well, the possibility is always there, that's for sure, but the problem is how high that possibility is. If I'm forced to bet all my money on one of them, I think I'll have to put my money on Nintendo, simply because I think it has a high possibility of maintaining its handheld market supremacy this time, maybe Sony will be able to eat into the handheld market with PSP, but I doubt it will be able to topple Nintendo's hold on handheld market anytime soon. the possibility of Sony pulling a Playstation-like miracle again is there, but the chance is not high. Also Nintendo's current hold on handheld market is quite stronger than it had on console market back when Sony released Playstation. But I have to say if I'm to choose between Nintendo DS and PSP, I'll most likely choose PSP.
