| Ultr said: Wuat are you guys talking?? seriously, this device is going to rock! Look at the games... Uncharted, Little big planet, Killzone, Resistance, Call of duty, ALL these games are System sellers, hell, people are going to buy this one 5million times just for Call of duty, let alone the other games, and I predict this for just the holiday season! |
In my book killer apps are games in 10-20M sales range. For now nor 3DS (outside of Nintendogs, and even here I'm not convienced it will do as good as it's predecessor), nor NGP have games of this scale announced*, though no doubt that strongest from both lineups will do extremely well (quite possibly that they'll very close to their console counterparts), since at launch pretty much every even moderatly popular game serves as system seller, but the effect tend to decrease with the lapse of time and only really BIG games may change the situation. Think for yourself, who will have better chances in delivering that kind of software, Nintendo or Sony?
So in the end of the day recent presentation doesn't change anything, except for the fact that it proves once again that excitement of the internets means nothing. People have praised 3DS previously, hated it later for numerous reasons (be it price, battery life or whatever), people praise NGP now, will hate it later =)
*And mind you, Call of Duty on home console is one thing while on portable is totally different. Not to mention my horrible experience playing online via 3G.
