A handheld xbox? Ive seen this already on IGN's predictions but gimme a damn break, who the hell would think they would release another 'system' when there last one has had the worst failure rate in the history of gaming. 100% false imo.

A portable XBOX!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna get a heart attack!!!! Having Halo 2 on my portable gaming device!!!! I hope it's true cause you know how microsoft has surpassed Sony's PS2 and PS3, maybe they can even surpass the psp!!!! But I won't buy it if it has vista on it cause it would then get a million viruses will downloading homebrew for it XD!!!!! But Halo 2 portable (and with wifi online) would be enough for me to cough up to 350 dollars!!!! Imagine they'd put 1gb ram and a processor as powerful as an xbox (the psp, meh, it's a ps2). OMG Halo 2 portable and online!!!! And propably has a better interface like all windows software!!!! Maybe if it comes with vista then with portablexboxupdates.com I can install Mac on it and that way is the perfect portable!!!!

First of all, a portable system like the PSP is nowhere near the power of a console, just because the size needed for all of the parts, unless you want to pay a pretty buck, and developers want there system to sell, even if they have to take it down a notch.

Actually, in some areas, the psp surpasses the ps2. I think it falls short on memory (ram and such), and I remember reading an article saying that the ps2 could send 2 commands per clock cycle or something like that.
I think the psp is pretty close to the power of a console.

i agree with you about why microsoft's leading, except for on the broken console part... Microsoft replaces inoperable consoles for anyone who bought and live in the countrys Xbox is released in.. so they generally lose money each time somebody's console breaks.
They don't however replace inoperable replacements.. which somewhat defeats the purpose for sending one.. so they do make money in those cases.

» omg halo will you marry me?
Seriously people. So what if halo comes up on a portable? It'll probably suck ball. Remember the psp? OMG MGSPO on the PSP!!! So what? It didnt sell that well did it? The thing is that console remakes on portables do not sell well. Portables are for on the go and such a big game wouldnt be fit for a protable. I got a psp and I've enjoyed games like crush and lumines more than other cheap remakes.

» in reply to that crazy kid
putting 1gb of RAM into this portable xbox would be crazy. the psp only has 64mb. and they wouldnt put vista on it. why not? well... does the 360 have vista? your thinking more of a tablet pc or a laptop mate. and they wouldnt make it open source, so putting mac on it? damn. your pretty stupid.
and for the wii shortage. it DOES exist. ive been trying to get one for about a month now, and there is a HUGE shortage. and now im going to wait for the one with the hard drive, which i think nintendo would probably sell for about 299.99. and im guessing a 20gb? id pay 300 for it. and the psp redesign is going to take a while to hack. if it will be hackable that is. theyve learnt from there mistakes.

Sony announced a price drop today for the ps3 and announced a 80gb ps3 bundled with motorstorm! Found news on gamegossip (best game news site cause they get everything before other places, but it's boring cause only nerds post comments there unlike here that comments here joke and disscuss against each other ect.). Anyways here is the news:
Sony Computer Entertainment America(SCEA), Inc. today announced a new 80GB model of its PLAYSTATION3 (PS3TM) computer entertainment system. Beginning in August, the new PS3 model will be available in North America for a suggested retail price of $599/$659 CND and will be sold with the popular online-enabled racing game MotorStormTM. In conjunction with this news, the company also announced that effective immediately, the current 60GB PS3 model will be available in North America for$499/$549 CND, or $100 below the original launch price.
By featuring an expanded hard disk drive (HDD), the new 80GB PS3 is designed to appeal to the online gaming and entertainment enthusiast, providing ample storage space to download more games and other entertainment content from PLAYSTATIONNetwork. There are currently more than 60 playable games and game-related downloads available through PLAYSTATIONStore, with expanded entertainment content coming soon. The new model features the million-selling game MotorStorm in the box, allowing up to 12 players to play online at one time, hitting the dirt in this visually-arresting, fast-paced racing title.

you buy a X360 if u want to play the best games + a PS3 if you want a HD movie player ---> PS3 will be a games console when it actually gets good games to play on it.

