*buzz* WRONG!

They may all have similar characteristics but they are enitirely different at that. The Game and Watch was the first form of hand held gaming introducing the popular 80's character Mr Game and Watch. The first game boy was bulky and colorless, the gamboy color was lighter and in color with better graphics, the gameboy advanced allowed game cube connectioin for multiplayer purposes for such games like Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. The nintendo DS allowed touch control which opened up a new side of nintendo gaming and text messaging.

So do NOT state all of thema re the same. Because yet again, you have proved your own stupid ignorance to me.

And don't go "NOO! CALM DOWN!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!" because if ou are going to do that at this point you should have learned by now what makes people go off.

And ONCE AGAIN you did not listen. I did not say that ALL of them were the same. I said that most of them(That means the mojority of them) are the same. And by this I meant that GB color, GB advanced and GB advanced sp are ALMOST(<<< this word means not quite but very nearly) the same.

No actually you said a lot of them, the concept is close enough to "all."

And don't plead quotes with me, you know what you said so don't accuse me of being ignorant of your words.

Both of you shut up. :)

Nintendo has 75% of the handheld gaming market supposedly because they have been in the handheld industry for much longer than Sony, so stating that like it's evidence to like Nintendo better is like an old man teasing a baby.

We are not talking about handhelds here for Christs sake, they are an entirely different subject.

I might add that Sony's first console mopped the floor with the competition, and was easily the best of gen at the time. (and don't bring up the dreamcast because that was out-of-gen/halfgen)

If I remember right, nintendo have never had that kind of success. They've never been number one. Only back when they first started and there was no competition were they ever the leaders. Megadrive overtook the nintendo consoles, playstation overtook the n64, and PS2 overtook the Gamecube, which only barely managed to grab the spotlight for a while with Resident Evil, which was a refreshing break from the millions of boring garishly coloured samey arcade style games, and then of course a little later the XBox came along and beat the merry jesus out of all of them.

So really I don't think you can look at Nintendo and say they're a major competitor. Sony and Microsoft are the real superpowers here, and they also both have a history of overtaking the competition with their first consoles.

I don't care who makes more money than who. The Revolution is the only console that has engaged my interest so far and will probably be the only next gen that I buy. Unless double fine makes games that don't come to it, that is.
