Meet the Playstation Pocket - Aka: PSP

[Krizoitz]

i personally think the DS is going to drain Nintendo more than anything...it's a NOVELTY portable!!! Two screens? For what? It will only confuse me to see a 1st person view of my running back on screen 1 while i watch him in 3d on screen 2, give me a button to change perspectives and save the battery life. That and the fact that I don't see anyone really innovating with the screen, sure they'll use it for menus and what not, but it's not like it'll be a whole new game, just far more content on two little screens. I'd personally rather see one large screen. People are also commenting on how the DS is targeted at adults...with Mario? he was cool when i was 6 but after Mario Sunshine? Get lost. I'm not buying a portable just to play Metroid (i almost bought the cube just for metroid tho!)

First, its not a novelty, its something new and refreshing. Instead of the status quo they are trying something new and different.

Second, just because Mario doesn't have big boobs or a big gun doesn't mean he doesn't appeal. Also, no one said that Mario was going to be the ONLY game, why not make games of all kinds so that the system will appeal to everyone. Gosh it doesn't have to be ONLY for adults, and adults aren't all going to be interested in the same thing.

You don't want to buy it, fine, get a PSP, but my guess is that Nintendo has learned its lesson from the PlayStation and will make sure the DS and GameCube stay competative.
