Already peering into...

The next generation of handheld gaming. It sounds too early to think about it now, but the DS, PSP, and even the N-Gage have contributed some ground-breaking features to the mix. Looking at the big picture, I think these new systems are going to be an extremely small piece of what is to come. We all know that these companies never really collaborated to make the systems, but now that they're out, and have set their statements, I think a diffusion will take place between them, possibly grabbing ideas from one another, and compromising performance/price/ease, and vice versa versa(:P)

In debates beforehand(like a year ago), we all wrestled the features against one another, and chose our favorites from the bunch, but in the not-so-near future, I think we'll be seeing superbreeds of portable gaming products that aren't so different, except for signature games, button layout, etc. Although our current systems are great, they were also both rushed by demanding consumers and by each other.
PSP had a large focus on being an extreme machine with diverse functions for all areas of media, yet 2GB memory sticks are sold for more than a PSP is sold for; where's the sense? And how are you expecting to carry out this energy guzzling super-machine around for long with a typically short battery life?
DS focused on having diverse functions within a game, but in most cases, utilized one screen far more than the other, and made either the touch screen or buttons useless, because as we all should know, we only have two hands. It's graphics weren't as good as PSP, but thats fine for most gamers; in my mind DS was taking 15 steps forward- 10 of them which being half-steps, and then taking 1 or 2 steps back.

But the next generation, a chance to accomplish what they both set out to do, and do it completely right- along with PS3 and Nintendo Revolution graphics to tag along and all the other goodies that come out of a new generation of a machine.

Okay, I just typed this up because I was bored, boo hoo, but go ahead and think about it(and post your thoughts) anyway.

That right there made your entire post false.

Giving N-Gage any kind of praise (no matter how small) makes you receive a 0, out of 5.

=p


And can't we wait until they at least announce the names of these possible systems before certain people start argueing with everyone else over their opinions on a system?

How could they be thinking about new hand-held's already it's only been a few months and weeks since the PSP and DS were realesed.

And the N-gage doesn't deserve to have another one it was terrible and they completly copied Nintendo.

In conclusion: I think the hand held makers should rest for at least 3-4 months before thinking of another one.

Trust me, they already are designing new ones, just no info has been released yet/wont be released for a while now, so there isn't much to talk about. Video game designers get no rest. Before they finish games, they are already working on a sequel or another game.

Corrections:
N-Gage didn't copy Nintendo, it's a cellphone with better cellphone games.

Handheld makers always think about what's coming up next. They're human. Not really into official designing, but people always get ideas and fantasies, and I'm willing to bet anything that even a few developers have had ideas/fantasies for future consoles/systems.

Oh yes, the point of this thread is to discuss the unacceptable, but inevidible future for gaming products.(people don't want to think about a PSP2 right after they buy a PSP)

I wouldn't say scary. The lead designers at the two companies must have a passion for it, no? I don't think either system would have even been released if the designers didn't have a personal goal on the system.

And N-Gage was out before NDS. N-Gage deserves much hate, flaming, and more, but not in this area.
