European analysts Webush Morgan have told Gamesindustry website that it does not see Sony’s handheld as being in direct competition with the Nintendo DS. Nintendo has something different to offer with its touch screen and deep library of first party titles, and Sony is not in a position to compete with that offering,” said Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter.
