Enjoyed reading this thread! Especially all those fanboy comments. I have had so many systems throughout the years, but when I get a new one, I normally sell the old one! Wish I hadn't now....
Here in Germany, it came quite calmy, imo. They are in the shops, but noone is really playing them. There are big piles for sale in my local saturn.
I reckon they will both succeed! I know I'll get both, and am sure most adult gamers will be the same. The PSP will come down in price, but already it ain't that expensive for what it is. The graphics and screen (and looks) of the psp will win people over, even though most of the new games are just remakes (fifa2005, a new metal gear game, wipeout fusion- people might ask 'why pay so much money to play a game we already have'?). But people will buy the sony. Kids will want the sony-they will want to brag they have the 'best' machine, and there is no doubt the psp looks better! The DS is really coming up with innovative games, and nintendo will use these bizaare features. I am sure that the next ds zelda game will see you whistling an ocarina tune, or stroking zeldas hair in an orgy of pre-coital frenzy as Link finally mates with zelda and we can have the 'child of Link/zelda' game/sequal we've all been waiting for! Well I have anyway.
But whether 3rd party developers will use these features remains to be seen. If it's a straight port to the ds, they might not bother!
Anyway, when you are playing your burnout 7 on the psp, and Nontendo releases some incredible new Zelda adventure, and you can buy the game and the console for £130/ 170 euros, you are going to do it, no? I will!
Plus the news that nintendo making the ds internet playing compatible is fantastic, it'll make sony do the same!!!
The future is amazing, they'll both be churning out great titles, multiplayer, (although too many sequal
), and we'll all end up owning both of them!!!
Plus the GP32.
It's great to be alive! Thankyou, and good night!!!
PS. Am such a gamepark fanboy
