Just a few quick comments:
- The article pointed out the Nokia N-Gage's failure. It failed partly because it... well, sucked as a phone and game device, but also because it was far too expensive. People didn't buy it simlock free, and who wants a contract for their GameBoy? Nobody! They only shipped [Not sold!] 600.000 units, and even now it's not selling.
- Yes, Sony's PSP will be more expensive then a GameBoy, but gamers will pay anything for great games. The PSP promises PS2 quality games and video, and at $200 I'd buy one right now, sight unseen, based on the Sony brand name and the big publishers that will flock to it.
- Which brings us to my third point. You can't compare Smartphone games to GameBoy games. They certainly aren't 'better' with a few exceptions. Gamers don't want another ****ty Puzzle Bobble - we want brand names. Mario, Sonic, Half Life, Doom, Gran Turismo! Games sell platforms.
