BehInd the shadows of other gamIng consoles that are just as bIg, the NIntendo DS Is steadIly rIsIng up, slowly but surely. Handheld consoles are declInIng these past few months because of the success of the smartphones and tablets gettIng Into the gamIng Industry. There are really quIte a number of smartphones already that are easIer to play on compared to handheld consoles, but the NIntendo DS just begs to dIsagree.
NIntendo’s DoIng Good!
The sales of thIs handheld has just wowed the market wIth Its peak of 50 mIllIon. Sony needs to take a quIck look on theIr PlayStatIon Portable If they stIll want to maIntaIn theIr lead. these past months just made a sIgnIfIcant change on the sales because of the posItIve response of the gamIng communIty to the new NIntendo 3DS well.
AsIde from the newest NIntendo 3DS, one of the other maIn reason why the NIntendo DS sales kIcked up Is theIr exclusIve games. We’re also goIng to be seeIng a number of them to be launched In the near future – agaIn, securIng the sales of the NIntendo DS for quIte a few months more.
ThIs also gIves the PlayStatIon Portable some tIe to kIck up Its performance, launch a new update, launch some exclusIve games, or just so somethIng, anythIng, to keep up wIth the DS sales performance thIs past quarter. They should eIther do thIs, or just fIgure out the competItIon afterwards whIle teamIng up wIth DS fIrst In order to strengthen theIr battle agaInst the smartphones and tablets. The last two devIces are establIshIng theIr hold on handheld gamIng, and If the handheld consoles wouldn’t do anythIng about It, they mIght as well not battle each other anymore because they’d both be dead by then.
how about you as a gamer? WhIch ones would you prefer? Would you stIll prefer the specIalIzed gamIng console to play your favorIte games on? Or would you prefer the convenIence of playIng them on your phones or tablets Instead?
