New handheld console announced : The Wiz

Game Park Holdings (GP32x, GP2X) just officially announced their new handheld - The Wiz!

"The most interesting thing is the Flash Player (Flash 7.0 compatible) and the planned release of commercial games. It has a LiIon battery built-in - and finally a place for the stylus! And a nice OLED display. If everything works as planned, it will be shipped in mid October. "

I don't think it will do to well.
My honest opinion.

Bnet3436487d ago

Dude I think that's everyone honest opinion ...

It may not do that well in North America, but it's obviously done well enough overseas that they're releasing a third iteration of their handheld console. I just looked at the GPX2 and looking at it's features, I'm thinking about picking one up. Of course it won't replace my PSP or DS but just that it can play DivX and Xvid videos makes it a worthwhile addition to my hardware library.

Naming a console after the act of urination may have worked for Nintendo, but something tells me that lighting won't strike twice in this case.

Sitdown6486d ago

"wii" is an act of urination? I must have missed that..

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
