FYI, JMX is not a JBoss technology, but rather a Sun JSR Specification. Perhaps the most telling point is that JBoss's name doesn't appear anywhere in the working group [jcp.org] for the JSR. Claiming or attributing responsibility for such technology is a bit disingenuous. Especially since several other app servers (e.g. WebSphere and Sun J2EE) use the same technology.
I don't see how the statement you quoted implies that JBoss was involved in creation of JMX. Being based on JMX implies only one thing: its based on JMX. I think you are reading more into the statement than is actually there.
I have been riding public transportation to/from work for the past 9 years. I rarely see any adults playing portable game systems. I am an avid adult gamer myself and I don't own a portable system. Of the other adult gamers I know, only 1 owns a portable system.
The market for adult portable gaming may be bigger than in the past, but I don't think the market is big enough to support the PSP. You have to be pretty serious to spend as much on a portable as you spend on your PS2. But I don't think many people do "serious" gaming on the go. They save that when they can sit down and have dedicated time. Gaming on the go is more casual and interruptable. I don't see why a device at less than half the price and twice the battery life can't serve that purpose.

It designed for a PC, so it won't be coming out for a PS2 or XBox. FFXI was designed for the PS2 first, then ported to the PC.
