You argument was that there was no other source stating that there wa a battery life longer than 90 minutes. I proved you wrong. I also think that you should note that your source sas between 90 minutes and 3 hours. You could quite possibly get 3 hours. You, however, have decided not to mention that. BTW I know what your quote comes from but you ought to still give a link.

What are those screenshots supposed to prove? I sure hope you're not using them to support an opinion on anything, unless you're of the type who think adding random windows and neon lights makes it better (whee couldn't resist the ricer insults)

You think you would've learned by now that graphics aren't everything by now, considering every other handheld console to date has pretty much been crushed despite having superior graphics, hell superior specs in general. And this time, the DS isn't so miserably behind the tech curve as they have been with the Game Boys.

I just added the screenshots for everyones performance. Not to mention it gave you a chance to ignore the rest of my post. :D Nintendo has been behind the tech curve without any powerful competition. Sure the machines might have been neat but the leading console maker has never gone up against them before. Anyways, I think we should have Miracle benchmark his battery life and let us all know.

Yea, I probably should've clarified that a bit with claiming Ridge Racers won't get you great battery life, but if PC World can be vague to the point of uselessness, then so can I.

No powerful competition? You mean Sega wasn't powerful competition?

Neo Geo, sure. But the sole reason Sony kicked ass with the PS2 is because of the 9 month lead. That's it. I'll gladly eat those words if Nintendo's new console or XBOX2 get stomped by the PS3.

Yea, let Miracle benchmark it, I think he can kill an hour or so :P

Sega was competition that was already losing the console war.

Losing? They started losing a year or so into SNES' life. It was never a slam dunk for Nintendo, especially when the Genesis was out during the NES lifespan.

Nintendo controlled the market until Sony came about and if the console war was all about who came out first why didn't the Dreamcast win? (If you can find a place with number proving me wrong on Nintendo's market share than please let me know)

By that time, Sega was on it's very last legs, and was completly overwhelemed by the PS2 hype and inflated specs
