To put it simply, the Virtual Boy was crap. Of course, its probably better than a PSP, though.

I love my VBs.

They're only black and red, but they're great. It's in 3D folks. WAY ahead of its time.

Someone ported a VB emulator to Xbox and you can play the games in 3D with some of those Red&Blue 3D glasses.

It's a tad slow, but it's sweet cause you don't need 6AA batteries, minimal chances of headaches (although I never got any), and you can save states. Hopefully they'll optimize it in the next release.

[/quote]I have actually played a PSP before, and I didn't like it. It felt unconfortable and the games felt like I had played them before.

I own a PSP and I always feel like I'm going to break it when I touch it. I can't enjoy it when I feel like I'll lose $300 by touching it.

[/quote]Lmao, too true. I once heard of someone on another forum that once put his PSP in his pocket while going in an elevator, and when he took he out again (once he left the elevator), the screen had cracked.

No wonder Sony are still selling high numbers of the PSP, so mnay people are buying new ones after their old ones broke.

that's how they did it with the PS1 and PS2, people kept breaking them (or they died on their own) and people ended up buying another.

First generation PS1's and PS2's were breaking down easily. Very easily. A first-gen PSX needed to be fluipped upsidedown to run properly after a while, while the first-gen PS2 would lose DVD compatibility over time and then PS2 game compatibility. I owned a first-gen PSX and my good friend has what he refers to as his 'Jesus PS2' cause it's so old, which doesn't work at all anymore.
You'll remmeber that the first PSP would launch the UMD disc if twisted. Not the UMD, but the disc inside. Thankfully this one was only released in Japan.

is this a marketing strategy? to sell low quality consoles only for customers to buy another?

No. It's Sony Beta testing on the public, but no one seems to care unless it happens to them.

if i can remember (and i think i can't) N64 was released in 1996, if Vlad_Tepes couldn't afford one, the snes was pretty cool back in those days, and it still is! I got my N64 two years later

Um, don't remeber, it's very very old, and don't know what it is. My big big big brother (he is a old as my father but it's my country's tradition) teach me to play it. Just remember that it had simple, easy game, and I lost it a long time ago.
