The best analogy is the difference between the N64 and the original Playstation.

Playstation came out first. Had tons of games and was loved by maney. N64 came out. Vastly superior system in pretty much every way imaginable. And yet, the PlayStation still outsold the N64. Even as great games, like Smash Brothers and GoldenEye and Mario Kart 64 and such made their way to N64, the sheer volume of the PlayStation library made it stay on top.

Now. Replace the words "Playstation" with "GameBoy", and "N64" with "Whatevertheydecidetocalltheportibleplaystatio n", and the game titles with whatever they plan on giving to the new handheld, and you've got yourself an analogy.

Oh, and I predict the PlayStation will be the next Game Gear. Totally cool, and yet hated for a totally stupid feature being overlooked. In the Game Gear's case, it was the fact that 4 AA batteries lasted 10 minutes.

But that's just me. The newest game system I own is the... uh... N64...
