DRM Discontent Tsunami
Sony's lamebrain flirtation with rootkit-based DRM was just the tip of the iceberg. Users will revolt over restrictive DRM that keeps them from enjoying the video, movies, and music they've legitimately purchased. Expect many DRM schemes to crumble within days of introduction, and newfangled media, such as HD-DVD and Blu-ray, to arrive stillborn. What you buy counts! Reject DRM-encumbered devices and media—only buy devices and media that put you in control. What happens if we don't? As my friend and top blogger David Berlind says, "The result, if we continue to buy into these silos of incompatible content-consumption technologies by voting for them with our dollars, will leave many in the future wondering who made the mess. Answer? Look in the mirror."
Nintendo Wins Handheld Gaming Market
When it comes to handheld gaming, the story is much different. Sony's overpriced PSP continues to lag, as a steady stream of warmed-over PS2 games port over. Nintendo, using a double-barreled attack that features the fashionable Gameboy Micro and the quirky but innovative DS, will continue to win over the market. Riding a wave of great content, including Mario & Luigi, Mario Kart DS, and Animal Crossing, Nintendo will remain on top as 2006 comes to a close.Source: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/ZDM/story?id=1445351EDIT by NES-Luke: removed all the total crap that had no relevance to anything.

Interesting article, but I already knew about most of it. Seriously, though, I doubt anyone will boycott Sony. Everyone who wants to boycott Sony know about the electronics industry. Let's face it, people, Sony isn't making the majority of their money off of people "in the know". Sony gets a hell of a lot of money from Mr. Joe Schmoe, and he doesn't know jack sh*t about the DRM scandal.
 The SiniLegion wants YOU!Signature mostly fixed by Luke. ;)

Pretty hard to predict, eh? :wink:
Ds is still selling quite well and at least in Japan you see much more people with DSs than with PSPs.
In Germany I've seen 2 guys with a DS and 1 guy with a PSP until now. Not that much.
