I guess nintendo is getting a bit fed up with Sony.

I used to think video games were all about the gameplay (and I still do)but I noticed a lot of people on these forums always talk about game graphics and only using monster cables to hook up their systems to get the best possible picture. So it would seem that not everyone is all about the gameplay. Although I think the PSP looks pretty sharp it really doesn't offer up anything new in terms of gameplay mechanics. I think the PSP will sell well just on it's sleekness alone. I will probably pick one up down the road when the price comes down. It's just interesting to hear these comments. I think it is cool that Nintendo is trying something new...it will be interesting to see how it plays out. It seems to me though that the gaming industry will always be big enough for both companies to do well. It certainly isn't shrinking.
It always seems funny to me that some people side with certain companies when it comes to video games. I have always just stuck with what works for me. It is obvious that both companies have their strong points. Plus if you really break it down the GC, XBOX, and PS2 really aren't that different. You can get almost all the same games for each system. Yeah Xbox is a little stronger graphically but there isn't much more of a difference (1st party games aside) from system to system. I do have a PS2 and a Gamecube and I just buy the games I like for each system or whatever one I can get the deal on. Works well for me.
It's nice to see Nintendo working on something fresh. It seems weird to bash the PSP though. Being this is Sony's first handheld it would be pretty crazy for them to try something radical like the DS when they don't have the years of handheld expierence such as Nintendo.
What are you guys thinking about this?
