EA: 3DS is 'Magical'
Will sell like Hotcakes
EA’s chief operating officer John Schappert has lavished praise of Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS.
"The 3DS is just incredibly cool. The 3DS is magical. You put that in your hand, you look down, and all of a sudden it’s in 3D without glasses. That’s an amazing experience. I’m a huge fan," he told IndustryGamers.
"I think that device is going to sell like hot cakes. I think it’s going to do incredibly well, and in typical Nintendo fashion they have re-energized the industry, yet again. I give them nothing but credit and we are excited to be supporting that platform with Madden, FIFA, and The Sims that we announced."
In contrast, Schappert said that Sony’s PSP business “has been challenged” for a while now. "I hope they’re able to breathe new life into [the PSP] because it’s been a very nice platform to date, but it has been soft of late… I’d like to see Sony do well… It feels like yesterday when the PSP was on allocation because of Monster Hunter, wasn’t it? So, you know, give them credit. The boys are smart... they’ll do ok."[/p]

I am inclined to agree with EA here, the 3DS really is starting to look magical; the console itself, the 3D, the games line-up, 3D movies etc. Everything is just overwhelming, I expect this to completely outrank the PSP as soon as it is released and I will make sure to definitely pick one of these consoles up in the near future, even if it mean I have to 'buy' my games.
If Sony don't do something new for the PSP soon, they are going to get left behind and completely forgotten about.
