I don't think so. There's one thing that Sony's NGP that's going to make handheld gaming utterly awesome.

 

DUAL ANALOG BITCHES

You say that as if Japanese games would significantly gain something from a second analog stick. Remember, that's where the top tier support will be coming from. The Western gaming industry sees handhelds as second rate gaming machines.


Where did I once say that? I said handheld gaming meaning ALL.

That's just stupid!

PSP had a wave of games in the last weeks and FF-bundles this week in Japan --> very good sales this week, but it will be one of the last waves for the PSP. It will be the one only going down in sales, like it already did in US and Europe.

About 3DS, it's far from a failure 4sure and we have no idea about the shipments in Japan.

I think Ninty will give a statement about 3DS shipments and Fukushima etc.

IMHO this thread is nothing less than just trolling.

And this analyst "Kramer" is just the same recycled joke-ID from Rol.



I think the NGP will do a lot better than everyone expects. The 3DS is a DS in 3D. Big deal. Another gimmick from the gimmick kings. The NGP offers a lot in terms of harware like 3G access and Wi-fi etc and will come to market with a lot of software.

The point is that we can't just use a company's expectations.

Then whose expectations shall we use as a yardstick?  Once we disregard the projections of the people who are in the best position to gauge the success or failure of their own product, we enter the land of wishful thinking, where 2006-2009 PS3 sales were stellar, and the Virtual Boy was an unqualified commercial success.  You propose substituting the intimate knowledge of the platform creator with the ignorant guesses of the individual.  No real analyst would ever do such a thing!



I think the 3DS will do a lot better than everyone expects. The NGP is a PSP with touchpad. Big deal. Another copy from the copy cats. The 3DS offers a lot in terms of harware like 3D, Gyro, cams etc and is on the market with a lot of software announced.

The hardware power or features won't matter just like the 3D "gimmick" won't.. It'll be all about the games.

Ah, another prediction from by favorite analyst Sebastian Kramer. Oh Rol.


The funny part is that people are actually falling for it, I mean seriously.

It all over, everyone is finished except the angry bird devs

Now this is the response this thread was made for. 

Thank you Rol and leatherhat; you guys made my April 1st! 



Remember Analysts predicted that Avatar was going to be a box office bomb. Look what happened there.



I bet NTH loves us.
