How do you even know Sony PSP will "own all"... have you seen it? know what games are coming for it? does Sony have a good track record with portable game systems?

Just another example of the "lemming effect" these Sony PSP advocates have. Proof is in the pudding my friend, we shall see.

Maybe a better statement would be "I hope Sony does as well as Nintendo has done the last 15 years."

How I know PSP will destroy DS. Sony has more money to market it. PSP is aimed at Teens/adults for obvious reasons. Nintendo is aiming this at kids, and how many parents are really going to re-buy this? Almost every kid 4 and up have a GBA/GBA SP. Any adult that buys DS is sad and trying to relive their childhood in the future by playing babyish games that have been remade too many times. Since this is aimed at kids how smart was it to put touch screen in there? Those screens are so fragile its not even funny. Example, drop your PDA, what usually happens? The screen goes black. Kids are clumsy, they will drop it. Nintendo will go through hell replacing those screens, eventually dropping the touch screen or stopping DS production unless they are stupid. Again babyish or remake games! Agh so bad. one stop point is battery life, that is one thing nintendo does well. (and price of course)

PSP should and looks like it has a stronger fan base (PlayStation junkies). Strong games line up, even if its small. GT4, Twisted Metal, Metal Gear... Etc. No one knows PSP's price yet. Who knows, it may be $200? Maybe it will be $299? You never know.

How I know PSP will destroy DS.  Sony has more money to market it.  PSP is aimed at Teens/adults for obvious reasons.  Nintendo is aiming this at kids,  and how many parents are really going to re-buy this?  Almost every kid 4 and up have a GBA/GBA SP.

Nintendo will continue to market its popular Game Boy Advance SP ($80) alongside DS. The two products, he says, are aimed at different markets: Advance is designed to appeal to early teens; DS is expected to draw 18- to 20-year-olds.

Any adult that buys DS is sad and trying to relive their childhood in the future by playing babyish games that have been remade too many times.

:whistle:

I don't even know what to say about that.

Basically your whole post could be summed up as this;

"Blah blah blah kids, blah blah blah babyish, blah blah blah they stupid, blah blah blah Playstation is cool so there."

Your clearly a nintendo fanboy.. I have a gamecube, n64, GBA SP, gb pockey, gb, gb color, snes, nes. They did great until gamecube. They just, flopped since gamecube game out. All the stuff they do is just retarded. They ruined mariokart on gamecube, and luigi's masion? Wtf are they thinking? Mario Sunshine? More pokemon? The only thing nintendo has done right IMO is metroid, that was the reason I bought gamecube. Metroid is awesome, but other than that nintendo is dead to me. If you look at DS's line up there is no way in h3ll it is aimed at 18-20yr olds.. No way. Nintendo puppy... come on!

i want a ds... i have no interest in a psp..i don't know when i will be able to afford either of them.

psp will do well, because most people think like liquid. what he says is what he believes, and if nintendo can't sway his thinking, they probably won't win this handheld war. if the majority thinks and acts like he, that is the market that should be sought after.

Nintendo have problems getting enough screens for there DS, it looks more clunky.. I think people are getting a bit sick of a new Game Boy every year. Atleast if sony take over we could have the PSP for 2 - 3 years without some PSP-SP-DC-v2 .. :rolleyes: Plus PS2 games rock and to be able to play same games we all love on PSP! well no more needs to be said except PSP + Sony will own GB-DS + Nintendo.

[EDIT] The Nintendo DS is aimed at 18 yearolds :huh: Nintendo are crazy that design is worse then the N-Gage.

I'm going to play the waiting game on these handhelds. Ever since they've been announced, I've had no interest in either one of them, but I'm sure I'll end up getting at least one of the two. Just depends on what handheld offers the most engaging games (regardless of what age group they're aimed at)

      How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.

      This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount

      By Steven P. · Posted

      GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse). GEEKOM X16 Pro at GEEKOM U.S. for $1,119.67 was $1,349 (17% off) Use coupon code NWGBX1617 when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2.
