The PSP won't fail for one reason...it has the name Sony attached to it. What is in 8 out of every 10 homes? A Sony Ps2. As for Sega and Atrari and all the other handhelds they had one serious strike against them.....NO SOLID BRANDNAME. Hence Forth everybody had a nintendo so Nintendo gameboy was the thing to own. Now here comes Sony, The new leader in the console market making their own handheld and since everybody knows the name of sony it'll sell. And if you try to compare the fact that everybody knew the name sega Nintendo had a stronger console to back it up. (Snes anyone?) It was easy for Nintendo back then because their main competitor was Sega whose name was not as well known as their own.
Second off Sony is scoring points again for aiming it at a larger market then just children. The PSP will be USB compatible for your PC and has Mpeg4 video quality...as in DVD picture.
Also you forget the gullibily of children as a whole. Nintendo releases the GBA and then a few years later release the GBA SP. Now, kids who have a GBA want the latest and greatest thing. With Sony's name behind it, what should be great graphics for a handheld, and a immense 3rd party line-up how can Nintendo no see them as a threat to their handheld business. Sony knows how to market their products and if Nintendo isn't worried then they're in for some serious trouble.
