DS & GBE vs PSP?

None of the information in the article has been officailly confirmed and it is speculation until confirmed

PSP, the one thing many thought would spell the defeat of Nintendo and the permanent reign of Sony to the gaming world. GBE the ultimate plan of attack for Nintendo to regain the near gaming-monopoly it held in the SNES era. Hold that thought and try to comprehend the genius planning that Nintendo went through to come up with a plan of this immense brilliance, risk, sacrifice, and threat.

1999, next Gen R&D at Nintendo had begun. After taking unexpected losses to the Sony Playstation, and seeing the sheer dominance and popularity of the ps2 was gaining Nintendo knew they couldn’t regain what they had lost in one generation. Enter the plan to take the gaming industry by storm. Launch the system in a variety of colors, something ps2 didn’t have, market in purple and black, and advertise as a family system. Some thought such a move was suicidal, but there was much more to come. Still having a virtual monopoly in the handheld market Nintendo decided to slow-play their hand and hold of the release of the “Nitro”, instead releasing a weaker and cheaper, GBA. With the success of GBA Nintendo decides to implement an expansion of controller pak-like connectivity as seen with the N64 and Pokemon stadium. This would offer something that ps2 didn’t have. Nintendo knew the connectivity wouldn’t take off right off the bat. But it would become a known, and heard of idea. Something they could use 2 generations later, people would know the concept, and Nintendo would market it in an outstanding way.

Phase one

E3 2004. Around a mass hyped PSP, Nintendo had the first step in its master plan up its sleeve about to be shown. The Nintendo DS. Until then most were skeptic, but seeing the new and innovative features of the DS. Many companies realized an untapped potential of the system.

Phase two

Market the DS as a “third pillar”; assure the public that the GB line will continue and that the DS would not be the next game boy. Many speculated that this would simply be a way for Nintendo to retreat should DS become a failure against PSP. Not all was as it seemed Nintendo had far more up its sleeve than anyone could have possibly imagined.

Phase three

Enter: Evolution and Revolution. Bold names for a company on “The brink of defeat”, as some analysts would say. Nobody truly knew what to expect, or, better yet knows what to expect. With the DS out for only a year Nintendo announced what would be, the biggest news in handheld history, every. Releasing 2 systems within one year of each other, many speculate DS owners to get fed up with Nintendo and move to PSP, some as myself, see that things will play out in a different manner.

Phase four

The revolution will house a wireless Internet connection capable of connecting to multiple DS and GBE units at once. The Revolution will be able to acquire Internet via wireless router, or normal Ethernet, as to appeal to gamers of all broadband situations. Now, PSP throw in the towel here come the 2 final punches. HDDS: hard disk DS. A mini hard disk inserted into the DS’s GBA slot capable of allowing 20-50 gigs of memory for, music, media, firmware updates, Nintendo’s own PDA software and more. The Revolution will be used, as a wireless hotspot where such downloads, as well as online DS gaming will take place. Here’s the knockout blow, The GBE. Nintendo originally had been developing a handheld gamecube since the Gab’s final days. However it was far too expensive to shrink the hardware to the size of a GBA at a reasonable price, until now. Gamecube is already the smallest system, running on mini-DVD format, anyone wonder why? Because Nintendo was waiting to drop the bomb, PSP comes out, Nintendo keeps GBE on the low pro, and when Sony least expected it BAM cheap portable gamecube. Crushing PSP in processing power and game library with over 500 games to date .It will be the next GB entry in Nintendo’s “three pillars”
Beating PSP to a pulp is what Nintendo has in mind and from what I can see, I'm liking the looks of things.

AMAZING I DONT THINK ANYONE COULD HAVE SAID IT BETTER

Yes, this is the most amazing insight I have ever read. I tip my hat off to you my fellow staffer. What a glorious way to explain such an amazing event.

Brilliant. Wonderful insight. Kudos to you. And if this insight turns out to be correct, then gaming is going to get much more fun. Especially with the GBE being able to play Gamecube games- handheld SSBM. Perhaps they'll even release an improved version for the GBE, and well as a Revolution version.

