Where is Lynx today? Looks like a back-light wasn't enough to get Lynx to get enough people to buy it and win the hand-held wars

Did you and "enuough" people buy a GBC without the back-light? Then it's justified that Nintendo left it out. That is the very definition of "justified."

Lynx doesn't have Pokemon. GB with back lit without Pokemon, would be dead as well. Pokemon revived the hand held gaming market for Nintendo. And I am sure Pokemon is still the best selling GBA title too.

Sony waited this long not just for technology, but to wait till Pokemon fad had gone away. Its foolish to go head to head with Pokemon.

yeah... which is quite sad if u ask me....

Sad ? what sad ? Pokemon ?

Then shouldn't Sony just can the PSP?

Far as sales numbers go the Pokemon fad is still going strong.

Yes it is, but they hope it would be towards the end of it. PSP is end of next year.

At this point psp is nothing but speculation and Hype, I will await the news to see what happens.

I'm more interested in how the next GBA, which Nintendo is working on right now, will compare to the PSP. Maybe it will use matrix ROMs.

Handhelds suck! I dont know why people want to play games even while walking....
