    I'm a Nintendo fanboy (though I have a PS2, Dreamcast, and a lot of other machines), but if this is a decent game, it could really be the PSP's killer app, the same way the original Final Fantasy 7 was for the PS1 (I actually bought a PS1 back in the day just to play FF7).

    FF7 is still probably the best loved game in the series in Japan and even if the PSP doesn't do well here, if it sells big in Japan the PSP can continue to hang on long enough for one or two killer (machine selling) titles to come through the pipe.

    Between the rumored price point and launch titles, the PSP looks like it can rival the DS. It's defintley trying to steal some of the thunder from the recent DS announcements. I'm not convinced that the PSP is worth my cash, but it certainly looks better than it did a few weeks ago, after the DS pricing and battery life and tons of screen shots came out.
