ConAir said:
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.



fail



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

Well, now it's going to be PSP/DS killer? ;)

Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

Episode 1: OOPSY!

: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

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?

Tag, courtesy of fkusumot: "Why do most of the PS3 fanboys have avatars that looks totally pissed?"
"Ok, girl's trapped in the elevator, and the power's off.  I swear, if a zombie comes around the next corner..."

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