» Did you even read the article?
Mate, seriously? Did you actually read it? It was all said in sarcasm. Take a better look before you post next time.
XBOX 360 despite some technical problems in SOME systems, is a GREAT GAMING CONSOLE, proven if nothing else by the 100's of hours of fun I've gotten from my mates console. The PS3 is also great, as is the Wii for their own, similar reasons.
I'll gladly accept an MS handheld into the market (so long as its Vista free), and the only other new piece that actually interests me, the PS3 price drop, might push me towards the PS3 instead of XBOX 360 I was going to get.
Buy whatever you want, they're all good in some way IMO.

C'mon, people! There were 4 other announcements, and you guys start the platform wars again just because a liar said that MS would have an MSPortable. What about PS3 price drops? I have always been a loyal Nintendo guy, but with a PS3 price drop, I could see myself buying one. Wii Hard Drive? Sure, I'm up for it, but how much would it cost? The rest? PSP2? Well, maybe. E307 could spell disaster for the DS Lite if PSP2 and MSPortable are released/announced here. That could be interesting. But hey. I'm just a gamer here. No preferences or loyalties anymore. I've played the Wii and 360, and PS3 looks cool (minus the price), and I'm willing to vote in any direction, although I admit a soft spot in my heart for the DS. Anyways, let's just go back to gaming, okay, people? THANK you.

» I have tested...
the DS, PSP, 360 and PS3. I like to think I'm not taking sides but from what I've seen, the DS sucks so badly I can fathom why it's doing to good aside from the childish asians that love that kind of lame $h!t. So one could say that the only reason it's doing so good is because it's for kids and asians. Regardless, the DS is pure junk! I own one and can't get rid of it. I don't even use it because it sucks so badly compared to the PSP. 360 is nice but the PS3 smokes it. Now I've been waiting for the X-Held to arrive and the PSPlite, this will be very cool if they are both showed at the E3. I'd like to see what the X-Held is capable of and whats new with the PSPlite. I haven't even touched a wii because it looks like an over grown DS and yall know how I feel about DS by now. So in short, I'm looking to the X-Held + PSPlite as real E3 news. I love nintendo but eveything after the N64 is just a flat flop to me. So I guess now it's up to MS and SONY to keep the market for gaming consoles going because if nintendo keeps up at the rate they are going, they'll fade away like sega did, if they keep producing trash like DS and wii, I eagerly anticipate their most imminent demise.

Yes! A hand held from MS would be cool, no reason to fight about it.
Yes, it is unrealistic to think about running Halo 2 on it (regardless of how cool it would be)
One more thing while I am on my rant here. Buying a Wii does not make you suck. The Wii is a very entertaining console. You all need to forget new graphics and physics and go back to the game play. The Wii has some pretty ingenious stuff. It was designed as an inexpensive,fun and interactive system.

One more thing while I am on my rant here. Buying a Wii does not make you suck. The Wii is a very entertaining console. You all need to forget new graphics and physics and go back to the game play. The Wii has some pretty ingenious stuff. It was designed as an inexpensive,fun and interactive system.
"breathing heavily"
Ok. I'm done.

On my current basis, you must not take the NZ Herald seriously. A lot of former employees there that worked in the technology division were anti-Nintendo fanboys. One that I know of is still working there.
When it comes to gaming, please don't take the NZ Herald seriously.

NZ Herald is a terrible news site. I take anything on there with a huge grain of salt, and their print newspaper isn't much better.
In this case, there are rumours on the internets, these guys write about it, and that somehow validates the stuff they read on some other rumour site, because they're a "news" site.
Gah.

Being a New Zealander, I am ashamed that our biggest newspaper is spreading rumours like this. I wouldn't say that they're terrible, but if you get the chance, do have a look as to what "National" headlines are (i.e what constitutes as "news" in our country). Sigh...

