Re: Might be good, I hope.

It worries me because it sounds like a typical Nintendo gambit: make a hotly-anticipated feature only available on the next slightly-altered iteration of the same thing (see: GB/GBC/GBA, DS/DSlite/DSi).
Yeah, cause that's behavior exclusively exhibited by Nintendo. Microsoft and Sony would never dream of coming out with a game or new functionalty that's only compatible with new consoles.

Oh, absolutely true.

I had no intention of hating only on Nintendo; I only mentioned them in particular because they're the only one of those I've had extensive experience with. My apologies for making it seem like I was being one-sided.

What I dislike in what Nintendo does is much the same as I see with Apple (and I dislike it in them, too): that each new "variation" on their console-of-the-moment has only tiny adjustments (like it's a little bit smaller, has one extra port, a little bit brighter, has one new feature, etc.) and is mostly, but not entirely, backward compatible. At least Microsoft and Sony, when they come out with a new console, for the most part, it's a massive upgrade. Of course, given what I've heard of the PSP/PSPgo, it's becoming a similar matter there too.

All that said, though, your point is well taken.
