I have to say that does not look good. At least the yellow on the GC boxes was small in comparison. And I think the yellow on the Ps3 boxes are brighter. Ugly.

PlayStation3 knows how to do everything wrong the GameCube way:

Sony PS3 Platinum Range

YELLOW labeling.

In America the greatest hits PS3 boxes are red (as in the plastic of the case), if you get the irony you get a cookie.

I don't get the irony, the only thing that comes to mind is stores putting games into red antitheft boxes if they're rated 18 to tell the cashier to check the buyer's age.

Also AFAIK "PS2 the best" (Japan only I think) was yellow too.

The irony is HDDVD boxes have red plastic.

I wonder if they are HDDVD cases. I'll bet you that its uber cheap to get the stockpiles of those.

Nope, it's just fuzzy math. I mean, he's saying that by 2011 Sony will have sold as many combined pieces of hardware as Nintendo. The stupid thing is, he's including PS3, PS2, and PSP for Sony, whereas he's only including Wii and DS for Nintendo. Look, you can add up anything to be more than anything! Amazing!

I love how when somebody mentions to Sony that the Wii is outselling them by a large margin, they instantly fall back on "the Playstation platform". Like the PS2 is from this generation. That'd be like somebody talking to Nintendo about how the PSP is outselling the DS in Japan, and having their response be something about how "the Nintendo handheld platform (GBA and DS)" is outselling everything.

If the PS2 is still kicking in 2011 Sony either did something very right or did something very very wrong.

When asked if he thought Sony could ever get back the US$3 billion (£1.64 billion) poured in the PS3, he answered, “Not for as long as I live,”

lol

In a lot of ways, it's a shame. The PSP is a far more capable hardware platform than the DS. It's a phone, a portable music player, a pocket-sized movie device, a mobile web browser, and when paired with a Playstation 3, a remarkably capable remote control for the system, capable of streaming music and movies from a PS3 over the Internet to wherever you happen to be.

Whoever wrote this article is an idiot. None of these remarkable features he lists do anything to enhance the PSP's ability to play games. Sure, the DS doesn't have these bells and whistles, but these bells and whistles doesn't make the PSP a more capable gaming system. It's a better multimedia device than the DS, but an inferior gaming device.

The PSP fails by attempting to be a jack of all trades, but a master of nothing. As a gaming device it gets its ass handed to it by the DS; but as a multimedia device a consumer would be far better off grabbing a Blackberry or Iphone or something. So where does that leave the PSP?

Basically, the PSP is little more than a Punk teenager's shoddy imitation of an IPhone. If you want to look hip and cool but can't afford a quality device like a blackberry, you beg your parents to get you a PSP. Then you wear it on your clothes on a chain like Bling and never play it, because actually playing it would make you look like a loser.

I hate to regurgitate the argument but PSP's problem is that it didn't try to be a HANDHELD gaming system, it tried to be a mini-Console and that just doesn't work for the most part. It should be interesting to see how Nintendo approaches the next DS, I hope they don't just make it a mini-GC but stay true to designing it around stellar handheld experiences (maybe even beefing up the 2D engine).

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #2623 on:** December 30, 2008, 08:59:08 PM »

Maybe Nintendo could make their next handheld be a portable Wii, complete with miniature Nunchuk/wii-mote that snaps into the side of the system?

One thing we can be almost sure of is optical media in a handheld is a bad idea, and we know Nintendo's past feelings regarding optical media. And with the price and storage space flash can offer improving all the time, it's almost a certainty that Nintendo will reject discs for its next handheld.

But Sony on the other hand seems to love proprietary optical media formats, so I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP2 runs on Blu-ray minidiscs.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #2624 on:** December 30, 2008, 09:08:32 PM »

UMD or any disk is a bad idea for a handheld. For one it sucks battery life, two it has load times, three you need external memory to save everything, four and most important, it isn't nearly as durable and has for more that can break or get wore out.
