I don't mess with these handhelds, but the topic seems to have strayed...
Nintendo advocates will talk until they are blue in the face about the staying power of nintendo. If atari had been a bit faster on the uptake, and gotten past being the creators of at home gaming consoles to begin with, they would be the "old man", and you'd be calling mario "that guy from pitfall".
Playstation has advocates of it's own.... the company is willing to get titles leased/sold to them from competitors, another new standard among gaming... you never played Bonk (Turbografix 16) or Sonic the Hedgehog on your original nintendo.. Because they were competitors.
Now, you can get GTA on different stations, but PS has the right idea to get it out first, and way before the other guys. It's what makes them stay ahead.
Microsoft is a whole different era of ****y... because they are creating games with more power. Fable, Halo... you can't get these games anywhere else but on a PC. They are just new to the game, so anyone older than ... ten years old is probably going to advocate what they grew up on.
Don't judge just because you're biased... the industry follows itself, and all of these guys will have products out that can compete, until they go under. Then a new giant will immerge, and try for their fifteen minutes of fame.
