Nintendo to release Nintendo 3DS


Nintendo will launch a 3d device which will be the successor to its DS portable gaming device, the best-selling gaming device ever (as of the end of December 2009, Nintendo has sold 125 million units compared with the about 60 million units of the PlayStation Portable sold by Sony during the same year). The new device won’t even require special glasses.
No more details on the new products will be available until June 15, when Nintendo 3DS will be officially presented at the E3 event.

New Apple tablet to pose a threat to DS and PSP?


Will the new Apple tablet really pose a threat to Nintendo (NTDOY) and Sony (SNE)?
The latest speculations say so, as Robert fabricant from FastCompany argues that Apple tablet will be the final step towards a total Apple-dominance of the game market. It even removes the greatest hurdle so far concerning iPhone (namely, the tiny screen).
Many says, though, that this threat is rather a long-term one, as PSP and DS owners won’t stop buying expensive games for now opting for low-cost tablet games; moreover, there won’t be as widely owned as to pose a serious threat – for now at least :)
What do you think?
