Default Re: PSP and long-term Third Party support IMO will be more than that of the DS

Ok let's form an defense for Nintendo:
1. Nintendo has a huge userbase with the GameBoy. People (especially young ones and old ones) will stick to what they know.

2. DS is backwards compatible, so you can instantly pick up 1000s of (retro) games AND sell your AGB while keeping the games.

3. DS is released slightly earlier than PSP.

4. DS is more of a 'revolution' than an 'evolution'. PSP has the potential of coming close to that, but DS has it standard (and here I'm mainly talking about the touch screen). Gamers will appreciate that.

5. Japanese instantly fall in love with gadgets.

6. DS has Pokémon. Have you seen the Pikachu demo?? Japanese will go crazy over that! Portable fun, wireless gameplay, innovation....
