Brains behind the Commodore Amiga, Atari Lynx, and 3DO hardware shares his thoughts on the next generation handhelds.
From 1up, [On the PSP] "Well, the thing I dislike most about it is that I didn't get to do it. [laughs] We tried real hard to get something started up [with Ericsson's Red Jade portable], and I still would love to get involved in an effort to develop that next generation system, because I think that's where we're really going. I think there's a new revolution coming in the way we communicate with each other that is pointed to by two things: the surprising, unbelievably ballooning launch of the world wide web, and the surprising, unbelievably ballooning launch of cell phones. These two things both point to the same truth for me of people's need, their desire, their love of communicating with each other and trading information and having common experiences and sharing experiences with each other. Instant messaging goes nuts in people's lives. My kids walk in from school and the first thing they do is they plug into that stuff. It points to the way of the future that we have these needs to use our technology to bring ourselves closer to each other and to collapse the world into a smaller place for each other."

^Whatever...
I'd rather you not make a billion threads about comments on the PSP.

Nights, stop posting pro PSP threads and anti DS threads. You have said many times that you are buying both. That is the biggest lie I ever heard in my life, except for you saying that you played them both. That is getting on my nerves.

With all the hostility to the PSP on this board I like how nights is posting this stuff. It's just proving that nintendo is not the god of all hand helds and that the PSP looks like it is seriously good!

I love how the first sentence is kinda on the topic of PSP and the rest is the rise of the internet.

Hooooly fuck. I went through this already. Nights will post whatever the fuck he wants without you Nintendo fanboys slapping his cheek with your cocks. Once again, if you do not find his information interesting, do not enter his threads and post your dissaprove, because frankly, Nights doesn't give a fuck, and neither does anyone else.
So please refrain from being complete fanboys. And I know alpha will turn this around and call me an Xbox fanboy, but what's sad is that he's ignorant and I'm really not as orgasmically into Xbox as he is into Nintendo. That is why I'm looking to buy a second console, and I'm deciding whether to get a PS2 or GCN.
What.

If he doesn't care about anyone posting in his thread wouldn't it be better for him not to post a thread since it will be a waste of thread? Its actually the same with you.

Its not the fact that he is interested in the PSP.........its the fact that he keeps on posting multiple threads that have the same purpose. Its like advertising to us. It just gets on our nerves. We have no problem with his preference, its just the way he is showing that he likes it.

Don't be a jackass now because I told you were a xbox fanboy. k?
Now I didn't really care about him posting stuff on the PSP but there is too many threads. Make a offical psp thread. That's all I meant so don't get your dildos stuck in your anus.

I just read it again...he didn't say a single thing about the PSP..besides the fact that he didn't make it.
In turn there was no point in posting this..

Well all systems where considered ahead of there time... he just created them and wasn't responsible for anything else... Look at the lynx (basicalyl a portible 16bit system when gameboy wasn't even color yet for not to much more) and not to mention the 3do was out in the 16bit era. To many hardware developers he's known as the guy ahead of the times.
He has no other part to the system then creating the architecture that the companies requested.
Guys calm down... I didn't combine the PSP and DS info to stop the flame wars, I made to seperate posts and didn't relate them in anyway.
BTW I like the PSP sticky IDEA however it would be hard to find anything with so many name calling fanboys. Now if General had it's own sections say PS2, PSP, Xbox, PC that would be cool.

This guy isn't legendary! He's a hack. He failed messerably. Sure he may have had "the best" but he killed all his efforst with crappy games, sucky screens, and a gillion other things i don't feel like mentioning. The only thing this guy is legendary for, is sucking.
