Saying that Nintendo is a poor company is just a poorly thought statement. Nintendo has almost always been pulling in double profit since the NES days, due to the Gameboy.

Even when Nintendo's consoles weren't selling well the Gameboy was always there to back them up.

Only Sony has just recently began to tap the handheld market, and I can't exactly say that it is going as well as Sony intended it would. UMD is basically a dead format, and a bunch of film studios have already backed out or will be backing out in the near future.

Sure, the Wii will barely have graphics better than current-gen systems (PS2, Xbox), but what the system lacks in power it will makeup for in gameplay.

I'd still call the PSP a success. Its the only handheld that has really given Nintendo some competition. Game Gear did alright for like a year, than fell off the map. The PSP is still going strong.

UMD video on the other hand...

Yeah I definitely wouldnt call the PSP a failure. I dont think it will end up like the Ngage or whatever it was. UMD is done though

Don't get me wrong, I love my PSP to death and it's only starting to get better as time goes on. I'm just not sure that the PSP is doing as well as Sony expected it to.

Most of my 3rd and 4th quarter game purchases have been going towards PSP games actually. Tekken Dark Resurrection, Loco Roco, GTA: Vice City Stories, Lumines II, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon Unchained, Power Stone Collection, Mercury 2 and maybe 1 or 2 more I can't think of at the moment.

I'm so fucking psyched for Power Stone Collection. I dont know why that game isnt more popular than it is. I can play that game 4 player for hours on end (im talking Power Stone 2 of course, but 1 is great as well)

yep Dreamcast was the shit lol. Guys, of course PSP isn't turning out like it was supposed to! Sony knows this. You see what that big screen has accomplished? Hardly anything worth calling notable. Dont' get me wrong it's a great portable system though. Although supposedly the figures say the system is selling ok, the games sure aren't, save for GTA and a few others. A lot of publishers are pulling out. Psp HAS BEEN the closest to take on Nintendo, but the sales don't lie. Come November when Portrait of Ruin comes out....own4g3!!!!

tempted to order one for xmas, due for release on 8th december in the UK unless it changes. I like the idea of being able to access so many of the older games
