From www.cnn.com 12/14/04 Today Microsoft has announced that it too will be entering the hand-held gaming business with big time companies, Sony and Nintendo. The designer of the project, Microsoft's William Johnson, stated in a press meeting today that "because of the growing interest in portable machines, such as Apple's iPod, Nintendo's DS, and now Sony's PSP. Microsoft feels that [they] need to respond to the consumer's needs." He also mentioned that they are aiming for the same audience that has made the Xbox (Microsoft's console system) so popular. In response to a question asked during the meeting Microsoft announced its project as "Codename: Xman". When asked why they chose the name Microsoft simply stated that their new hand-held will be a stronger more powerful system, hence the name "Xman." A mutant system with many capabilities. Although they released no information about when the project will become a reality, they seemed eager to enter the new race for strong portable gaming. - Fredrick Guthbert (CNN Media Reporter) So now it's DS VS PSP VS XMAN? Then Nintendo is releasing Gameboy Evolution. WTF just happend to the handheld market? microsoft is going to get pwned. |

That's weird. 2 months ago it was only Nintendo and now Sony and Microsoft are entering Nintendo's domain. Interesting. |

Handheld gaming is targeted to a younger audience. It's impossible to see a 5 yr old playing halo. Impossible.. Kids love Mario. Let that be. I have no problem with Sony because they're generated to a normal audience of gamers. |
