The Nintendo DS is too big already. It's too late.
The Nintendo DS is too big already. It's too late.
I love reading what these ignorant magazine editors have to say about the gaming industry. NONE of them can ever predict things correctly, because they just don't understand why something is successful in the gaming industry.
The DS, for example, is successful because:
Price + Nintendo + Japan + Image
The touch-screen is almost incidental (though very much appreciated), the real seller is how it’s been advertised as a new kind of system. It's a refreshing experience for hardcore gamers, and something that “non-gamers” could wrap their hands around. The iPhone will always be known as just that, an ipod phone.
If I had $400 bucks to fork out for a new gaming handheld device, I'd buy a GP2X and a PSP and still have 62 bucks left over for a couple memory cards.
The iphone is slick like most every apple product, but like so many of apple's other products it's "for the classes, not the masses".
Now for a 8hour seminar by Jobs about how all these other phones are just copying the iphone.
Yea right, like thatll ever happen, it never will. The ds has touchscreen AND buttons. Plus the ds has castlevania, nuff said.
(Castlevania wins me over, and if an iphone had a castlevania on it, i still wouldnt buy it just because its made by apple, yes i boycott everything made by them)
i just love it how they always say the ds will lose to "So and so" just because it has a touchscreen
psht, add buttons please!
Shut up forbes whoever you are, and how many idiots have said this new hand held is going to beat nintendo....nothing will ever beat nintendo with hand helds.
Nintendo has far greater experience with gaming and I don't think slightly better hardware will revolutionize anything.
