| shams said: Secondly - I pointed this out in another thread, and its something that people have missed completely. The DS/PSP are the FIRST generation of handhelds that can actually run console games - primarily because they are the first handhelds that can SERIOUSLY do 3D. This is very relevant, and very significant: prior to this gen, handheld development was a *completely* different beast from console dev - there was NO overlap between the PS1/GameBoy, or the PS2/GameboyAdvance. Its completely different now - its actually EASIER going from Wii development to DS (technically), than it is going from the Wii to the PS3. In technical terms, handhelds have joined the same market that consoles are in (but not the other way - as consoles are NOT portable!) - otherwise there is no way DragonQuest would have moved to the DS. |
shams... I didn't miss out on that. I think the handheld/console dichotomy is coming to an end. Most seem to be choosing to remain willfully ignorant of the facts such as the one you are pointing out.
