Sony's Ludicrous Response to DSi

[Joel]

Called the DSi for "kids." Read more at Wired (http://blog.wired.com/games/2009/04/sonys-ludicrous.html).

Sony's greatest idea was the WalkMan. Unfortunately they kinda struck out when they retired the Sony Clie Line. The PSP did receive a bit of Help from the staff that was moved from developing the Sony Clie lineup. It took a while but transfering NetFront to PSP developed from a Hack into a full blown option for PsP slim.

Sony should offer a keyboard for PSP but I suppose they reserve that option for those who they figure might want to purchase the Mylo handheld. Typing website HTTP and other words is a pain, it is similar to texting on a regular phone.

Maybe every so often the managements should kick the employees into thinking that Keeping things simple is very important. Obviously they love to be too technical at times.

Sony being childish on switiching postions from first to last with nintendo now. The DS is a great system and if having games like Grand theft auto Chinatown wars make it a kiddie system, well then I'll be a kid! I just hate how perspecitve of a "kiddie" system means bad games. Professor Layton, Henry Hatsworth, Zelda all look kiddie bit they are great games.

Don't forget the Nintendogs and Cooking Mama series. Sony has nothing close to that.

Speaking of DSi, is anyone going to be picking one up? I will later if my shoulder buttons stop working, I hear that the DSLite is prone to that ;_;. Right now I'm happy with the Zelda DSLite. Anyone here grabbed a DSi from the midnight launch? I'm curious on how it would compare to the previous models, like battery life, brightness, speakers louder, buttons firmer?, etc. Now if Nintendo release some kind of Limited edition model (Metroid Please), I'd probably get it. I'm just a sucker for those LE models of my favorite games.

The DSi camera resolution is similar to my Th-55, but added software to make photos more interesting or funny is nice.

I am disappointed that PSP has not brought the camera option to the US. (you can buy an exported version from Japan but they were recalled) Yet my slim psp shows that it is camera addable.

If enough people post stuff about gaming devices I'm sure 1src would get more visitors. I tried a bit to raise awareness of PSP but it is a (almost) thankless job. I do like it that I get more traffic to my blog, sometimes I get people to visit for Palm trivia.

I wonder if anyone will be writing about e-book experience on the DSi?

Currently my DS is the property of my 2 year old. So I don't get to play with the DS much. It would be a waste to have him play with a DSi... ;)
