I've noticed all your PSP threads, with some saying it's gonna be the best and stuff like that.

So i've started a GameBoy 2004 thread, where you talk about next years portable.

Here's the facts:

- Nintendo have patented the idea of downloading media, such as music, games, movies and pictures, from a home-console or PC to a portable, gaming device. (NOTE: PSP doesn't have a hard-drive where you can download stuff onto it - with this patent, i assume the new GameBoy does)

- It most likely will be 3D, such as the PSP and N-Gage. It could also use new Panasonic technology, and have what PSP has - a cartridge with a disk in it.

- It will link up to Nintendo's N5 (N5 is the project name of Nintendo's next console - i hope the actual name will be NINTENDO DOLPHIN)

- It will most likely do alot better than PSP, and N-gage, as it's got the warehouse of games, and in theory, it comes out before the PSP. If PSP is a huge flop in Japan, it will make it to the USA, but if a flop again, most likely won't make it to the UK and Europe. If Game Boy 2004 is a flop, it will make it to the UK and Europe as GameBoy sells tonnes over here.

This is my opinion: PSP has good specs, but i don't think it will sell. One of the best points of getting a GBA is that all my past games would work. That's why it sold so well. It was the same with PS2. I think Sony should have investited into creating extras to their existing consoles, like the camera thing, and not have made a new console

I don't like the idea of Nintendo releasing a new Gameboy every year. I can't keep up with them. However, this does sound like a cool system. I'll probably wait it out a few months after release. Look for the projected winner of the war between GBA2 and PSP. Then I'll buy that one.

I couldnt care less about the GBA2 or whatever its called....The GBA was a disappointment to me...They could have made it 3-D handheld but they didnt...Then they release the SP to make more money....
The PSP is what im getting next year...Hopefully we will see a GTA on it...that will make the price alone worth it...

SP wasn't aimed at people with existing gameboys - and it was released cos' many complained about there being no light.
I haven't got an SP - i'm waiting for the next one. PSP will sell some, but it will be the gamecube in the portable department - it sells, but not well.

and N-gage will be the X-box in the portable industry.

I like PSP's spec tho. They're really good. But they revealed them, which i thought was really dumb.
