"The PSP Go, officially unveiled at E3 2009 back in June though openly acknowledged as the subject of a great amount of information leaks prior to Sony Computer Entertainment’s official confirmation, is set to launch on October 1st 2009 in North America and Europe, and brings with it a number of firsts. The most obvious of which is that consumers who purchase the product will no longer be able to walk to their local videogame retailer and purchase boxed software for the system, even if they wa..."
"Selecting a "winner" for each console generation is somewhat of a nonsensical engagement. Before even beginning to assess the merits of your sources of sales figures, release dates, review scores and other such relevant texts, you have to consider exactly what qualities a "winner" would possess. Would it be the largest quantity of widely renowned videogame releases of a high quality? Or that which had increased its library from the previous-generation to the greatest extent? Perhaps the defin..."
In this article from PocketGamer, writer Fraser MacInnes asks: should handheld gaming go download only?
The soon coming Nintendo DSi is already about a 1/4 of the way there with DSWare, with the PSP to offer some full titles before long. The games are generally small in size -- is this inevitable? Share your thoughts.
Sony are doing quite well this generation, though not as well as competitors Microsoft, nor that of the Playstation 2. So what should Sony do to help booster sales and connect their two platforms: Playstation 3 and the Playstation Portable better? Well one solution is to have trophies available on both platforms...
Sony just can't catch a break. But are the negative news articles warranted? I mean, its been a while since an exclusive game has popped up on the psp, while the DS has loads of them. Seems like Sony are the new MS when it comes to trailing behind the competition. What is going on with Sony this gen? Lack of risk-taking and being creative?
The below quote is a bit asinine. The author even asks why the psp has a optical drive instead of a flash drive, but the majority of the post is pretty ...
"Sony and third party publishers neglected to add many games to the PSP's software library in the second half of 2008. Nintendo calmed its usually aggressive handheld release schedule this year as well, allowing, atypically, third party publisher to shine with content as diverse as "Lock's Quest," "Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword," lots of Square-Enix role-playing games and Activision's unstoppable line of "Guitar Hero: On Tour" games."
Video game ratings are regulated in the United States by the federal government. With the presidential elections in the US coming tomorrow, you could be seeing some changes in how the ratings system on video games is done. With Obama last playing Pong, and McCain never playing a game (nor can he even check his e-mail, check article for video), almost anything can happen.
Matthew Gallant, of the site gangles, has typed up the history of the famous A and B buttons! Taking a look at Nintendo, Sega, Microsoft and Sony.
It starts from the revolution that was the NES controller with the break away from the joystick fad to the DS where the article's author was shocked to find it A and B instead of B and A. Though the basic functions have been kept the same, designs have changed. Sega and Microsoft consoles have been similar, also using the A and B theme. Yes Sony...
With a couple new games announced at E3 (MAG & Resistance: Retribution), and with Sony having a number of studios under the belt, many which are not currently known to be producing any games, and with Sony's "We will focus more on First Party Titles" comment, could it be that these companies are producing some unknown exclusive for the PS3 and PSP?
PSP Blogger takes an interesting look at the future of handhelds and consoles. Will the high prices and growing complexity of consoles force the average gamer to turn to handhelds? Or will gamers stick to their beloved consoles, no matter how expensive or complex?
PSP Blogger believes that in the future, gamers will purchase a PSP or DS, rather then choosing between many different (and expensive) versions of the Xbox 360 and PS3. Handheld purchases are just so much easier.
"Seems our little friend the PSP will soon be getting DivX Certification to allow for the downloading of movies and TV shows through the PC store, transferred from PS3 and from selected third party online retailers (psst...starts with G and ends with le).
DivX for PSP should be released within two months and be included with the 4.0 firmware update."
