Sony will probly move up to handhelds before Microsoft, they've already miniaturised the PS1 with a built-in screen and aren't far off to a handheld. Xbox is Microsoft's first real system and still have a ways to go before they shrink that mammoth-sized system down to a hand sized. We also have systems like the Phantom and such coming out (Xbox 2?) and they will make the systems of today obsolete. I think that the older systems have some of the best games created and will have some more customers for years to come. PS2 has indeed made PS1 obsolete since it can act as a platform for both games, I'm even going to sell my PS1 on E-bay though I doubt anyone will take it, it's had such a beating.

well first off.....the phantom will never see the light of day.why?you ask......because it's really just a smaller version of a pc with broadband in it and you don't buy games you download them......it'l probably only have games which are already on pc.......and PS3...don't bet your money on it......Xbox 2 will wipe the floor with PS3 and any other console that is thrown at them.if there was ever a gamecube 2 i'd assume the creater was mentally ****ed up or had nothing better to do.in summary i'd buy a xbox 2 and laugh at all the people who are waiting for the phantom(if it ever comes out)and all the people who wasted their money on a PS3.i don't really give a shit if PS3 has backarwds compatibilaty cause i never had a PS2 or 1.
