ios/android comes from the west bruh. 


Where did the Gameboy/DS/3DS/Gamegear/PSP/Vita come from?

Handhelds are still consoles.

I'm a bout to make an East vs West thread.

Handhelds are not home consoles... at all... in any way. Different products, different market, different software.

The only distinction between handhelds and home units is power supply and form factor, everything else is a fabrication. By definition they are video game consoles, standalone machines that play video game software. 

Different products and Different software is a meaningless distinction. The PS2 and PS3 are different products with different software as well.

The handheld and home console market are simply submarkets of the larger gaming market, suggesting they don't overlap is ludicrous especially considering Nintendo's IPS and PlayStation's crossbuy.

I never said the "Home" console.

I would pay an obscene amount of money for that collection, especially if it includes games that never saw North American release.

The fact that every single video game sales study in history divides and clearly differentiates between handhelds and home consoles should give you a hint that your argument is a losing one. Even this site seperates the two. 

Ever wonder why?

Well I certainly think it would be interesting if From Software released some of their old content on newer platforms and maybe PC. Perhaps they could use KickStarter to fund that.

However, I don't think they own some of their popular IPs. For example, Sega probably owns Otogi. MS helped in the development of Ninja Blade, but I'm not sure if they own it.

Cool idea but I would rather have completely remakes from King's Field series instead of good ports.

This. Love the KF series.  They could even throw in Eternal Ring as a bonus.  And after they are done with that, use the same engine to remake the ST series. 

Eternal Ring? That was From Software? :o I loved that game!

Yep.  I loved it, too.  Went back and played it recently.  Man, those graphics haven't aged well.  It was a launch PS2 game.  It would be awesome to play it again in updated graphics.

The problem with fromsoftware is that they are just not that good. Most of the games they have created are pretty much rubbish.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

How about we clarify what the "Arguments" are here.

You're saying that because Home Consoles and Handheld are placed in seperate categories, they are entirely different types of machines.

I'm saying, that just because they are placed in seperate categories doesn't mean they aren't the same thing, in the same category over all. Propreitary, stand-alone dedicated gaming devices. Their classified in different categories, because its specificity allows for better analysis.

I mean, what do you think the point of subcategories are anyway?

Instead of making a tangential appeal to authority, just look at the definition of a console is. I mean, what do you think the "Home" in Home Console means?
