That ad proves but one thing, When you game on real dedicated devices with the quality of games and controls, you dont want to do the casual 5 minute game stuff
That ad proved nothing I said wrong
"But I agree with Kowen, it's damaging the portable market big time, imo.'
Again there is no evidence of this at all. All we can see is the vita, 3ds, ds, psp selling well right now..........sales are not 0 |
The ad proves Sony sees them as competitors.
And they should. Outside Japan, the market is very slow and boring for portables, both in hardware and especially software. But I don't want to go deeper into this, it's just how I see things at the moment.

A good company will see everyone as a competitor
As the great reggie said when he was asked this question and I quote
" yeah apple is a competitor.......so is a book, a newspaper, food. Anything that has the potential to take money is a competitor"
But that doesnt mean they are afraid...........
Again that isnt true, portables do very very well outside japan. The psp sold more outside japan............worldwide the 3ds is number 1. You dont get to be number 1 worldwide, if your first in japan, and last everywhere else. It doesnt work that way

Well, but Nintendo will never make an Ad saying "you should never read a book again". And the software part to me is the most worrisome, more than hardware.
But, like I said, let's end this here... I'm a bit undecided about the future of portables. I just think this massive sucess of Apple generates pretty big ripples everywhere.

Portable software makes profit
The psp is 7 years old and companies are still localizing
do you think they would if they didnt have profit projected?

I'm sorry, but they are? Check again :)
Two C-tier games from the same company for the rest of the year does not qualify as "companies are still localizing". And even them I believe there's more chances of those being vaporwares than anything else. PSP is deader than dead in the west.
