That's the thing, though, man: that article did not claim otherwise. I read the article and was like...in a way, this is all true. One could receive the words negatively or positively as one chooses.
I own both. They're good at different things.
Quote from lolita: "Sure the PSP is used in other ways but it's goal was to compete with the DS and to get gamers since it is called a handheld console."
The goal was to make money with a portable console. The DS was just a feature of the landscape: the possible competition that was already out there. In a way, though, I think Sony is right -- and I think that Nintendo says something similar with the Wii -- that the respective consoles/handhelds do not have identical markets, though there IS a lot of overlap, and most of us are evidence of that.
Agreed, though: Sony has had sort of a scattered, schitzophrenic approach this gen. I do like all the firmware improvements on PSP and PS3, though.
