Game Palm machine stagnant mobile games to occupy a large number of market share

(compiled/wendy) market research company interpret Monday said the mobile game is encroaching on NDS and Sony PSP, such as handheld game market share, mobile phone as a game platform has been added to the competition with home hosts, the ranks of the players.　　"The rapid development of multi-functional smartphones is a big threat to the DS and PSP dominance of the handheld market," interpret research and Analysis Manager Courtney Johnson said in a press release, and the survey was conducted in the United States, with an audience of 9000 respondents. "Having a versatile entertainment device is more popular with consumers than a single feature," Johnson added.　　Interpret called the mobile game "rapid growth" and "Sony PSP and NDS sales stalled".　　Apple's ipod Touch, iphone and ipad games have grown fast, while games on Google's Android platform are growing fast, while Microsoft recently released Windows Phone 7, which focuses on mobile gaming. Interpret's data showed that 44% of all the people who played games using mobile phones, PSP, DS, played games with their mobile phones, which grew by 53% per cent, while the percentage of people who played DS or PSP in this group dropped 13%.　　Interpret also found that 27% of consumers said that although they had DS or PSP, they only played games on the phone.　　The earliest DS, which was listed in North America and Japan in 2004, sold 135 million units worldwide and the PSP was listed in Japan at the end of 2004 and listed in 2005 in other parts of the world, and so far it has sold 62 million units.　　Nintendo unveiled the DS's successor,--3DS, with more processing power and a top-level screen, which will be available early next year, and the PSP phone's rumors are on the move. Still this week, Michael Pachter, Wedbush's analyst, also spoke of a traditional palm-machine facing a hard battle with the Apple ipod Touch and the nano. "I think the ipod touch will sell well, and with the ipod touch getting stronger, there will be more free games," Pachter said.　　"Pachter predicts that PSP2 will die on the IPO, and that the handheld market could grow briefly in the early 3DS IPO, and he thinks the palm machine market is now in trouble." Reggie Fils-aime, Nintendo's US president, dismissed the view that Apple's online store's games, casual games, 3DS and its games could give players a longer and more perfect gaming experience, and he acknowledged that "in the near term, Apple's impact on our business will surpass that of Microsoft, no doubt." ”