Rather than trying to suck your dick like the rest of these commentators, I find your speculations interesting and, hopefully, true. No disrespect intended to you, just to all the idiots that think that every 'what if' is amazing, and likely.

Nice work done here. And, the idea of the revolution being utilized as a hot spot is very plausible considering the emphasis on Wi-Fi with the DS.
However, to suggest this insight as “amazing” and “ brilliant” by so-called staff member’s, just shows how immature and amateur this site really is. Just because things seem to“fit nicely into place” here, doesn’t mean its all a master plan by Nintendo, one that you have somehow uncovered. The child like fan-boy within you is showing off like a soar thumb, the PSP will NOT be dominated by Nintendo’s amazing “plan” ,so get over it and just enjoy your DS. forex trading signals

Uh, get a clue. You write like you're 10 years old, and you make no sense. I agree, Nintendo fanboyism shines through. In my opinion, Nintendo is doomed. Sony will mop the floor with Nintendo and their childish image. I used to love Nintendo, and still love some of their games, but then I grew up.

PS... I wish you guys would get a spellchecker or something.

Whether you deny it or not, this is an amazing event (one of the many things to come before e3) and Blackmajik described his thoughts extremely well. He was quick to write an entire insight and I liked it a lot.

How about we get some facts before these crazy assumptions.

Nice job Blackmajik, though some of your claims are a bit out there. In your editorial, you made it seem that the PSP cant have any answer for the supposed hard-disk for the DS
This coming E3 will indeed be a great show by all companies, but i dont see a GBE in 2005 or even 2006 cuz it will kill off the GBA and the DS no matter how you look at it. No one will support two handhelds and a console, unless you have money to waste.

Portable Gamecube? In the next ten years? Hahahahaha.

I laugh.

You think it could play any GCN game? Not until nuclear power comes to portable batteries. The GCN has no restrictions to disk use or processing power. You think the PSP's battery life is bad? It has restrictions on both of those departments to keep battery life above five hours. Imagine what it would be like without either restriction. Oh, the other thing... Until cheap 720x480 pixel LCDs come out in portable size, a portable GCN will either be unexistant or $600. VOLVO

This is the biggest bullshit I've heard in my whole life. If you had any brains, you'd delete this shit, and realise that even if this will happen, Sony won't just sit on their asses and do nothing. They'd slash the PSP price to 50 bucks and wipe the floor with Ninty.

This is the amateurest DS site I have yet to see.

www.dsgaming.co.uk has proper news. Best DS site I've seen so far, certainly beats the crap out of this bullshit.

That's write wimp, delete my comment. You know the truth.

That was quite a good theory, however you need proper evidence to back it up, most of it is based on rumors.

This is worse than spong and there awful speculation, there is many reasons nintendo wouldn't do this.
One of them being they know handheld and Home consoles are different market. There is many reasons more but I can't be assed too name them.

The technique described above is actually the same one that Nintendo used to defeat its age old rival, Sega.

All of you haters obviously have down-syndrome. GBE will have graphics comparable to GCN. Now whether or not the GBE will be able to actually play the GCN's mini-dvd's is another story. However the processing power of the new gameboy will blow PSp's pansy-ass out of the water. Nintendo made a smart move to keep the new gameboy under wraps, because now that Nintendo has observed Sony's marketing plan and everything the PSP has to offer, Nintendo can improve upon everything PSP has to offer and even add in more features.
SO, EAT A D*CK B*TCHES!!!!!!!!!

I doubt this would happen. It sounds too expensive. The ethernet port thing I could see, however.

And a portable GameCube? I'm not so sure. Perhaps its possible, but it's just speculation. There is no proof of that happening, or even of a GBE as (I understand). But then again, power restrictions may make things hard, like one of the anonymous people said.

And yes, as "realistic n fan" said, this site is immature and fanboyish, and I doubt I'll ever come here again.
