Sunt ferm convins ca iarasi ma vor urâ fanbotii Nintendo (pentru ca fanii adevarati stiu exact despre ce vorbesc), insa am dat de un interviu pe BBC cu Bushnell (fondatorul Atari) in care acesta spune ca el pariaza in viitorul apropiat pe un iPod sau o tableta Android, in defavoarea consolelor portabile de la Nintendo. Stiu ca Nintendo nu are de ce sa se teama pentru ca vanzarile la consolele portabile merg foarte bine, insa nu cred ca evolutia pe iOS sau Android ar trebui ignorata. Mai ales acum cand sunt din ce in ce mai multe zvonuri referitoare la o consola de la Apple si Google. OUYA a deschis o mica portita (chiar daca nu e pe piata mobilelor), iar device-uri precum nVidia Shield micsoreaza si mai mult distanta.
Sunt curios ce credeti despre viitor (dar o sa va rog sa va retineti in a nega total ceea ce se intampla). Imaginati-va ca incepand de maine, cei de la Nintendo (asa cum o fac Capcom, Square Enix, EA & Co.) vor incepe sa faca jocuri pt. Android si iOS.
Sursa: BBC News - Nintendo faces 'path to irrelevance', says Atari founder.I don't think handheld game-only devices make sense anymore, not when you have an iPod or an Android microtablet. When it comes to the console market, I think the market is truncating... It's about taking game technology, mashing it up with brain science, and creating some pretty powerful software towards learning... We have some really powerful engines right now that are knocking it out of the park. You'll hear a lot about it in the next few years... Nintendo always had a soft spot for young people - they sort of did the 12-and-under pretty well, and the other guys did the 12-and-over. And now I think the other [consoles] are good enough on those things, and the rush to upgrade from the 12-and-under is not nearly as important.
