    RE: Price of 3DS games. I’m guessing that the development costs have risen as the technology gets more complex. handhelds are getting to have the specs that are closer to consoles of a few years back, which require the same amount of devs, hence the higher costs. Subsequent shovelware will probably be priced less.

    RE PSP phone. Portable gaming is really trending onto smartphones, so they probably want a piece of that hot action. I got the droid mainly because it makes playing games slightly easier (but most devs sorta make games with the idea that you’ll only have the touchscreen anyway) but…it’ll make playing emulators easier/better.

    I’ve largely been ignoring the 3DS, for most of the reasons you mention. I feel like handhelds are about to enter the awkward phase consoles were in around the PS1 era, and I’d rather stick with my low-res turn-based Fire Emblems and Tactics Ogres until it all blows over.
