Forums - Gaming - A way into the handheld market for M$ and Apple?

heruamon on 17 September 2009

Okay, as riddiculous as this might look, I think this might be a way to get handheld gaming a realiy on these PDAs.  I'm think maybe more of a clip on at the bottom of the device to allow for more traditional controls.

I can't get cozy with this, as it's NOT a handheld, but with that powerful chip in the new Ipod and Zune...alot of things are possible.

MS would own Apple. ... i think... one things for sure we need more companies to challange nintendo for supermacy, Sony is doing a outstaning job but there still 50m short. T_T

If MS and Apple jumped into the race it would look like this...

Nintendo - 25% / Sony - 25% / MS - 25% / Apple - 25% ...

The only bad thing about this exclusives would be as true as the HD consoles... which wouldn't be good in a way. :/

I can't see them jumpin in that deep...there devices are far more expensive, and capable of much more than regular handhelds.  I think they will try to siphon off casual gamers...nothing really hardcore and dedicated, like you see with DS or PSP.
