| Brainslug said: I'm not sure that NGP has any chance whatsoever of winning the sales race this time around either, neither company has really changed their approach, Nintendo has made a new system that will appeal to all the DS owners but might draw in more hardcore becuase of the greater graphics capability and the 3D. NGP is a system that is exactly like the PSP but stronger, so it will appeal to the audience of the PSP but doesn't seem to have anything that will capture an expanded market. So best case scenario, it will have the same market share as the current PSP. I just hope nobody is violently upset when NGP doesn't outsell the 3DS |
Well said, exactly how I feel.
I see Sony making the same mistakes here that they did with PSP and PS3. Super powerful hardware but the pricepoints and graphics arent neccesarrily helping drive demand. The Wii and DS are both technically inferior yet dominate the market.
And I dont see how anyone really wants to become super invested 6-10 hour game in a handheld experience, they can do that on the console. I think portable/handheld is more leaning on the shorter smaller games of the iphone ilk where people can just play a bit for ten minutes and be done with it.
