Forums - Nintendo - Did Nintendo just Dreamcast the PSP2?

....normally I would call this thread biased, but OOT is coming to 3DS in 3D with what looks like visual upgrades, so yep. Dreamcasted.


It's only a tech demo, nothing is confirmed.

I really think the PSP is dead, Sony needs a new name and a new game. If you happen to slap the PSP name on the new handheld it's almost guaranteed to be second place.

I hope the HD console fans do not revert to the 3DS ignoring the fact that it is a product of Nintendo!

does it matter. 3DS is a handheld, many xbox360 and PSP owner's own a DS i know i do.


It is okay to own a Nintendo console or handheld if you are mostly an HD gamer, what I am referring to is that some people may ignore the fact that it is a product of Nintendo.

Nope, it was actually announced as full release, complete with touchscreen item swapping.  They're also doing a Starfox 64 remake.

What I find interesting is how confident most people in this thread are that the 3DS is going to come out and sell a ton of units right off the bat. Didn't the DSi just come out a short time ago? I am not saying the 3DS is not cool or interesting, I just don't think this thing is going to start selling like crazy and not stop.


You are entitled to your own opinion. For the 3DS to sell at a frequent rate advertising will need to performed. You should also consider the wide variety of games that will be released on the 3DS and their different genres, spreading the appeal to more people. 

i actrually feel its up to us gamers to advertise this

how do you advertise something that is 3d to people who can't see it in 3d.  It will take off and be huge if us gamers who get this show this to other people.  Jus tlike how the Wii became huge from jus tother people trying it. 



The Wii's successor is unlikely to get such support as PS360 are extremely good at selling software

DS's competitor was terrible at selling software.

Sony needs to come out with the PSP2 very soon! And make it 3D.

I fully believe Nintendo has killed off consoles. No more MGS on PS3/PSP? No More RE on PSP, PS3? Damn No MOre Final Fantasy's?

If this becomes the case, it's the fault of Japan, not Nintendo. If you notice, the top selling console this gen (Wii) may not even pass the PSP in hardware, the "losing" handheld. The PSP has been getting pretty damn good 3rd party support this gen...


As for the topic, I think Sony should give up on PSP2, unless they have some sort of revolutionary idea. If their system turns out to be just a more powerful 3DS, they'll get "Gamecubed." Sony lives on 3rd party support, and if 3DS takes it away, they're completely screwed.

Like others have said, they should probably just make a gaming phone feature device that can compete with the iPhone and other smart phones.

Again, depends entirely on the software.  It's better for some (most really), but not for all (Sega, Hudson... even Namco Bandai, Capcom and Ubisoft had the biggest returns on Wii last FY versus other systems).  It's also generally worse for legacy franchises versus last generation on PS2 (plus GC & Xbox), which is more the issue imo.

Wii's successor will be launching from a far, far stronger position than Wii did, and PS4/Xbox 3 will probably be launching from a weaker position than PS3/Xbox 2 did in developer's minds...

Depends on the architecture of future consoles too. If they can have 1 game as a multiplat across PS3/720/Wii2 then it won't matter.

SEGA not doing well is their own fault or the marketings fault (Valkyria Chronicles). Same with Namco Bandai.

Capcom has done well with RE5, maybe nothing else though.

it will get good 3rd party support as long as the Wii's next system is not as seperaded by a hardware gap as it was this generation. which it won't i am pretty sure but as for getting better 3rd party support, i would say do not bet on it.

It will get just as much multiplatform treatment the same as the Ps4 and the xbox3 there is not going to be anyone running away like the previous generation software support from 3rd parties anymore because right now there's no reason too even though the Wii has a great lead, the other platforms are

PS3

XBOX360

PC

combined they offer 3rd parties more money to be made..

the 3rd party EXCLUSIVE Party is just about over with unless you pay for it or help with production or buy the studio 3rd party exclusive's are just about over with.

which is great because that just means it will come down to 1st party to seperate the game system's.

I think it really depends on if Wii's successor has anything to differentiate itself.  Also as the cycle goes on though, don't be surprised if the 3rd placer gets squeezed out GameCube style.  Coming from a position of market leadership also puts Nintendo in a better position to nab key exclusives... I mean if they go to Capcom and say "hey, we want Monster Hunter 4 for Wii HiFi" do you really think they'd lose it to either Sony or MS?  

Also, I'd say it's arguable if there's really "more to be made" on PCS360 versus Wii, really it all comes down to context.  I mean what answer will you get if you ask Sega?  Ubisoft?  Hudson?  Valve?  I think it varies greatly depending on who you are, and what exactly you've actually invested into each platform.  PCS360 have certainly seen miles more investment, but the ROI might not be all that great considering how  shockingly many developers are laying off, selling out and even shutting their doors this generation.

those day's are over..

3RD party EXCLUSIVES are pretty much a thing of the past.

it's not about loosing it's about you have to convince the 3rd party to go exclusive IE: some compensation!

Nintendo rarely does that an why should they their 1st party does great. without that

think about this The Wii is the only system that was not multi-core processor that means their game engines were not designed toward Multi-core thus already Sony and Microsoft has done just that multi-core development. not to say Nintendo has not done some but this point forward the Game engine's were the big expense some taking over 4 year's to make. that was one of the big expenses this generation , though next generation most likely be just as expensive but no moreso than this generation.

the Wii on the other hand was the cheapest , next generation not so much so. that mean's there is no Multi-core Wii game engine's yes they can make them. but both sony an Microsoft already have them.

And since Nintendo does not make their own CPU chip's they have to go to other's Say Intel?

almost all INTEL CPU's are CPU/GPU hybrid chip's for Embeded devices. which Game console's are. they went with IBM this time..even IBM are CPU/GPU chip's AMD, Freescale..etc.

that going to be a main problem..the Wii next replacement is going to have to overcome.
