Sony To Release PSP Handheld Console In 2004

JayBonci writes "According to News.com, in a news conference before this year's E3, Sony announced its plans to release a new gaming handheld called PSP, slated for release late next year. Presumably, this would be to compete against Nintendo's Gameboy Advance, a clear winner in the handhelds department for years now. The games come on a new media format, half the size of a CD or DVD, holding 1.8 gigs. Other Gameboy competitors such as the Neo-Geo Pocket Color have suffered from small game libraries and the inability to get over the GBC/GBA's entrenched marketshare. Despite all of this, Sony isn't SNK, and obviously has a lot of muscle to push its way to where it wants to be. It will be an interesting fight."

    And my personal rating of each name:
    1) Fucking stupid
    2) Fucking stupid (but has a bit of a dirty ring to it)
    3) Fucking stupid and obvious

    Do I think Game Boy was a good name? No, that was stupid too. But there's no point in continuing the fine tradition of idiotic names as some sort of political statement.
