But you are forgetting that the PSP lacks a second analog nub, which Sony itself invented (Dual Shock).
That has hurted the platform a lot. FPS cannot have the same configuration as in the consoles due to this. At least, the analog should be in the right side instead of the left side, where is redundant.
Mmm, ipods have a better GB/$ ratio, at least on the high end (between 6,7-10 US dollars per Giga). You can make a compelling case against the ipod nano (between 63-150 US dollars per giga) if you don't want more than 4 gigas.
However, probably the HD based ipods aren't as resistant as flash based devices.

Well, the language changes and evolves. It is so sad that moron was a technical term before. Now, its meaning is another. Whine all you want, but such is life.
I don't think so. It is just that Nintendo sometimes hates risks.
The problem with HD now, is that there isn't one standard. People have lots of different TVs that do HD at different resolutions.
And that just part of the market. About 10% of people now have HD displays. Yes, this can only grow, but the time isn't right for Nintendo.
I'm sure, that, by the time of Xbox 1080 (they jumped 720), Playstation 4 (Sony is boring) and Nintendo Apocalypse Now (People like ominous trademarks!) come, Nintendo will support HD, in whatever form the market has adopted as standard.
The OP said that those people were going to use web applications constantly. You are right, the customer always is right, yada yada yada.
But this is almost like buying a card, and when the salesman asks for your driver license, you reply "I don't know what you are talking about". Not "I don't have a license", but "I don't know what in hell is this license".
Dude, email is not technobabble anymore. My grandfather knows what it is, and he has never touched a PC.
You need to own a game to see a replay?!

Sheesh! What other bullshit will they come up with next? Maybe they will get this crazy idea that you need to own a game to play it!
(People are getting to sensitive about stuff. Yes, they could distribute a wmv of the replay instead, but blah, somehow I don't feel like downloading 15 megs of my friend last crazy crash.)
The gamepad is a brain damaged interface for anything except Soul Calibur, Final Fantasy and possibly Mario Tennis.
Yeah, that must be why the PC has lots of different genres, while in consoles the only games that you can find are RTSs, RPGs and FPSs. And, most FPSs are about WW2 or counter terrorism. How boring!
The playstation 2 has sold around 70-90 millions of units. Xbox has sold around 20 millions. That is hardly half a billion. Even less if you take into account that there are a lot of defective PS2.
Well, you can buy used games, if you think new ones are too expensive. Rent them, or try them at the stores.
Also, ask friends of similar tastes what games are good, or join an online community. The Penny Arcade Forums have lots of folks with different tastes, so you can find people like you, and ask them what to buy.
As a rational inquirer who is interested in my own role in the world, I am forever bound to the task of describing just what factors make me what I am.
Note to self: Excessive introspection may be stopping me from achieving higger goals. I will study this idea later.

1. What the hell took so long?
Probably the Opera team started playing Mario Kart DS when the devkits arrived, instead of actually working.
2. When are we going to see the first sensationalist news article about rabid child molesters preying on kids with Nintendos?
A couple of months ago there was one. Pedophiles could prey children via...Pictochat. Which has a range around 30 feet IIRC.

And they will be charging for that library. Which means $$$. Which also means that Sony will be competing against the discount bins of PS1/PS2 games.
The Revolution will only provide backwards compatibility with one console: the Gamecube.
Of course, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo will end up selling digital content.
Wasn't their previous attempt to rent CPUs a failure?
I remember an article in slashdot about how the Sun grid was completely unused.

Apparently, ESA tried to get some kind of arrangement with Illinois on this, but they couldn't. So, the only way out is a lawsuit, to set a precedent.
I believe this is worldwide, as the article mentions that the 1.000.000th user was in japan.
Also, Tony Hawk DS uses the wifi online thingy.
Sounds interesting. Could you share an example?

But, did you buy those Xbox games brand new, or were some used, some traded for older games?
I want to play Spore before I start to throw around praises for it.
That should fuck them up. They should be forced to keep selling those replace at affordable price.
And by affordable I mean the same price the discs were sold originally.
The logistics of that should stop them right on the tracks.
Also, Wikipedia says that the B&W version has a drop in difficulty, so you probably will want the Pokemon version anyway.
Is this some kind of cuteness allergy?
Because Panel de Pon has cute little girls, Tetris Attack has the cute Yoshi and company, and Pokemon Puzzle Challenge has, well, the cute pokemon...
Or is this just a Pokemon related hate?

I've always wondered about that.
Supposedly, Gamecube was the fastest selling console in its time on the UK.
