Here's a link to the announcement.  Looks pretty cool, but not that creative of ideas.

Uncharted on a handheld... Jesus Christ. I'll wait for the next-gen consoles if PS3 graphics are already on a portable.

It will cost as much as a PS3.  If some way they can bring the cost closer (like $225 tops) to $200 it will do better.  It's gonna be a tough call for consumers to decide between this or a console.

Tell that to the 20 million units of DSi sold in the last four months and very large (unofficial) number of pre-orders for the 3DS.

3DS will be much better man, Ocarina of Time is being remade for it.  Already an instant win.

alright people who know shit about video games drop some knowledge on me... why/how does it have the ability to have PS3 level graphics? is it graphics, but not gameplay? if they can put PS3 graphics in a console that small, why doesnt the PS3 have better graphics...?

It's not actually PS3 level, but close to it. Basically it's a matter of processing power and taking away polygons here and there and using the current generations shaders and lighting effects to create even sharper looking visuals. You know, the processors are getting smaller all the time.

As for the PS3 not having better graphics (in your opinion) is a matter of design. The PS3 hardware has been touted by developers as being extremely painful to code and thus, only those who have the resources and time to fully dive in there get the most out of the machine (Naughty Dog, Killzone developers, Hideo Kojima). The 360 is favored among developers for having such a simple devkit.

In the next two years we will see the next generation of consoles, as they have an approximate life cycle of 6 years.

Handheld =/= Outside

And anyway, a lot of damn people. Have you been living in a cave? All the Nintendo handhelds have sold approximately 420 million units, then to add the millions of others like PSPs, Lynxs etc. it's crazy.

they need to bring back the gamegear... that thing owned, except it used 6 AA's, and you had to replace them every couple of hours...
