    Strange release dates alright, maybe the likes of advance wars and animal crossing are getting released internationally on the same day-theres no real reason for it not to happen if they're already translated right? but i'd say play are being a bit optimistic with some of the release dates. I'm actually very tempted after looking at the games at initial release and prices to pre order a ds......

    Sony are taking a huge hit subsidising the price of the console so the games are naturally going to be more expensive.

    Mario Kart DS looks like it could be the best Mario Kart yet (not including double dash which iv neve played :( ). The line up looks very promising load of title I want. I know Goldeneye will be **** but I can still dream of it being a port of the N64 version...

    Nintendo know they need a solid software library out ASAP with the PSP coming out some time in Q2.

    Apparently, it's not just that, most of the games are supposed to at least look like PS2 games...

    You're quite right. Sony is making a huge loss on each PSP but the production costs of the games that are almost as advanced as a PS2 title are very high. A big team would be needed as well as longer developement time.

    Not as far as I know and I cannt imagine that they will release anything for the PSP.
