This is really just a chance to test a block quote.

That's what I said. When it comes to portable gaming, we like the Nintendo ds and Sony psp, both gaming dedicated systems from well-known companies. Any other portable system here from a company that is virtually unknown in the states will fail miserably because everyone here would far prefer to own a psp or ds, not a cell phone gaming device.

The PSP and DS are dedicated gaming devices. I think what this sucker is attempting to target is the mobile phone market that seems to be booming in Japan, but not so much here. I guess you could call it the casual mobile market.

dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> This looks oddly close to a Xbox Portable concept I saw long ago.

Yep, you're so right. The PSP and Nintendo DS are such failures compared to the consoles that they're outselling. America will never buy into the portables that they're buying in troves. It's just not a viable platform.

I sent info about this months ago...

oh well...

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> This will fail horribly. American consumers just don't care for this sort of product. Yes, we like to play games on our tv's and computers, but when it comes to portable gaming we all prefer gaming dedicated systems from well-known companies.

Oh... The GUI is a chalkboard... I'm guessing we're talking the 6-14 demographic then?

And is that the MSIE icon? Does it actually use Explorer or does that just signify some lame WAP browser. Can I get my foxfires on there?

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> @Furysetzer: Sounds good in paper actually, your theory. The bad thing is that these companies dont do good things with these products.
I'm not even saying that people wont play this...people wont even KNOW about this thing.

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> Doesn't look THAT bad... but the concept model already has flaws.

Why did they put the buttons on the middle, instead of putting them closer to the borders? Was this made for aliens who have thumbs the size of their middle fingers?

Still, I have to agree... this will probably fail hard.
The only way I see a cellphone making a great portable is when a major portable company decides to make a portable with cellphone functions.. not the other way around.

Simply because it's way harder to enter the gaming hardware market than entering the cellphone market.

difancer

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> The design certainly looks good. I, for one, could be persuaded to get something like this next year. The hitpoint they have to nail is having some multitude of flash games available for play/ download. If they could tap into the casual games market and form alliances with the likes of pop cap and reflexive, they might actually be successful with this.

None of that cartridge crap, thank you very much.

Interstella5555

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> well i like the looks of the device quiet a bit...reminds me of a combo between old school video game controllers and modern day tech. i dont know the specs but if i was them i might focus on creating a website (possibly voter based) that would keep track of all the best flash games on the net. there are certain sites that major in having flash games, but they certainly dont have all of them. and there are some little random ones out there that are addictive as hell (like this one i played a while back that was a side scroller shoot em up that was matrix themed)

anywayz, thats my two cents. i think though that these companies really need to work their asses off in finding their niche market before even beginning to develop this kind of stuff.

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> IMHO, games sell a gaming device, so if this contraption wishes to play up its gaming capabilities and not be regarded as simply a phone, they better start announcing some titles, and those better be awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[Another Mobile Gaming Platform No One Will Play]]> Is POSDATA and POSBRO for real? You'd think someone might pick up the POS acronym...

argh
