Ah, so anything that can play Angry Birds is a gaming platform now. Noted.

Navick4535d ago

I would have to say yes it is a gaming platform but no it is not a "dedicated" gaming platform.

What the heck does it have to do with PS Vita and PSP?

Nothing the article was just approved without checking for bad editing.

It's becoming pathetic. Anything that can play a simple flash game, or shallow pointless app, is suddenly a "gaming handheld" rather than a device that can play simple games.

There is a clear distinction, and it really needs to be made. Look at the actual gaming handhelds, yes, they may have features outside of their core scope, but they don't pretend to be anything other than gaming handhelds with some additional features.

It is ridiculous.

Bad news for sony and nintendo

Bolts4535d ago

Amazon's tablet is a step back for Android regardless of how many units it sold. The damn thing is under powered, uses an outdated version of the OS and funnel its users into a closed ecosystem that goes against Android open market system.

I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.

An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

Why Epic's Win Against Apple And Google Paves The Way For The Future Of Mobile Gaming

Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.

shinoff218350d ago

I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.

AlterRecs49d ago

tru dat, but i feel like it's gonna be a lot more viable for people who travel a lot or don't want to invest in a full gaming rig. Think of it as a Switch on drugs, with a LOT more room for free illegal downloads.
