for all the fanboys out there

specs are meaningless. if specs were everything, xbox would be the dominant system. the ps2 isnt close to it in processing power.

dvd / divx doesnt mean it will have dvd. if they can squeeze 720 x 5(something, forgot the number) resolution out of a screen not capable of half that, i'll eat my shoe.

third party developers must learn how to develop for the system. they dont just wake up and make their games work, instantly. if it were like that, nintendo would have the same market share sony does in the console market.

more about specs. its one thing for something to be possible, its entirely another to implement it into a game.

//back to opinion

sony is fighting a terribly uphill battle. the gameboy already has a huge user base. developers already know how to develop for it. they know its number one. they know sony probably cant produce enough units in a year to catch up. that means the number one handheld through the year 2005 is likely to be the gameboy.

if you were a developer, what would you do? trust in something still being developed, or go with the proven one? i know where i'd be.
