I really want them to release the 2nd PSP version, they have waited way too long after Nintendo released the DS lite which we know was when they started winning the hand held war...

I don't know... PSP is only 2 years on the market. As for me it's way too early for lite version. What the lite version would offer? A new more modern casing is all I expect. PSP is already so small. The difference would be minimal. In my opinion winning status of DS is only because of games which fit to much broader audience. Lite version boosted sale for sure but the most important factor of DS success are games.

In a way I kind of agree with you on that. First of all let me say, the success of any system is its games.  Next let me just say it seems like everyone who had a regular DS sold it to a friend then bought a DS lite.

But anyway, you said, "In my opinion winning status of DS is only because of games which fit to much broader audience." I sort of agree with that. I have a DS lite and I love it and love the games for it (CURRENTLY PLAYING POKEMON!!!). The reason the DS is so popular is because its a perfect fit for what I believe most handheld gamers want: Either a much more simple port from a console game, a new or new sequeal simpler game, or remade classics. (Sometimes just streight classics, not edited)  The DS is made for that. I dont know about most of you, but I really hate the idea of playing a ported console game that does its best to be the exact same thing. When given the choice to play a big, good graphics, big storyline, etc, kind of game, I would take the console version everytime.  I prefer it. First of all it would most likely be better, and smoother.  When going to handheld gaming, I want something more simple, something that goes good for on the run, not something so big and advanced. Also something intuitive and/or just plain simple dumb fun is good for handhelds too, which the DS is also very good for.
