Sony doesn't have to negotiate with developers like your Metal Gear reference. Playstation 2 is, and will continue to be the most attractive platform if you want to sell units of software. If anyone would have to make those type of negotiations, it would be Microsoft or Nintendo (like they did with Squaresoft).
And I don't think Sony is trying to steal GBA's audience as much as it is to appeal to a whole other range of people. The Playstation brand took gaming much more mainstream...I believe the same goals will be set for their venture into the handheld market. For example, if there are 40 million people worldwide willing to buy a handheld gaming machine today, they want the release and progression of the PSP to reach a broader audience, and capture say 30 million others who like the ability to play 3D games, or music and movie playing capabilities.
Oh, and Xantar...do you know how much a quality portable DVD player costs? :eek:
