Earlier this month Sony also revealed plans to release a handeld console to go head to head with nintendos game boy (advance sp is the latest model released) Full story beyond the link:

The PSP

The only other two major news developments in the gaming industry is the launch of the limited edition green x-box by microsoft to match sonys and nintendos coloured gamecubes. But did it come out too late? Also its goodbye Infogrames as they ditch their armadillo and go retro.

So what do you people think of all this. Is Sony taking one step too far or iks it a good idea?
