Well if the console/handheld market crossed over so wel don't you think the sales of the Cube would have been better?

No, I think GBA is the second priority compared to the Cube... and I think handheld sales reflect ther console counterpart, not the other way around. Now, the reason GBA doesn't reflect the GCN is simply because
Sony hasn't enterd the handheld market yet.

I don't see why everyone is comparing the PSX/N64 situation with the GBA and well anything.
Even though Nintendo was the market leader, they were entering the console market on somewhat equal footing as Sony since they were releasing a new console as well.
In this case, Nintendo's console is long out and has an establisted fanbase. It's gonna take a helluva an effort to get their fanbase plus the support of developers.
I mean logically speaking, would a developer develop for a handheld with an install userbase of 35 million or one with none? Will gamers buy a handheld with a couple of games or go with one that has over a thousand?

you are as ignorant as Nintendo if you believe this...
Also, I'm not saying PSP has a chance of outselling GBA overall, but it has a chance of beating it month to month, and even worse, beating out Nintendo's next handheld release.
By your moronic logic, why develop games for GCN if the Psx is out there with an 100 million person userbase??? Any reason you could give for GCN in this case, I could give for the PSP... so take your logic and flush it.

Handheld and console has for the most part pretty much remained seperate. Even though Nintendo fell from grace somewhat on the console side, their handheld has always done well, and it's not for a lack of competition. In it's time The GB in all it's forms has dealt with many handhelds the Nomad, GameGear, Game.com, Atari Lynx, WonderSwan and many others.

When has a company with a
bigger name in the
Console industry came and competed with Nintendo in the
Handheld industy? Never. The closest thing was Sega, and Game Gear didn't do terrible, it just didn't win, just like Genesis vs SNES, didn't to terrible, but didn't win.

Also what part of the market will Sony grab? The GBA unlike consoles seems to go past age or anything. I mean you will see little kids, teens, adults, everybody using a GBA or one of it's forms.

the same part Psx grabbed when games were supposed to be "just for kids"
Also, if you haven't noticed, kids like mature games more than cartoony games... so if it remains a kid-only market Sony still has a chance.
