I haven't bought a portable Nintendo system since my GBA SP, because I finally broke down and got one, and not too long after they announced the DS. By the time I was considering one, they released the DS Lite, and by the time I seriously considered that, they had the DSi. Nintendo isn't leaving any of their systems out long enough for me to NOT feel like I'm either behind on hardware iterations, or just being reamed. So I just don't play portable games anymore, because the PSP has seena lmost as many iterations.
