the gamegear was sidelit.
i think that for the portable market... hardware supremacy isn't as important as it is for the home consoles.
the gameboy has smashed all competing handhelds... all of which have superior hardware (neo-geo pocket, ngage, gamegear, wonderswan, lynx etc.). still, i think the psp is the stiffest competition since the gamegear.
i'm just not interested in watching movies on a psp... it's a neat feature, but i know that if i had a psp i wouldn't use that very often. i've got a portable dvd player that doesn't get much use. also (i'm probably in the minority on this), but insanely detailed 3-D graphics aren't a big selling point either. other than the "gee-whiz" appeal... i just don't see myself trying to play halo or mgs on such a little screen for extended periods.
maybe all that'll change... but when i think of how i use portable systems and how i want videogames to progress, the DS seems like the more enjoyable system.
