30 Quotes From GDC 06

Next Generation has a piece with 30 notable quotes from last week's GDC conference. From the article: "Mitch Lasky, Senior VP of mobile EA - 'There are too many bad games. The fact is, most games suck. It's the greatest danger to the future of this business. There's a real danger of an Atari 2600 episode here, given the oversupply of poor quality content, followed by consumers abandoning the platform.'"

A game platform gives them some method of differentiation

Doesn't that make it a gimmick? I don't mind calling cameras, games, ringtones, and tv on phones gimmicks. I just want a phone that has a clear way of communicating all the phone information I need to me. I can take pictures with a camera, carry a Game Boy for games, and type notes into an old PDA.

But I can't don't have the cash or pocket/belt space for that, so I got me one of them fancy phones. I don't play games or take notes on it though. Just use the camera. SonyEricsson s710a. The real reason I wanted it is because it can tote a lot of infomration very easily. However, I only learned that it's Memory Stick Duo was not a 'Pro' and maxes out at 128MB cards. Still, that's a lot of camera photos and lot's of home-made ringers.
