You can play roms on GBA
It certainly does to me.
I mean,just about every game on every system I enjoy playing on the go and under one roof?
Can you run PC-Engine/CD/SCD,MegaDrive,SNES,Neo-Geo,CPS/CPS2,Wonderswan,Gamegear,NGPC,NGCD,Lynx,or SMS roms on either of the two aforementioned systems?

SNES, Megadrive, SMS and I think PC-Engine at least. Not sure about Wonderswan or GG. ScummVM can I know that.
Anyway, GP2x and a laptop can do the same thing.
So can an Xbox.
Its not really relevent to the situation here.

Laptops and Xboxes are about as portable as portable potties,lolz.
GP2x is a fucking joke. The thing takes AA batteries and guzzle them down like cheap beer. Plus,there aren't any real software available for it and there will never be!
I'd much rather have ports and shovelware than no-ware :chimp:

22 million sold. Pfffft. Way to trust a fanboy website. And sure I want sources. Especially when I follow sales from month to month from actual websites that cover it properly.
Seriously
Here is the breakdown of the main markets of the world.
NPD US LTD sales for DS & PSP as of August 2006 with the ds selling a 3 to 1 ratio now.
(North America)
NDS: 5.842 million
PSP: 5.019 million
Japan its likes 11 million DS
3-4 million psp
Europe its about 6.2 million DS
4 Million psp
5 + 3.5 + 4 = 12.5
22 - 12.5 = a differential of about 10 million.
I have no idea how they got those numbers.
Its no matter though, its software that counts that sony tries to make money on since they dont make anything on hardware or still lose money. And its piracy/shovelware that is killing the platform. I can buy nearly everything on that system that is on the ps2. Its a great little system hardware wise and I love the versatility of it. But over all I own about 5 games for the thing. I own 27 DS games.

They are quoting another place who interviewed someone. They didn't pull them out of their ass. If they did I wouldn't have believed them. Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, may be confused about shipped and sold. Which could defintely be the case since in July they annouced 20 million shipped IIRC.
I agree, but I don't think anything will change. A lot of developers have complained about software sales (I'm looking at you EA) yet they haven't done anything to change it. They still port games from the PS2 or systems made years ago.

I'm nto sure if the DS is metrosexual. I can't speak for people on these game boards, because most of them are adult-children, but I have never seen an adult with a DS.
I personally only have a PSP and have never played a DS, so draw your own conclusions.

I don’t think it’s a matter of giving a fuck. I just like to get behind companies and people who are trying to do new things. It’s a standard that I can use, and draw ideas from. Nintendo falls into this category. And I think they deserve to succeed whereas I don’t think Sony has put the effort forth and therefore shouldn’t have the success that they have had in the past. Granted they have produced a few gems but they are few and far between. Not to mention the gems that they have produced is what makes a good company. New ideas. SOTC was an excellent example. And it all starts with a couple simple questions.

I value pretty much anything that draws on the very basics of what makes things great. As in my opinion people have lost them in the face of greed. Ive said this a hundred times in tons of posts in all kinds of subjects. Im hardly a fanboy as I look at both sides of the coin.

Not really sure what your definition of a grown man is. I have seen a lot of young adults play the ds. I’ve also seen young adults play the psp. But both were around the same age and looked roughly the same on a maturity level etc.

i once saw a husband, wife, and their kid sitting in the food court of the mall all playing different DS games. i've also seen a couple of middle aged guys playing brain age here and there. so it's catching on, might only be on a small scale. but it's spreading to people who wouldn't normally be seen as the videogame typewasabi said:
