They would want to be reasonable close to the DS replacement launch. If they're a year late they could very well lose the market before they even get a chance to do anything about it. I suspect the hardware will be finalised sometime during this year, given the rumours about using IMG for their graphics chipset. They will probably want to release it in 2011 but they will probably be ready for late 2010 just in case.

Interactive recipe books? That actually sounds like a very good reason to get a DS XL! Haha, I never thought I'd get a handheld this time around...

Yes. Being ready just in case can make sense, but Sony must bite the bullet about that, Nintendo rules the portable market and decides when a generation really begins. Sony should be humble and content itself of 2nd place for PSP2, but with a much better tie ratio, unless Nintendo completely botches DS2.

About food supplies, it's my curse, if I go shopping without a list, and, worse, when I'm hungry, I end up with a completely wrong assortment, usually sausages and cured meats, sweets, cheeses, yoghurt, soft drinks and only bananas, shallots and cherry or grape tomatoes as vegetables and fruits and little else, usually some frozen pre-fried junk (luckily cherry tomatoes, garlic or shallot, chilli pepper and olive oil are enough for the simplest and healthy, but tasty, sauces for pasta)

I don't think resigning themselves to 2nd place would be the correct attitude. If I were them I would try to win the market, its just not the right approach to aim for anything less than first place. If they fall back to a close or far second then sobeit, they tried! I suspect a large proportion of their assets they have will be diverted to making first/second generation handheld games to get the system moving. So the games on the PS3 ought to dry up after this year somewhat.

As for your grocery shopping, well you got problems! You need a girlfriend to do the shopping for you! Thats what I do...

Currently I'm single and I still live at my parents, but I'm often alone. And even when I was not single, I'm a better cook (when I want and I have time) than most of my former girlfriends, so the solution would have been maybe healthier but quite dull regarding taste (once I even had a gf from Naples, where they cook really good, but she must be the only woman from there that doesn't cook pasta "al dente", yuck!).
