PSP2 is DOA in the west. UE3 is already up and running on iOS and I won't be surprised if it's ported to Droid in the future. RAGE is also on the iOS and already confirmed to be coming to Droid. It is the exact same reason why WM7 will struggle, iOS and Droid are too far ahead of the game right now. The only way the PSP2 can have any type of success in the West is if SCE moneyhatz Epic, R*, EA, Bethesda, Activision, etc to put games like Gears of War, GTA SAS, Mass Effect, Fallout, Oblivion, Call of Duty, Bioshock, etc on the machine. It'll be much easier for the PSP2 to succeed in Japan as SCE will only really have to moneyhat Capcom there. Regardless, I think the PSP2 is fucked, the 3DS is gonna kill it with fire. BTW, the 3DS might not even have as easy a road to the top as I previously thought; most people are really into smartphones and tablets nowadays, including kids and teenagers. The 3DS SW will be compelling enough to get people to buy it, but I wonder if Little Johnny will ask Santa for a 3DS or an iphone 4G next Christmas. |
I don't really think a downloadable games based handheld is ready to dominate the market yet. They still need to make advances in storage medium and wireless tech before devs can have the same amount of freedom with their games. We're getting awfully close to when it's possible though and I'm guessing the gen after next is when we'll be downloading all of our games.
