Sony Trash Talks DS

[ShadowMarth]

This is insane... The minute magazines and websites actually start to realize the PSP has a bad lineup, and the UMD format was rediculous,(namely 1up and slashdot), this comes out. They say that it's a gimmick, and will fail, because only pokefreaks like it. Yeah... and everyone loves the PSP, not just metal gear fans.

Judging from the comments from the gamers of 1up, they agree that this was BS. Sony's not helping themselves here.

As if our opinion of Sony wasn't bad enough. It's like they WANT to look stupid. :?

Heh, I think Sony should save themselves from talking to the press - and concentrate on improving that current PSP line-up....

[Lkr]

its not that bad. the ds had a pretty bad lineup at the very beginning ;) . and the current amount of PSP games is enough to last.

Quantity over quality, big mistake. I think, a man who lost 8 fingers during the war would easily be able to count how many QUALITY games are in the PSP's lineup.

I do, however, agree that the DS line-up wasn't too good, and now we're struggling to decide over two 9+ rated games! :D

Roll on the good times!

Yeah, Nintendo was smart to do it this way. With both of these heavy hitters out on the same day, it's boosted the opinion of the DS MASSES. If they had come out a couple weeks apart I couldn't imagine the same response. Now that the DS has the momentum to get to the holidays, we can expect Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and some third party online games to give the DS a heavy edge.

In the same breath though, SM, they will have lost a lot of sales by playing it this way. Had they released the games a month apart, fans of both would be easily, in most cases at least, get both games. Now we have already seen that some are having to choose between one, and perhaps leaving the other in preparation for MK.

I do agree that it has improved the image and opinion of the DS though. It's no longer 'that-promising-system-with-no-games', but one that's actually living up that potential (and at least that gimmick can churn out great games, Sony!)

[ShadowMarth]

Yeah, they obviously went for the DS image over sales. Just nintendo's style. That will likely boost American sales for the DS.

First off, never listen to a bald men with big ears. They are gremlins in disguise!
