| loves2splooge said: Among the 15-34 demographic I'd say dedicated handheld gaming systems are going to be trending down a lot. At home most gamers opt for the home consoles. I'm open to playing an enjoyable DS or PSP game just as much as I would be open to playing enjoyable home console games but I'm in the minority there. I primarily play my DS Lite and PSP at home, sometimes taking my PSP with me on commutes. I find playing Game Dev Story on my phone during commutes to be more convenient (like I said, gaming on a phone eats up the battery though). And Game Dev Story is a damn fine game in it's own right. If you have a iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad or Android OS device, get it now. Awesome addictive game development studio management sim. |
Not always true. If someone has a family and the dedicated gaming TV is being used for TV and movies, then it's hard to find time to game on it. That's where handhelds come in and they're perfect for that. Most of my iPhone, iPad, and DS gaming comes from when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV with my wife.
My sister gets almost all of her gaming in when her three kids are watching TV because it's almost always used by them.
