The problem is, that there's no device like DS and PSP, only devices like DS or PSP. The smartphones are in the same category with PSP. 2. Actually i don't have one. But, they sell more than a billion mobile phones each year, a number that roughly equals all the games consoles and handhelds sold ever. Mobile phones should all have atleast built-in games and a huge number of the devices support Java applications. People play the games with their phones every now and them because it's easy pick them up. 3. The point is, that despite iPhone being a new product in the market, it has nothing new in it. Everything iPhone has in it, already exists in Nokia, Motorola, LG, Sony-Ericsson mobile phones. Apple is using its brand and clever marketing to make an issue about iPhone. In the end, it was you who said that Wii is a success for the same reason iPhone will be, but the reason for Wiis success is, that Wii is different from the competition, while iPhone isn't. Not in games market and not in phones market. @Alby: And there's also the thing that how much Sony is willing to push PSP into stores by using its other electronics as a stake. If they use their synergic advantages, PSP may very well have "extended" shelf life. |
1) You don't understand the word. Whatever.
You think the psp has more in common with a smartphone than the DS? Wow!
2) Having a phone and actually using it for gaming is different.
3) The wii wasn't the first gaming device with motion sensor technology. All innovation is on the backs of giants. The iPhone's design is a game changer. I still don't understand the overall point you're trying to make. My only point is, convergence devices like the iPhone are serious contenders for the gaming market even if they aren't graphic powerhouses.
