Title: What company should make a console/handheld?
Post by: Tupin on February 17, 2008, 10:18:54 PM
I would really would like to see how Capcom would handle a system. Maybe Toshiba too.

Of course, Microsoft or Apple making a handheld would be awesome.

Capcom would fail, miserably.

Apple has mentioned delving into video games, and all I can say is "lord help us."

Mic has announced plans as well, I believe.

I want to see GameSpot make one so I can laugh at them horribly.

I agree with Toshiba and maybe Apple, though I would prefer if they just worked with Nintendo. Also, the government should go into the gamemaking business.

Microsoft's handheld would most likely be roughly the size of a Kleenex box, and Apple's would have one button. I don't think either company is suited for handheld gaming.

SEGA should make a handheld for old times sake.

I hope SEGA can produce a decent Sonic game before they even think of making another system.

Out of all of these, Toshiba sounds like the best option...

Also, a Gamestop system. :D

lol.

And a SEGA system would be cool too.

Nobody. The market is crowded enough right now.

Probably a company that makes good games. If they rely too much on 3rd parties, I don't think many people would jump on board when there's 5 other major consoles to deal with.

Capcom, Square, Sega and Microsoft are the only plausible choices.

Maybe not apple, but I would agree with Toshiba.

Also, Derris-Kharlan.

I would rather companies focus on quality game than making a console or handheld.


The current market is well balanced, Nintendo offers kiddie games and mini game collections, Sony offers RPGs and a mixture of the other genres, and Microsoft offers FPSes and other PC type games.

Hm...

Well, Nintendo is the undisputed master and I dont see Microsoft doing any better than its own version of the PSP.

After the Pippin I don't want to see Apple in the game business for a very long time....


Anyway I think it would be interesting if Atari gave it one more shot.

There is something called a Barcode Battler, too.

Introducing, the new Apple video game system! In this interactive video game system, you slam your fingers onto the buttons in various terrorism simulators.

We call it the iSlam.
