Nokia to re-enter games market, compete against PSP & DS {PSP Fanboy}
Dec 1st 2006 2:43PM to the execs at nokia, you need to pass what you are smokin' on to someone else. wasn't the original n-gage filled with features above the reigning competition at the time?
it is not, and never has been, easy to step into any console market. esp. handhelds.
untill the psp, nintendo has had many a would be contender step up with more features or what not and get knocked down like dominos sence 1989 with the game boy.
sony, with the playstation name behind it has been the only one to take a sizeable chunk and really make a name for itself in handhelds. for many reasons and qualitys which you lack nokia.
the very fact that you are pursuing this shows that you don't really understand why the n-gage failed. (yes it was poorly designed, yes it didn't have good support (for good reason), and yes you held on for far too long to that platform, but fixing these ideals isn't enough)
what's more, with the vast economic bloodbath that was the n-gage, you have established a huge distrust among the gaming community and various retailers. many believe the reason sega had a hard time trying to make a comback with the dreamcast was because of the distrust established with the failure of saturn and 32x. i really hope you have a plan in place to fix this problem.
read what Virtuous and 4ham have to say, then, if you really want to expand your markets into gaming and offer something new try making a standard 3d/cpu chipset and button layout that can be incorperated to all/most nokia phones and make it available to other cell phone manufacturers. maybe standerdize games so they can be ported from phone to phone like the numbers on my sim card.
just don't repeat your mistakes. it only makes youself looks stupid and games on phones as a whole will only take a step back in acceptance.
Pink PSP party photos {PSP Fanboy}
Nov 29th 2006 11:35AM if we had these in the states a month ago i would have bought one of these for my wife instead of the pink DS. i think she would have enjoyed it more overall and we could be doing that multiplayer thing.
... black, white, silver, blue, camo, pink, super expensive japan special editions.... why is it all we get is black?
(will there ever be a pink ps3?)
Black Friday leads to a 280 percent sales increase {PSP Fanboy}

Sony spread too thin, according to Microsoft exec {PSP Fanboy}
Nov 28th 2006 1:53AM his arguments are week. he says things as if personell resorces are finite and equal to every company. as if you can only have 30 people and if you want to focus on two or three consoles you must divide them into 15 or 10 person groups. like getting more people or properly allocating resorces from other departments is out of the question. this comming from a company launching the zune with the idea of possiby makeing a gamming version. read the aricule and you think M$ is proud of the 25 million consoles it made with xbox vs. ps2 and its 100 million. is the psp selling more consoles than ds ? maybe not, but with 22million and growing, by M$ standards it's already a sucess!
microsoft is still reaching for the kind of brand presence that allows a gaming division to expand into handhelds like sony did. they may not really want to get into that mix but i highly doubt an xbox branded handheld gaming device would have been in M$ best intrest this year or next. (esp when the xbox division has yet to return a regular profit, or make up for the billions already invested in it.) sony is primarily an electronics company. this is what they do every day across multi product lines, viao, bravia, walkman, playstation, etc.... and do it well.
Ladsaber, i think you are right. but i think M$ is talking out of its rear parts about what would happen if they tried to do what sony is already doing. with the recent jumps in psp sales and the ps3 now on the market, i think the playstation brand is maturing and going to cause a halo effect of growth for all 3 consoles for 2007 and beyond.
Did you score a PS3 on Black Friday? {PS3 Fanboy}
Nov 27th 2006 11:45PM isn't it kinda funny how many early adopters are shunning the 20gig. sounds to me sony hit the wrong ratio button on that one. at launc hthere should have been about 1x 20gig for every 20x 60 gigs. oh whatever,...
Now, go eat until you pop! {PS3 Fanboy}
Nov 27th 2006 11:44PM well, at least they gutted a 20 gig,....
