Here’s some food for thought. I was just sitting here thinking about the competition that Sony has going on with Nintendo right now in the handheld market. If you haven’t figured out what I’m talking about, it’s PSP vs. DS. Let’s do some thinking.

- PSP has superior graphics compared to DS.

I’m not going to get any further into details when comparing these two machines. I know they both have their pros and cons. But we aren’t going to focus on that. We are just going to look at what I stated above. We all know two things that fall under this. One is a statement; the other has to do with technology.

It has been said by Nintendo, on more then one occasion that graphics is not their top priority. They are more concerned about gameplay, adding something new to the market.

This is not fact, but has been said by a couple of reliable websites, that Nintendo does have true GameBoy successor in development and it’s been in development for some time. Simply put, the mini GameCube.

So here is the thought. What if Nintendo intentionally put the DS on the market to see if people (gaming market) are truly obsessed with graphics, instead of innovation? This points toward the Evolution. What if the PSP outsells the DS? Nintendo sees this and decides to go ahead and start focusing on the graphics part of their console system a little more. They realize that the majority of the gaming public are nothing more then a bunch of little graphic whores (like me).

I know what some of you are thinking. The handheld market is a different market then the console market. Well, yeah, I don’t agree with that. Everybody that I have met that has a handheld, also has some kind of console. So in my opinion, everybody that owns a handheld, also has some type of console. It doesn’t even have to be the recent consoles, just a console.

It’s just a thought, nothing really serious that I stand behind. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands.

Whoa… I’ve impressed myself. This is the most I’ve posted in a long time. And I have to change that stupid signature (oh well, just too lazy too)

Go ahead and call him immature when he is playing Nintendo. I'm sorry that you aren't secure in yourself. But you go right ahead thinking Sony and Microsoft make you a big grown up.
