| RolStoppable said: No, both the PSV and 3DS will get in trouble because of the same mistakes the PSP made. There simply isn't a big market for home console-like games on portables in the West. PSP software sales suffered tremendously from this and it's repeating with the 3DS. While Japan is accepting of home console games on portables and Resident Evil: Revelations has stabilized relatively high in the Japanese charts, it already vanished in the Western markets. For now, the 3DS is good to go in Japan, but it needs typical handheld hits in the West to reach greater heights. The PSV will struggle in every market, because it lacks both in released and announced games. The good article you posted turned out to be hogwash upon skimming. |
That's the only thing that can save dedicated handheld gaming - you need to release games people want to pay $40 for and keep games budget in check to break even with 100-200k sales.
