Sounds like a new N-Gage is born. Hopefully it will be more succesfull. Still think it's more of a competition towards something like Ipod and mobile phones and not versus the handhelds.

You have your winner of the day right here...

It's an mp3 player that playes java based games. How's that competing with PSP and DS?

Yes, the PSP is shaking in it's boots.

The Zune will kill the PSP. It has HEXIC!!11

It can't produce 3-D graphics. And controls with a directional pad and two buttons. What games can play on that?

PSP = dead confirmed.

Well the PSP has already been relatively dead for well over a year now, only recently have we seen it still has a pulse.

So they're adding in some game functionality. That's hardly something to criticize... Just because the article over reacts to this small - and most likely welcomed by Zune owners - announcement doesn't mean we have to as well.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I have to wonder, though, will Microsoft ever come out with a true handheld gaming device?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

no they won't. makes no business sense. they're hardly dominating the home console market, i doubt they can much in the portable market.

This might potentially make Sony P*ss and F*rt at the same time.....




out of laughter....

but seriously i'm utterly clueless about the zune.

 Oh , you mean the constant hardware lead in Japan , constantly beeing #3 worldwide in hardware sales untill last weeks GTA phenomen , having an extremly close softwar attach rate to the DS in the US and  85% sales growth in the US over last year is just a pulse ... yep , the PSP is dead and the Zune will be the last nail in the coffin ...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

oh yeah PSP is doomed....damn

even though I am not exactly fond of the PSP I must admit a gimmick such a Zune game player can't kill it..



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
