Could be rather dangerous.

But then again, last time they came out with something revolutionary (i.e. Game Gear), it failed.

Something that good is going to have to compete with the GBA price wise - and trust me, with specs like those, it most likely won't barring technological developments - if Sony hopes to poke at Nintendo's share of handhelds.

Game Gear was Sega, not Sony.

Game Gear was not revolutionary
the Sony name makes the difference, and they'll know how to sell it. I'm not worried for them.

I was referring to game companies in general when I said 'they'...

Game Gear was colour and released in the mid-1990s. Took a little while for the Game Boy to get that far.

I dont like it because it run 6 hours of battery life in game play vs 10 with light and 18 hours without light in gameboy advance and the prices can cost more than $200. The height of screen size is bigger than width. The screen size wasnt as big as game boy advance.

The good things about is it also have like wire less cell phone and listen to the radio and MP3.

In FAQ in few days ago, 58% of of votes thinks it will fail just like sega game gear. 3% of IDIOT votes think Beware Nintendo, Gameboy killer.

Hey Gregg ... while the Nokia N-Gage is certainly an interesting handheld gaming product that I'm looking forward to using as my next wireless phone (I have T-Mobile service, and they are said to be planning to support the N-Gage), this thread is about the Sony PSP, a more direct competitor to the GBA, and in my opinion, a much bigger threat to Nintendo's hardware sales than Nokia's all-in-one gadget.
