Sony isnt playing their cards right.
They seem to be trying the gimmicks that Nintendo has been doing for some odd reason.
As much as gimmicks seem to be popular again, it just seems liek a bad time to suddenly jump into it when they are kinda the basic media machine makers they are.
Gimmicks need a little more oriognality than just what has already been done.
I guess they were waiting for it to be a little more popular first or something.
PSP has not had many great games. There are some good ones, but the machine focuses on graphics over gameplay. Wich is why most games dont seem to turn out well.
Plus Sony targets the rather popular named stuff. Say movie tie in games and what not that look like best sellers on paper if the game is good or not.
The PSP is a great media machine, but Im waiting till they go bust to buy one for a decent price.
They really messed up with its pricing here. I mean for those who have seen what the PSP is made of and have seen that the PSP sold for 150 bucks on Japan websites wonder why it costs double in the US.
The only reason is cuase they add a view extras and call it a value pack.
But then dont sell the system itself.
If they madea cheaper system only package, they woulda had moe sales.
I could also go on about the crappy D-pad, but thats a personal prefernce that has kept me from buying the machine just for hacking and emulator fun.
The DS has a more interesting look to it. Its a fresh idea and its cheap enough to afford.
Sadly that brings on more kids titles and even more movie tie ins for kids.
But developers were more interested in trying it since it was such a fresh new idea.
Though lacking the classic gameplay and just nearly skipping the whole 2D fighter genre has kinda left the PSP to receive all the good Capcom fighter ports :/
Kinda reminds me of how Dreamcast was getting all the Capcom games like mad while the PS2 was getting everything else and eventually the Capcom games.
Now the PSP is getting capcom's support and NDS is getting the other more differnt titles.
Though the dreamcast didnt have as much cheap titles.
I defintly see Sony finally falling down for once.
Though I doubt they will give up so easily.
Just wait, they've yet to pull their desperate move. They'll try something sooner or later.
But in the mean time we get some nice Wii sweatness and about everything we dreamed of playing
Arcade at home, but this time without boundries :3
The PS3 though, I do hope it gets some really good titles.
Even though I'll never buy one until its atleast 200 bucks or cheaper.
Sony is definitly being a little over confident this round.
599, I am not gonna sacrifice my pay check for that O-o
I gotta eat too ya know.
