Which is a noble enough goal, and how things should generally be, but it isn't really how things get bought though.
Presumably if they don't sell enough of these or no-one ports any software across* the platform dies, like so many before it, don't they?

People that play games as a primary goal seem more obsessed about apperance from what I see, they have those big tower cases with blue lights everywhere, and useless gauges. Games machines in general come in a variety of colours, which people seem to clamour for. The PSP seemed to get more popular when they redesigned the case a bit.

It seems to be pitching into a market where people are more concerned with form than normal.

* Excuse my ignorance on the pandora, apart from your sig I have heard nothing about them, so I don't know if there is already the software or what they run.
