If PlayStation could knock out Nintendo, Gameboy stands no chance against the Palm OS platform.

Apples and oranges comparison. Both are dedicated gaming machines, they just exchanged leadership in the market. Now if you could claim that PCs knocked out N64, Playstation and Dreamcast you'd have a point. Except that isn't what happenned, nor does it appear to be happening anytime in the near future.

People *like* their inexpensive dedicated game machines. A Palm may raise the bar for the next GameBoy, but it is highly unlikely it'll woop it in the marketplace - at least not until you can get a color Palm for the $75 or so that Gameboys are selling for.

Khan,

PlayStation and Nintendo are the same machines. They are like Mac and PC.

But Gameboy and Palm are different machinese that serve
different purposes. And they both serve their own purposes
well.

Would Windows on PC stand no chance against Palm OS platform? The answer applies to Gameboy.
