Well it becomes less important to keep track of things.
Quote:To the second paragraph of the post mentioned in that comment. The first one, about mature GB games, you did, but not the second one about adults in handheld gaming... at least not there. You did eventually, though, as the fact that we kept arguing about the subject makes clear...
So I responded to it or not?
Quote:The points I made in that series of posts, now that you read them and understand what I was saying!
Oh, and its pretty clear that your mind was elsewhere.
Yeah I was at work when I posted that. I have a few seconds to post in between tasks.
Quote:Many PC games are still just for the 'hardcore', but some are mainstream... see Myst and The Sims... those two games did a lot to mainstream gaming. Well, SimCity before The Sims, but The Sims sold better...
There are a handful of titles that do enjoy mainstream success, but still nothing on the level of console sales.
Quote:True, it'll shake up Nintendo for sure... less porting, more new games. Not that the GBA doesn't have a massive library of unique games, of course... but there are a lot of ports. Yes, that will probably change for the better... but I just don't see handheld titles getting the development and marketing dollars of major-console ones. Sorry.
Well it doesn't matter what you think is going to happen, because it's going to happen with or without your approval. According to EGM, Sony's development resources are going to be split half and half between home console and handheld development.
