Wanna trade in your PSP for this one, don't cha?? Hmm?? Admit it, you know you want one!! Me? I'm going to wait and see how this baby handles before I start drooling for it. Sony has a bit of a bad track record with their V1 machines. But it's still exciting to see!
Actually, even the usually cynical gaming media towards all things Sony has been pretty hyped about this portable for quite a few months now. The general consensus is that this is a pretty sweet machine, and for a very attractive price as well. The only thing new today is that we have the official name now.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued to see where this might take Augmented Reality (AR) gaming in the near future. Right now the technology is very niche and unimpressive by gaming standards. But I predict AR is going to be the new shiny trend in years to come. One day, even, it will be an integral part of our every day social interaction. I think gaming will have a role in that integration
Probably too much to place on the plate of this one machine right now, though. But with GPS, internal gyroscope, touch screen, front and back cameras . . . it's got a very nice leg up on the other portable gaming gadgets out there. A smart developer can paint awesome things on this canvas.
