This week, it seems the thing to do is try to beat Nintendo at its own game.

No pun intended.

First, there’s the story that Xbox360 is lowering the price of its “Arcade” version to $199, a whole 50 bucks below the Nintendo Wii.

That’s great! Now you can afford to see all those games in high-definition and store all your game data on its big-@$$ hard drive.

Oh wait, the “Arcade” version doesn’t have HD or a big-@$$ hard drive…

…Awkward.

Over in Japanland, Sony is releasing a new PSP-3000 (no relation to Andre-3000), to try to compete with the Nintendo DS.

They brag the new PSP (sorry, I refuse to call it PSP-3000… this ain’t The Jetsons!) will have a better LCD screen, a quicker response time, and a built-in microphone.

You know, so you can make phone calls on it. Or you can use a phone.

I say why stop there. DS has two screens. Beat them at their game. Make a PSP with 3 screens! No, 7! And paint that system with chrome!

And you gotta put Yoda’s face on it. Don’t worry, Lucas’ll let you. He’s all about bastardizing the franchise lately, or have you not played Soul Calibur IV or seen the Clone Wars movie.

Keep trying, Microsoft. Keep trying, Sony. Lower your prices. Add your enhancements.

But remember, no matter what, there’s one thing Nintendo has that neither of you don’t. And that is…

…THE MIYAMOTO!!!
