An anonymous reader writes "There's a Wired News article up discussing the fight for handheld game console supremacy starting at next week's E3 Expo. According to Wired News, 'Nintendo, the biggest seller of video-game consoles 15 years ago, once again faces a tough street fight against Sony, the upstart that stole much of the video-game business with its PlayStation. This time, the fight is over handheld video-game machines, and if Nintendo loses, it could be in serious trouble.' It explains: 'Nintendo is expected to give peeks at its next-generation handheld system -- code-named the DS -- while Sony will release more information about its PSP. Both companies will be vying for the hearts and minds of gamers and -- more importantly -- software developers.' Who's gonna win?" Slashdot Games recently ran a related story that has developers and journalists analyzing the showdown to come.

I went to E3 last year... by Xhad · 2004-05-06 07:23 · Score: 1, Offtopic

...and one of the most memorable events was when I got separated from one of my friends and didn't happen to have a phone on me. I missed lunch and barely found someone from my group in time (I was the last to arrive and didn't know where my group's hotel was either!)
The reason? Nintendo had a bunch of their chicks walking around with GBAs strapped to their hips, and both me and my friend had happened to run into them at the same time.
Man am I sorry I'm not going this year. :(
