Xbox 360 sales halve in Japan From Slim to nothing?
Wow, In market share. Can the PSP2 Compete with the 3DS?
posted by isntchrisil
Where are you Chris? Say hello.
On it's face saying the PSP2 can threaten the 3DS is ludicrous. But, past performance is not an indicator of futre gains -- at least that is what they say in all the brokerage house prospecti. Just look at Sony and the PS3, and what they have had to do to get back to the starting line.
Now, the counter arguments:
1. By making the 3DS so powerful Nintendo has just walked into Sony's backyard. Sony gets it. They can learn from the mistakes of the PSP. Nintendo will be learning all the world of hurt that having nothing but home console ports as a library for a couple of years.
2. Ahh, that's all I got.
3. Okay, now I remember. Let's say the 3DS is $279 and the PSP is not. Like $229? Moms have to pay for these things for the most part. Even $50 can make a difference, especially when you have three loser kids to feed video games to.
Okay, so I don;t believe any of that ads up to Ninty losing dominance, but I do like to at least see things from both sides.
Oh Geek -- did you see the press room roast in the podcast thread? Warning, contains loud profanity (just like the regualr podcast).
Natsume wants WiiWare demos
And what Natsume wants, Robio gets.
Natsume STFU. Who told you you could speak?

And with that, I am gone for the night, as I feel asleep. Adieu gentlemen.
I was saying wow that a new poster has posted a news story without us knowing him. He's the writer of the article it seems. Hello!
Wow, should be attached to the 3DS losing to iPhone article, that editorial is WTF.
Killzone 3 with move video
Works just like wii. Seems strange to me weirdly because I remember all this from 4 years ago playing COD3 and Red Steel at launch. My mind sort of time loops back.
Normally I'd take offense, but frankly I'm not interested in playing demos of fishing games which is pretty much the only stuff Natsume has put on WiiWare. That and the worst installment of Harvest Moon of all time.
VC demos would help too.
Eurogamer Enslaved review
True, the gameplay mechanics aren't as impressive as the rest of the package. There's too much hand-holding and not enough depth to the platforming and combat. At times it all feels too familiar and formulaic, and there aren't any stand-out ideas here.
But there aren't any frustrating elements either. Enslaved is a solid, well-built offering which is a pleasure to play. The excellent storytelling, great acting and fantastic pacing elevate it above the ranks of your average action adventure, and indeed your average videogame. Here's hoping the gameplay pushes boundaries in the same way the presentation does when it comes to that sequel.

Iwata Discusses 3DS Specs With Investors
System's specs made so high to allow developers to bring their software over.
Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata shared a few bits and pieces on the 3DS hardware during a Q&A session with investors following Wednesday's Nintendo Conference 2010 press briefing.
On the topic of internal storage, Iwata said that the system does have internal NAND flash memory, but this will be used mainly for system purposes.
For download purposes, Nintendo is including a 2 gigabyte SD card with every system. Once stored on SD, games boot directly from the memory card, rather than first loading up into an internal storage place as is the case for the Wii.
Nintendo feels that customers have varying needs when it comes to memory, as some will not expand the system at all while others will download a variety of games to their system. Those who run out of space on the standard two gigabyte card will be able to switch to a larger one.
On the topic of battery life, Iwata did not share figures, but did say they expect the 3DS to be charged more frequently than the current DS systems. This is why they're including the cradle with the system, as it will make owners think that they should put the system in the cradle when they return home.
Regarding hardware specs in general, Iwata said that the number one reason the system's specs are so high is because Nintendo wanted to make sure that software developers did not think "Because of the specs, we can't make our game on the Nintendo machine."
The more powerful hardware was also required due to the need for a certain amount of ability for outputting the system's 3D visuals.
Outside of visuals, Nintendo felt that the current DS's lack of power was getting in the way of fully exploiting some of the system's features. For example, Nintendo's developers felt such things as "Tag Mode is interesting, but with the DS, this is the limit." Nintendo also wanted to allow people to temporarily pause DS games so that they could access other areas of the system, but this proved too difficult with the DS's specs. The 3DS, of course, allows this. By pressing the HOME button, users can access various system features, including the internet browser.
Finally, more powerful hardware was needed for using Augmented Reality technology with the system's 3D display. Nintendo seems to be pushing the AR component, going so far as to build an "AR Games" program into the system.
