Nintendo and Sony vs Smartphones and Tablets: Post – Portable Gaming Era

It looks like I have what Jamaicans refer to a “Goat mouth”: I speak and it happens. The reason for my observation? A barebones article of mine on the slow death of Console Gaming titled Console Gaming’s Downfall – Future is up in the Clouds appears to be coming to pass, as evidence of its demise has now surfaced. In effect the so-called “Post-Portable Gaming” Era. A term coined and used here first folks!

Sony aiming to get it right with the Playstation Vita

The playstation Vita is the successor to the Playstation Portable and while the PSP wasn't a failure there are many things Sony got wrong with their first foray in the handheld market. Sony is aiming to get it right with the Playstation Vita while while leveraging the experience gained from the PSP. For starters the PSV is dripping with technology in the form of a quad core processor, dual joysticks and a big bright screen. The games list is already looking quite beefy and connectivity to the Playstation Network including trophy support is definitely a hit with consumers. Then there is the price $250 for a Wi-Fi only model and $300 for the WiFi +3G model which is very reasonable for what the consumer gets. Launch dates and games list The Playstation Vita launches without a region lock ...

PlayStation Vita’s US and Europe Launch Delayed until 2012

The successor the PSP has been delayed and won't arrive in North America and Europe until next year. The is very unfortunate as since being revealed as the "Next Generation Portable" or NGP in January and detailed at their E3 2011 press event the Playstation Vita was creating quite a buzz mostly due to it's specs, featured games and attractive $250 price. With the Nintendo 3DS stumbling out the blocks with lackluster sales, few games and having to resort to big price cut the Playstation Vita was expected to be in a good position to challenge for the handheld gaming crown if it could be available in the lucrative Christmas season. The Vita will be available in Japan in time for Christmas but with the west left out it will put a dent in the Vita's success, just how big or detrimental a de...
