[quote name='tdphillips']Also don't forget this thing has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-like wireless communications and a microphone. Think of it similar to a a Pocket PC/PDA in terms of its hardware, but also includes an extra LCD screen. Thinking of it this way, $200 seems reasonable. That still doesn't change my price point.
What I don't buy is Nintendo saying this is NOT a GBA successor. Why include GBA backward compatibility and compete with yourself by introducing a "true" GBA successor later?[/quote]
because its a cheap way for them to get more people to buy it. Just on this forum there have been many people that have held back of buying the gba cause of the ds. just because its not a gba successor doenst mean they souldnt be able to incorpersate some ideas of the gba. What im getting at is just cause the virtual boy couldnt play gameboy games doesnt meant the ds cant. I think it will be a wile till the next gameboy anyways and that this will stay strong for a wile. I still think asking for it under 150 is relly way to much to ask. I meant it has alot of features. 2 back litten lcd screens one that is touch, hi-fi wireless, backward compatibility, great games, alot of potential for new ideas and inoventiong and i know im not gonna be missing any of this.
