Sony PSP/Nintendo DS Opinion Piece

Posted by Zonk on from the two-new-players-at-an-already-crowded-table dept.

Mr Nash writes "The Armchair Empire has posted a lengthy op-ed about Sony's PSP and Nintendo's Dual Screen where the writer comes to the conclusion that "the market just doesn't appear to be ready for a pair of new handhelds to step onto the scene."

    I think you underestimate how deep Nintendo's pockets are.
    and how thin Sony's profits have been.

    Haven't had a challenge in the handheld market since the game gear? I can name five off the top of my head, all from large well established companies.

    My guess is that you're posting somewhere from Europe, where Nintendo doesn't have a strong presence. Crack open their financials, take a look at the world market. These guys are not hurting in any way, shape, or form.
