Handhelds

anyone realize that the successor to the DS and possibly the PSP should be getting announced sometime this year?

most GB's were replaced after about 3- 4 years so a DS 2 would be coming in about 08

also I would love to go on the record and say that yes the PSP has made a dint in the DS's market share, as if there were no PSP the DS would have reached about 80 mil by now, like the GBA

and if MS announces a Handheld it would be compeeting with the DS2 and PSP2, got that?

makes sence to me, so why wouldnt MS be making one? its been in rumor long enough...

i was just thinking about this, but you are right, its bad busniess

Nintendo told us the DS wasn't the replacement for the Gameboy series of handhelds. Where is my next Gameboy? I want to play my handheld games with face buttons, like the PSP, like the GBA, like the original Gameboy. TekkenMaster606

its a damn pattern, and what makes me think that is the fact that the lifespan of the past Gameboys is about 3-4 years

somehow I knew you were going to say that

I concider a console dead when it gets its successor, sure it will get some games and you will still play it, but the companies focus has been put on the new console and sales and all that for the old console dont matter anymore

so where is the next GB.... or the new GBA games, or the advertisement of the GBA, can you even find a new one in stores anymore?

nintendo may not agree, but the DS replaced the GBA

You fail to take into account... GBA was followed by GBA SP, then the BACKLIT SP and Micro. And DSlite is only a year old.

Its still gonna be a long time before we see a new set of handhelds. I don't think MS is gonna get into the handheld market anytime soon, I'm sure they will eventually but just not now

Since both handhelds are aimed at different markets, the PSP has not dented the DS sales. The GBA actually has sold around 110 million and the DS is matching it. I say the DS successor probably will come out in 2010 at the earliest.Nintendo_Man

WTF 30 mil is hardly matching 110 mil

WTF do the remodels have to do with anything?! 

Where do you get your wrong figures from? It is already at 43 million and i just looked, now well ahead of the GBA at the same length of time:

Dont use VGcharts, they are sheep

and whatever, thats still half the sales of the GBA in the same amount of time...

The DS is already 15 million ahead of the GBA at the same amount of time, at this rate it will sell atleast 125 million, well ahead of the 110 million by the GBA at the same time.

Hrmmm alright, I'll tell you what! We'll exclude "remodels" as I explain the word "pattern" to you and how it DOES NOT apply.

Original gameboy came out in 89? IF we're going to exclude the remodels, then we can claim either GB COLOR or GBA was the "successor. Which places it at either 98 or 01. So... we have a lifespan of either 9 or 12 years for the original Gameboy. That's odd. I thought FOUR years was the pattern!

My point is, you can't establish a "PATTERN" from ONE console's lifespan. "GBA 01-04" is NOT a pattern. A pattern would be a CONSISTENT arrangement of dates. ONE console is NOT a reflection of consistency. There is no WAY you can make this assumption accurately based off of the lifespan of ONE handheld console, barring remodels.

So... WHEREtf do you see a PATTERN?

GBC was another platform, it had newly branded games in which couldnt play on GB, it played GB games so that was just backwards compatability..

and stop saying the GBA still gets support to this day, its not my damn point, my point is when nintendo makes a successor

That's... 3 years. 3 versus 4. The Count on Sesame Street should have explained the difference to you, kiddo. You're telling me the EXTENT of your far-reaching "pattern" is two samples that aren't even consistent, but rather "close". ALL THIS while the PRIOR system had a 9 year lifespan!

And you actually want to... argue this point?

Really?

Cause you can stop now and save a LITTLE face. Totally up to you.

Personally... I'd run with a better argument then that.
