well i imagine there'll be some sort of follw-up to the GBA at some
point, but i doubt we'll see it any time soon with the Ds performing
so well.

Before the PSP and Nintendo scrambled to get the DS on the market, they must 
have been working on something...?

*smack* .. umm.. your 'logic' is illogical

I said the DS is NOT classed as a gameboy, therefore the Micro is the 
only 'GBA' created after the GBA SP, hence could afford the title 'gba 
2'

er, and what about the original GBA?

GBA = GBA1
GBA SP = GBA2
GBA Micro = GBA3

my logic makes perfect sense, dunno where you found yours, but it's
broke.

Nintendo didn't "scramble" at all, but yes, there was (and still is) a
follow-up to the GBA in development (codenamed "Evolution" at the moment).
There is, however, no GBA 2 and never was.

no they are all variation on the gba. not an advancememt on it. so no gba 2 
exists yet.

yes, i know that. i was pointing out that even if his logic was
correct, which it isn't, he would STILL be wrong by calling the micro
the GBA2, as it is the third incarnation of the hardware.

you weren't basing it on that though.. you were originally including the

Ah whatever, I don't give a fuck anymore :)

no i wasn't.

i wasn't talking about the DS in any way, shape or form. i was merely
commenting on your statement that the micro could be called the GBA2.

But since they are incremental changes do we not have:

GBA = GBA1
GBA SP = GBA1.5
GBA Micro = GBA2

Yes.  In fact, it should be 1.5b really, as it still has features missing :)

I'm not claiming I'm right  but I was under the impression that the DS had 
the shortest ever time from concept to marketplace for a console and this 
was 'blamed' (if you like) on Nintendo getting wind of the PSP's development 
and wanting to get something out there to counter it.

I don't know if that's true or not but I've definitely read that.

Very true, but I don't think anyone could have predicted by just how much, 
especially in Japan.

Shortest time from previewing it to releasing it, maybe.  It was in
development for much longer than that.

Complex numbers consist of a real and imaginary part. So i guess you
could add a complex number together. It wouldn't make much sense,

If this were the case, then since the actual followup to the GBA was the 
GBASP, then that must be the GBA2.
