    The DS has slightly more processing power than the Nintendo 64 console released in 1996

    sounds cool, will hopefully prove that nintendo are still the greatest GAME console company out there. There consoles have always focused on what they do best - gaming which is why they have always been ahead of the competition who try to make them multi functional =)

    The dual screen doesn't seem that useful, suppose I'd have to have a go and see tho.

    Yeah, that really is ugly Hope they change it quick, or else we can just pray the games are addicting enought for you to not even notice how the console itself looks

    Nintendo is a synonym for number 1, has always been, and I do not see the winds changing for them yet...

    Do people think that the PSP will do better than the DS?

    Hard to say... none of them will appear in the nearest time, and their exact specifications isn't out yet as what I know. I don't believe we'll have the awnser to that question before we see both of them on the shelves... It's the sort of product you really would have to feel with your own hands to judge I think.

    you got a point there... and I have great faith in Nintendo. But Sony won't give up too easy. And as always techonlogy moves fast, battery and load times might be good enought, though there are some issues you won't get away with when using CD/DVD instead of casettes... I'd say the media really gives Nintendo an advantage. Still only time will tell

    That the PSP then 5lab?

    I dont think the gameboy DS looks at all bad, infact i quite like it. I reckon that the nintendo will do better as its $100 cheaper according to the article. That'll be a big factor in sure as it can do the same functions as the PSP. With the exception of lower quality graphics, in theory. may look nice on that screen.
