Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Sony: "DSi ignores significant gamer groups, is only for kids"

If Nintendo is really committed to reaching a broader, more diverse audience of gamers beyond the “kids” market that they’ve always engaged, there isn’t much new with the DSi to support that. Significant gamer demographic groups are being ignored, and there continues to be limited opportunities for games from external publishers to do well on the DSi. Compare that with the PSP platform, where we have many blockbuster franchises from our publishing partners launching this year, representing a wide variety of genres and targeting diverse demographics. Games such as Rock Band Unplugged from MTV Games, Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft, Dissidia Final Fantasy from Square Enix, and Hannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP. From our own first-party studios, we’re launching unique versions of LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm, and we’re also planning a steady stream of downloadable games — both new titles and PSone classics — to add to the content that PSP owners can already purchase wirelessly through PlayStation Store.

UUhmmm What??

Lol wut? You (Sony) don't have any mascots that are IN-HOUSE (Nintendo has Mario, Zelda, etc.). You rely too much on your damn third-party relations. Oh, and since your consoles are so far behind in worldwide sales, I'd like to see how third-parties are going to support your systems. "We've got Hannah Montana." Um, so does the DS and then some. And yeah, your "LBP" just passed 2 million worldwide...within 5 months LOL It's a flagship title, as you say. Well, compare that to Pokemon and you eat the shit that Nintendo spent (like on food) and then crapped it out so you will have to eat their waste.

Just stop it. Please. Stop. It. Thank. You. Stop your stupid propaganda and PR spins. You're not doing good business-wise.You are like a wimp who is all tired out after using steroids only to have someone who has worked harder than you (Nintendo) and beat you at your own game with legit motives and business strategies. Please. Your stupid idea of making an expensive shit-brick of a console and selling it for a loss and only obtain your revenue from software SUCKS ASS. Especially if you know it's going to bite you back in the ass.

All the people I know who have a PSP use it to watch porn, listen to music or watch movies. Games? There are none, besides ROMs and hacked games from NINTENDO. Maybe I should report your company to Nintendo for software piracy. How is that? Oh wait, I just did for kicks.

Did Sony raped you or something?

 

Kratos, Sackboy and Ratchet and Clank are the first i rememberd

 

Yes, because Wii has the biggest 3rd party support of all 3 consoles

 

LOL, its the new franchise and it its sill going strong.

 

Sounds more like your job since your are the biggest fanboy i ever saw

 

Raping again?

 

PURE TROLLING

  

 

Yea and i kown 6 year old DS owners are all mature who have 6000 0000 expensive car, big house in Hollywood...

Haha. I loved especially the part where he is talking about DS reaching only kids (ignoring games like Brain Training and NSMB) and then telling how PSP is getting "DS games", including shovelware titles, 27000th FF rehash on this gen handhelds and ports from DS games.
Of course, it's good for PSP to have more downloadable games from PSN, but DSiWare surely don't catch wind.

What this statement was about, is games like Chinatown Wars and the new functions of DSi (including DSiWare) is hitting the PSP market of teenage kids, where DS wasn't that much competing earlier. Now that it may be changed, this kind of panicshitting is somewhat expected.

Oh boy what is a good word to describe people who never learn? Idiots? Mental? Delusional?

I would have thought that given the results of DS v PSP and Wii v PS3 Sony would have taken enough humble pie and just shut up about Nintendo rather than continuing to make themselves look stupid. This is quite similar to what they said before the release of DS.

 DS v PSP and Wii v PS3 doesn't have to be about sales. PS3 and PSP are both much more powerfull than DS and Wii, have better graphics, multimedia, better online, more features...

"Games such as Rock Band Unplugged from MTV Games, Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft, Dissidia Final Fantasy from Square Enix, and Hannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP."

You mean just like Guitar Hero has had 2 games on the DS, Assassin's Creed has been on the DS, Final Fantasy has been on the DS multiple times, and I'm sure Hannah Montana has too (though I don't see how that's worth boasting about)...

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. This sounds like the crap people were saying before the DS and PSP launched. Welcome to 5 years ago...

True, but what good is that when the DS has a much bigger amount of quality games than the PSP? 3rd party support between Wii & PS3 MIGHT be debatable in that they don't have really much to offer in terms of good 3rd party exclusives. I know about the Wii having tons of shovelware, but a lot of that shovelware originally came from PS2.

PSP ia about to get lots of great exclusives, like Little Big Planet, Motorstorm, Resistance, Patapon 2... Sony admited they didnt focused on PSP lately.

And PS3 got Resistance FOM, Resistance 2, MGS and Yakuza 3 as good 3d party exclusives.

I dont know why is everybody comparing sales here. Sony never said anything about DS sales. Yes, we all know DS already have those games, but we all know PSP version will look at least 10 times better.

Its not always about graphics, its about the quality of the games.

I am getting sick of these comments that ds is for kids. Its for everybody and its that reason the DS is killing the PSP with both hardware and software.
