422 mouse clicks is much?! Go watch the APM for say Grubby in WC3 or whatever korean in Starcraft and then come back and talk about the amount of actions. Thought their games really ARE RTS, isn't Civilization turn based?
Many(?) of the games you mention exist on other platforms to, some probably arrived on another, and nothing say they will remain sony exclusive forever (if they aren't made by Sony and they really want that ofcourse.)
Final fantasy was a Nintendo game, 1-2, 4-6 exist or will exist for the GBA, 3 for DS, also crystal chronicles. Someone had already answered with dragon quest for wii. I know metal gear solid exist for Gamecube, some virtua fighter game aswell.
Kick ass, here the regular lowest price for Internet is 200 sek, TV starts of at 159 sek or something around that and I pay 75 sek for my voip with free calls to regular phones in sweden. 434 sek or 46 euro. And that is terrestial digital tv not over the Internet. Also those 200 sek with xDSL might be so low band width that the phone doesn't work;)
You can probably get xDSL more or less everywhere in Sweden but of course speed will warry depending on how long from the telephone station you live, there was ideas to build a fiber network to almost everyone (as many as have electricity) ~5 years ago but that was scrapped for whatever reason, probably because DSL picked up.
Of course ethernet/fiber connections is limited to different areas but if you live in any of the larger cities I don't think it's that hard to find an appartment which has it even if 100% of all the appartments in every city doesn't have it.
Oh, so you people are the ones to blame for DSL? If it wasn't for you guys our government might had invested 50.000.000.000 sek in fiber for everyone, but since the market forces started to pick it on themself with DSL they have only invested like 5.000.000.000 and people are sitting there with their shitty 1mbps upload.
Stupid government, over 20-30 years time fiber to everyone would be worth it, the cost per month in that perspective isn't much.
Numbers such as these doesn't tell shit anyway, here in Sweden the official numbers are probably lower but that is just because they don't count people in projects, sick people, people who are retired early and so on, I think that among the people which is in working age 1/3 or so really doesn't work. Sweden is fucked up.
I don't know what you mean with protocol level, but if you mean some form of "application protocol" I'd rather have it on transport protocol level, let me encrypt everything to the people i know (and not aswell i suppose) and trust (with signatures) =P
My first thought was "they even almost got the price right!" thought they would of course sell many more movies with a price of say $4 or $5 but anyway, but yeah, even if the price was right and the copy protection wasn't there, they still made sure it wouldn't work since they only will release things they themself consider is SHIT.
Exactly, what does he know anyway? Sure it's popular to bash Sony nowadays and I kind of like it but there can be to much of everything, and the Sony bashing is rapidly ending up with to much now, especially true if you read many gameing web pages.
Anyway, no, this guy doesn't know more than you and me and he can't predict the future so why should we trust him with the PS3 coming out third? Imho it's not that more expensive than the xbox360 and you get free online gameing (I think?), a next gen DVD player which will probably be successful; atleast if they get the codecs right, real HDMI output, wifi, probably more hardware potential and finally backwards compatibility.
Also quite many families in the world probably doesn't earn even $600 in a month, thought that's probably not the market Sony is after, to begin with they probably doesn't have a HDTV-set or buy lots of movies and games anyway.
I really want Wii to come out and top and chances are large it will do, it will lack lots of third party support since the companies have been so ignorant against Nintendo, but their own Zelda: Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime III comeing out at launch, and new Super Smash Bros and Mario Galaxy just afterwards is more than enough killer games to begin with and also atleast Unisoft understood something and will release their Red Steel.
And a half year or so from that when the others catches up and understand the console and release their games it will become even better.
This next gen Nintendo will have the lowest development cost and that probably means more games in general and more variation, it's probably one of the things which makes the DS have a better game library than the PSP: For the DS you can make a quite simple game with few resources and if it's good people will buy it anyway, but with the PSP you have to put more technical affort into it since the platform is more competent and the costumers probably demands better graphics and looks, so therefor developing a game for the PSP will be more expensive and since you can choose to either make a more advanced game for the PS2 with over 100 million units out or say 10 million PSPs the developers put their risky titles on another system instead and gives the PSP mostly ports of titles they already know are popular.
Also there is no "omg all games must be 3D!!" on the DS, and I like it;), hand made 2D with lots of love is still the shit:)
On the other side it sells a little better in the US and a hell-of-a-lot-better in Japan to, thought of course many europeans have imported from those countries since we always get the goods last and for a much higher price:/
But isn't the DS lite white or black plastic with a transparent plastic cover? So if it's not deep scratches it wont come thru the transparent layer, and even if it does maybe the plastic are solid color and not just painted underneath?
From the begining the plan was to have all three kinds of systems, atleast that was what they said but maybe that was only to be able to cover up a failed DS launch if any. Now they have only said that there won't be any new Gameboys right now, I don't doubt it will return, maybe the DS was more of a tech demo/test for a future Gameboy? DS with more competent hardware yes please.

lol!

Uhm, it is the real thing. Or well, drivers for the real thing, but anyway.
... now all we need is a dictionary for nudity and we could save a lot of bandwidth on the Internet!
So can't you just import it? Maybe used / from private person / as gift / .. ?

And so on.
It's not like we even know the larger part of the species which exists in the seas to begin with. (I guess, but it's very probably right.)
Because people notice the advertisment?
Also XP doesn't crash, and regarding malware and pwnage it's party user error.
Yeah, who would like to look for a hole and report it just to have it fixed?
No, then their current modell is much better, find a hole, report it and have it ignored by Microsoft for the next couple of months/years.
Ähum, isn't it 512MB built in flash memory + sd-card slot + usb? 4GB SD is around $100 isn't it?

You could fight with swords on NES to, and atleast it will be better than that, but yes, it won't be for real, who could have guessed?

But how much larger is the CPU than the regular ones?
No, only the gyro is a last minute addon to compete with a brand new foe ;)
The one race to rule them all! ;)

Althought the DS can be overclocked to atleast 113+57MHz from original 66+33MHz, see this thread at chipper.se and also this movie on a DS running at 100MHz.
PSP got some sort of standby/pause to, I don't know how it works but I think it works good.
But with the PSP it's kind of needed, and note, this is not the worst case scenario, even thought it's pretty bad: DS vs PSP.