NZ does have some good news sites for games and gamers. But the Herald is just a terrible source of information. I would recommend gameplanet.co.nz as one source, another would be geekpulp.co.nz
But the Herald? No way

» I hope microsoft makes a handheld.
Dont all of you realize that the more handheld consoles, the closer the market comes to perfect competition and farther from becoming a monopoly... If each of the game console distributors has a handheld, the prices of the handhelds could possibly get driven down. It's simple economics. This is the same principle that lead to the price drop of the PS3. If microsoft and nintindo had no console, i guarantee that the PS3 would still be at $599 or more.
on a similar note, another handheld means more exclusive games available on handheld.. i like the sound of that

Jesus people, don't you know about the ultra low voltage celerons? They're basically the same CPU in the Xbox, except they are low power and low heat. And they're smaller. It is entirely possible to make a Xbox handheld.

who cares which console is doing better or not?
Its up to the consumer to pick what platform they want. Personally the Xbox is much much better for myself - its geared towards online gamers and also a PC background audience. That fits my criteria completely.
The Wii is more for families etc / casual gamers. It has absolutely no hardcore games on it atm but was never aimed at those consumers.
The PS3 is more of a merge between the two however is far too expensive atm and its game sales are doing poorly. With a price drop and some decent games it will come out of its shell.

ps3=bust

Resistance, Motor storm, Warhawk (you wanna pull out future games?) Killzone 2, Heavenly sword, Lair, Haze (4 a while), Mgs4... All your looking foward to is Halo...? LoL And games went multiplatform NOT exclusive to the 360. (so we still have GTA dumbas5)
And think the PS3 games are matching the 360s graphics wise, So imagine when devs learn to use the Cell.

Seriously, stop fighting each other. Your all gamers not f'n soldiers from different countries. Just play your games and enjoy them, stop getting into game politics. If its politics your into then hows about going to a political form and arguing over real topics like abortion and the death penalty. Stop siding with game manufactures, its a bloody shame when materialism is not only worshiped but idealized.

Fanboys quit fighting! All of the current consoles out there have good and bad things about them. The 360 has the best games out at the time, but they've also had an extra year to do do that. The PS3 looks incredible, and plays blu-ray (remember that blu-ray and hd-dvd are still competing). And the Wii is really fun and you actually work out while playing. But the 360 breaks all the time (both my original and 360 have broken before), the PS3 is still very expensive, and their must be something wrong with Wii's too (don't have one yet so I know almost nothing about them). Does anyone think Mac will get into the console gaming industry? An iGame might be pretty cool.

In terms of handhelds micro. would hagve a hard time beating the leading hanheld maker.Also esrb ratings don't affect the gameplay of the ame that's why nintendo making so much money.sony kicked everyone else's ass in the last war and that is why they have so much money right now it seems for this war this would be the standings(logical if you're not a biased jackass) :
1 Nintedo,cheap and good games
2. Microsoft they sold alot 360's
3.Sony *****ed up on the psp and the ps3(thank god they have reserved ps2 money)

» Dam Fanboys!!!!
Ok if you so loyal to sony why even comment on a xbox related subject, and we all know in the back of your fanboy minds you realize the 360 is selling better then the ps3, which is a fact according to store sales. My EB games sells out of Wii amd 360 consoles all the time but if you want a ps3 they have hundreds of them in the back. Which the store clerk always brings up when you buy a console.
I hope they bring out a xbox 360 handheald, chances are it will have graphics somewhere in between the xbox and 360. and hopefully it has a built in hard drive 8 gigs at least. If it costs 300 to 400 i would buy it. Better then the dam Iphone, 9 gigs and your paying more then you would for a 80 gig Video Ipod. Total bull, probably costs them 100 dollers or less to make.

Last time I went to best buy nintendo wii games were all $50+. Plus, playstation and xbox games have a tendency to lower in price sooner... for pete's sake SUPER MARIO STRIKERS AND SMASH BROTHERS ARE STILL LIKE $40 at best buy while God of War for ps2's dropped to 19.99.
And 'good'... I don't see much good besides anything nintendo's released themselves.

They're gaming consoles, so cool it. Well, it's time to elaborate on my opinion. First of all, I personally wanted the Wii because i heard The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the best games out there. After buying it, I can say that it's true. Sure, it's a slow beginning, but it gets so damn fun afterward. Also, there are other powerful games on it, so it doesn't disappoint at all. The PS3...I've only played it once before, so I can't say much. But I must say, it needs better games. By the time Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII come out, I guarantee it will own all. The XBox 360 isn't so bad, but the games could be a bit better. Although, Elder Scrolls is fantastic. Too bad it's on the PS3, too. I just can't wait for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars to come out on the Wii Virtual Console. That is one of the best games by Square to date, I guarantee it.
