The Next Greatest Threat to Mobile Gaming

By DotEd. Saturday, 14. June 2008, 21:09:56

, , , ...

I should clarify that by 'mobile gaming' I am referring to all types of mobile gaming that are done on portable gaming devices, of which everyone [should know and] can agree that Nintendo DS commands a good portion of that market segment. Therefore my commentary on the topic does apply to PSP, GBA, and mobile phones, etc. to a degree proportional to thier share of that pie.

What Would You Play?

By DotEd. Tuesday, 25. March 2008, 13:44:37

, , , ...

We know what some of you aren't playing because of time or other constraints. But what about what you aren't playing because of system constraints?

With yesterday's reveal of Rock Band's (PS2 like) features for Wii, it seems developers are doing what they can to just get games onto Wii because the market demands it. But what about the other games? The GTA's, the Lost Planet's, the God of War's... (I'm trying to think of a third that isn't violent)... Forza's?

Is anyone not playing a game franchise that they would like to play because it isn't on Wii or DS (yet)?

Tyler Bleszinski Weighs in on Nintendo & the Wii

Tyler Bleszinski

I woke up this morning and found something really interesting in my newsfeeds through our affiliate The Tanooki. I would leave it to the Tanooki, but I don't particularly agree with Christian's statement that it makes sense. A famous video game developer's brother slams Nintendo and the Wii. Most people who have slammed the Wii have missed its point completely, and Mr. Bleszinski is no exception.

Nintendo Still Dominating Japanese Hardware Market

By DotEd. Tuesday, 26. December 2006, 16:01:45

, , , ...

Japanese Hardware sales for the week of December 11th - 17th:
  • DS lite: 319,708 Up 10,078 from last week [3.25%]
  • Wii: 108,237 Up 22,798 from last week [26.68%]
  • PS3: 70,942 Up 20,771 from last week [41.40%]
  • PSP: 48,962 Up 20,032 from last week [69.24%]
  • PS2: 37,730 Up 7,270 from last week [23.87%]
  • Xbox 360: 17,168 Down 18,175 from last week [51.42%]
  • GBA SP: 1,86729 Down from last week [1.53%]
  • Game Boy micro: 1,491 Down 64 from last week [4.12%]
  • Gamecube: 1,152 Up 583 from last week [102.46%]
  • Original DS: 158 Down 9 from last week [5.39%]
  • GBA: 42 Up 25 from last week [147.06%]
  • Xbox: 3 Down 3 from last week [50.00%]
With all these analysts saying "people will opt for an older PS2 if Wii and PS3 supplies are too limited," it sure hasn't happend. To make things clearer: Nintendo DS, Wii, and PS3 have been selling out completely so those system numbers could be higher if supply was more plentiful.

Nintendo was hopeful to sell about 2 million DS lites this holiday season, but with these numbers, it may end up being 2.5-3 million.

Is anyone suprised by these figures?
