| selnor said: So the handheld market is pretty divided these days. The dedicated handheld console market is completely owned by Nintendo. And IMO is a waste of time going up against the name and first party portfolio of Nintendos handhelds. |
Considering the psp went up against Nintendo and did a breath taking amount, sure it failed when compared to Nintendo but on its own or when compared to other attempts at Handhelds, it did stellar. So it's not completely hopeless going up against Nintendo, just as long you are not wrapped on who finishes "first".
I agree that smartphones is the black when it comes to handhelds but the truth of the matter is; they will never compare to a dedicated handheld system. Sure some games on phones are becoming more in depth and better than angry birds pick up and play style games, but still, the reason why people pick up a DS/PSP and will pick up a 3DS/vita is because they know what they are getting and they know what the machine in their hand can do. I'd rather play a game of Fifa on a psp/vita than on an Iphone, I'd rather play Tekken, streetfighter on a psp/vita than a phone.
Also, if I want to play an Uncharted, a Mario, a Kirby etc, there are only possible on a Nintendo/Sony handheld.
Though with all that said.
MS doesn't need to step outright into the hand held market, the phone affair is just right up their alley.
PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.
