I'm going to go out on a limb here and respond seriously.
Nintendo has suprsied us in the past... and I think that the DS has much more entertainment and innovation value than the PSP.
Nintendo will continue to suprise.
The controller design makes sense the more I think about it. I'm willing to give the the benifit of the doubt.
Plus a one handed controller is awesome for RPG play. Or a **** game.
It is also, as far as I noticed, an ambidexterous setup.
So, open your mind a bit, and think about the possibilities.
Also, remember, they aren't fools... the Gamecube controller can still plug into the system.
