The UMD and PSP Getting Off The Ground

1up is running a piece examining Hollywood's relationship with Sony's UMD format. From the article: "Two UMD movies sold 100,000 units within two months. By contrast, one of the earliest DVD releases, Air Force One, took nine to achieve the same goal. DVD and ticket sales are on the decline, Hollywood needs a new source of revenue while they pick up the pieces, and PSP's handheld UMD format is turning into the glowing solution." Relatedly, Next Generation is running an article taking a look at the increasing quality of original games coming out for Sony's handheld. From the article: "After an embarrassingly slow start, the PSP has begun to find its niche with developers; likewise, Sony's internal studios and publishing division have gotten really adventuresome lately, with big and little games, both in tested genres and genres those games serve to test."

Hell, you could just link the "Older Articles" to 1up.com and a personal Zonk blog. Same difference.

I don't like to be viewed as a whiner, but I think people need to start speaking up about this. Everyone just instantly mod's you a troll or flamebait when you try to voice your opinion about this issue.

Many people are unhappy with Zonk's "performance" and it needs to be made known. Karma be damned.
