whoeverthefuckmade TurboGraphix16. Which, years ago, were considered equals too (if not 'better') than whatever Nintendo was producing at the time.
Sony is just another pigheaded company that thinks they can dominate the video game industry (this is comming from someone who owns a PS2) as well as Microsoft (who will also fail miserably)
