1.Nintendo's Handhelds have ALWAYS been dominated by first party software.

Sony's platforms are almost ALWAYS lead by third-party games. GTA, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Kigdom Hearts, and SO MANY OTHERS.

2.Sales for the GBA are huge... but the average GBA owner owns slightly more than 2 games.

3. I got this from an article.
(I'll try to find it later)

More than 50% of the GBA userbase is under 15 years old, and RELY ON OTHER PERSON to buy the handheld for them.

So even if you know 30 year olds that play the GBA... they are in NO WAY REPRESNTATIVE of the majortiy of the GBA userbase.

4. Sony is breaking into a STAGNATE, MONOPLIZED MARKET. This market had NO competion.

The untapped potential that lies in this userbase is greater than the one Sony tapped with the PS1 after the SNES vs Genesis generation. Sony will probably hit a gold mine that Nintendo has never even TOUCHED.

5. Last but not least the demograph of the PSP will most likely not buy a puny 2 games for their handheld. We can expect the number of games that the consumer will to be easily more than 6+ (Noting the average PS2 gamer owns over 12 games). This might yeild more units sold for the third-party developers even with a potentialy smaller userbase.

This is of course MY opinion. Discuss.
