have you ever played Xbox on a tv smaller than 20 inches? could you imagine playing it on a 5 inch screen?
Pretty sure Windows Phone 7 is going to be their version of a mobile gaming platform Xbox live and apps etc
Sony's new handheld looks really good. I will most likely be getting that pretty early on when it comes out.
Oh well that changes things. I'm sure that one extra sale Sony gets from you this time will make up for all the money they lost when nobody wanted to play PS1 on a tiny screen with no battery life. And I guarantee the 3DS will crush the new PSP just like the DS crushed the old one. Those japs love that shit
I don't really give a shit if Sony beats Nintendo. I will still get the new PSP over the 3ds. Just because something is more popular doesn't make it better. I am sure the PSP must have been somewhat profitably for Sony or they wouldn't be making another one.
well we were talking about why Microsoft doesn't have a handheld, so the PSPs failures seemed pertinent to the conversation to me. Also, per wiki, the DS has nearly tripled the PSP in worldwide sales.
I agree that Microsoft probably shouldn't put out a portable console because the market seems to be pretty flooded. I was merely trying to say that the PSP wasn't a total failure. It is not nearly as succesful as the DS but the new PSP seems to be doing a lot of things right. Only problem is that it is probably going to be 300 when it comes out.
that's a fair point. I just think handheld gaming is more about innovation than packing as much graphical power in as possible, which is what always seems to get Sony into trouble. People don't want to spend 400 bucks to play games on a 6 inch screen.
Except for idiots like me, but there aren't many of them around. Some of the games I have seen look really good but I am sure they only appeal to the hardcore gamer. I am glad that Sony is still trying to make games and systems for the hardcore gamer when everyone else is trying to appeal to the masses.
I have an iphone and some of the games are fun but with out buttons there is only so much you can do.
well I'd call myself a hardcore gamer as well to be honest. We just prefer different things obviously
To be clear I don't own a PSP and I do own a DS. I have played the PSP a bunch because my friend had one and we traded back and forth. I would really like to get both the new PSP and the 3DS. I just like to play everything that comes out.
Less of a life for sure. I really don't play portable games that much. I bought the DS and hardly ever played it. The PSP2 and 3DS have me interested but I am still unsure if I will get them or not.
