(Sorry about misquoting the EA thin. . .it's still bad news)
it's awright.
hmm...cellphones, it's really getting big in Japan.
Which is another reason it's so bad. These Japanese only cell phones ensure that the western market will be CUT OFF from many of these games, in the off chance they do turn out well.
PS3 and 360 are dead in Japan. The Wii is terrible. Developers can turn quick bucks, many, many quick bucks, on cell phone games. You hear people bitch about development costs, and margins. Cell phones are the best in both regards there.
The popularity of cell phone gaming, in short, makes a climate where developing games for consoles and handhelds makes little sense for developers.
But we'll see how things turn out in 5 years. There's nobody that would like to be as wrong about this as myself, but the signs of the past 2 and 3 years. . .much more worrying to me than waggle success.
