If the DS were launched after the PSP, would Nintendo’s handheld still be as successful? The answer to this question could provide useful insight to how the Revolution might fair against the PS3 and 360. More innovative. Sooner to market. The DS had both. The Revolution will have the first but not the latter. The real question then becomes: does timing affect a console’s success, or do...
Who actually decided to purchase a PSP because of the mp3 or movie capabilities? Stick to games, guys: it’s what were here for. – some guy named Matt Well said. Makes Nintendo’s game-only strategy sound ingenious. (see CD-i post)
Do you remember this article? Back on March 1, CNN speculated that the GBA successor would be shown this year. Well it turned out to be a new model in the form of the Micro rather than the speculated successor. So what about a true successor? How soon might we know more about it?

What’s the difference between a game publisher and a game developer? My guess is that a publisher funds and oversees the game while the development house employs the programmers and designers to build the desired result. If that is the case, why would Nintendo, in the case of Minish Cap outsource the development to Flagship (Capcom) rather than develop it with one of their in-house teams? No...

Is EA the world’s biggest game publisher, or the world’s biggest sequel maker? The next 25/26 games they will release are sequels. Talk about a creative drop off. Sure, EA has made some good games, but this is exactly why the gaming industry is becoming just like boring, non-talent, mainstream Hollywood.
