Today

 

Has there been a shift toward handheld gaming in recent years, given the success of DS and PSP?
Compared to console gaming, where you have to sit in front of the TV for a long time, handheld gaming is more suitable for today’s busy lifestyle. Handheld gaming was only a supporting player in the past, but I expect it to take the main role in the future gaming world.

This is the part of the interview I actually found very interesting, and I couldn't help but agree.

 

That´s what I wanted to remark as well. I think that not only handheld games will take the leading role, but online gaming on handhelds will dramatically increase in the future and will be a lot bigger than console online gaming. It´s all up to the next-gen handhelds to expand in this field.
