forbes.com: The mobile ecosystem is awash with applications and games. Wherever you turn there are high quality applications available, many either free or at the 79p mark. Turn to the launch titles of the PS Vita, and you find titles like Uncharted Golden Abyss going for £45, Wipeout 2048 and Lumines at £35, and the ‘feeling like a tech demo’ Little Deviants for £18.
One game for the PS Vita, or over 55 games for your iPhone. That’s not a tough call to make.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
Nearly leapt off my couch in excitement at the sight of a positive Vita article. Then I read "The problem with Sony’s next generation portable gaming console was not the hardware, it was everything else."
Everything else? Really?
Screw you Forbes.
"One game for your PS Vita, or 55 games for your iphone"
Most handheld games are 1000 times better than anything on iOS.
Too bad casuals and non-gamers don't see it that way.
Very happy with my vita
Live my iPhone but the games suck compared to my vita
I knew it was the best. "Sony got the hardware spot-on and the PS Vita was perfect."
This is Forbes , a highly respectable magazine. They know their sh*t when it comes to video games and technology. Suck it Ninty fanboys , Vita wins 2012 and will win 2013. All the haters can GTFO.
Long Live Play
Not knocking the 3DS but why wasn't the title "The best hardware was the 3DS, Pity about the ecosystem". Or "One game for your 3DS, or 55 games for your iphone".
If these media journalist take off their fanboy glasses than they will realize that despite not having a system seller which the Vita currently does not have, the system has a lot of very high quality games.
I do not care how much an iphone game costs. Persona 4 Golden, Gravity Rush, LBP Vita are worth their price point. Heck i would pay $60 or more for Persona 4 alone. I would rather have 100+ hours of entertainment than 5 mins of an iphone game.
It's like having sex....would you rather enjoy yourself for hours or have a quicky that is a waste of time?
