We spotted the rumored new backlit GBA SP at a local retailer tonight. So if you had any doubt, you can squash it now. Does this change any of your thoughts on the Micro? [Source: Infendo’s wee-bitty eyes]
First of all, do you remember the price? And depending on what it is, I wouldn’t see why people would by this over the Micro, asides from a slightly bigger screen.
$79 bucks like always. I could easily see this stealing sales from the Micro. I could be wrong but it just seems to be bad timing. Why not wait a little after the Micro was released.
I’ve got one of these backlit SP’s and they rock! Finally, Nintendo gave us a Game Boy (remember the DS isn’t a Game Boy) that displays the games LIKE THEY LOOK LIKE ON THE BOXES! I was going to buy a Micro (for the brighter screen) but got one of these instead. BTW, I saw that Fry’s is selling the older models for $63.

Ooops… Micro outsells PSP at launch? Whoops!

Yeah, I think the timing is VERY strange :/
But if SPOnG is right, it didn’t hurt the micros sales that bad….
Thanks JB for the news 😀

I think Nintendo might be overmilking this money cow
