I think that many of the people who still play 'the classics' are ones who actually grew up with the games... They're fueled by nostalgia and familiarity...

I can pull out an NES/SNES game I played as a wee boy and still thoroughly enjoy it...
Yet when a friend or someone else recommends an amazing OL' SKOOL game that I just have to play, I find it extremely hard to get into...

Not sure if that's a fair comparison, as they're two different markets (The ability to have something to do 'on the go' can appeal to someone who might not really be interested in sitting around at home playing games, and they'd probably be the kind of consumer that's more inclined to spend 130 on a DS than 250 on a PSP), and, as a PSP owner, the DS admittedly has a lot more going for it than "a game about petting puppies"... And the PSP has a lot less going for it than it should...

Whereas PS3 will likely have the same, full-on developer support that the PS2 has, and Revolution... Welllll... That's up in the air for now...
