Japan game makers keep Nintendo focus

 

Japan's Big Three vidgame makers plan to launch more titles and ship more units for Nintendo's game systems, including its smash hit Wii console, than for the PlayStation 3 and other competing Sony products in fiscal 2007, according to a Nikkei newspaper survey.

 

Namco Bandai will up its Nintendo titles by 109% to 115; Sega by 96% to 49; and Capcom by 5% to 20. Meanwhile, the three majors intend to cut shipments of titles for Sony machines by 30%-40%.

 

Shipments of Nintendo titles will total 26.88 million units in fiscal 2007 vs. 23.29 million units of Sony game software. Capcom alone will boost its Nintendo shipments 81% to 4.7 million units.

 

Besides brisk worldwide demand for Wiis, which are outselling PS3s two to one in the U.S. and three to one in Japan, gamemakers are attracted to the Wii because of its lower development costs as compared with the far more sophisticated PS3. Square Enix, another Japanese software major, has no plans to develop titles for the PS3 until sales improve enough to make the steep development costs financially worthwhile.

 

In a related development, Nintendo's market value briefly surpassed Sony's on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Monday -- a company first and another indication of the reversal of fortune between the two game biz rivals. Nintendo's share price hit a record ¥46,350 ($376.80), boosting its market value to $53.4 billion, ahead of Sony's, even though Nintendo is a game specialist while Sony is a global electronics and entertainment powerhouse with a far more diverse product range.

The Wii in 1080p

 

 

Sony and Nintendo team up to bring you 1080p on the Wii. Through the amazing upscaling power of the STR-DA5200ES and the beauty of the Bravia 1080p XBRs, you too can enjoy 1080p on the Nintendo Wii.

Ποιος θα περίμενε 1080p στο Wii?

 

Συμβαίνουν και αυτά!

[tarrasque]

upscaling κάνει ρε παιδιά, ρίχνεις και το vhs με ταινία Σ. Ψάλτη και στο βγάζει σε 1080p (τουλάχιστον εγώ αυτό κατάλαβα)

4D και στo Wii?

Είναι ωραίο το αποτέλεσμα, αν και οι φώτο είναι μικρές.

 

Αν και δεν ξέρω από αυτά όμως, έχω την εντύπωση ότι το upscaling δημιουργεί κάποιο lag, το οποίο εξαρτάται από το μηχάνημα για το πόσο αμελητέο ή σοβαρό είναι....

 

Κάτι άλλο. Με το upscaling, τα jaggies δεν θα έπρεπε και πάλι να φαίνονται? Γιατί στην εικόνα μοιάζει σαν να μπήκε κάποιο φίλτρο. Κάτι σαν ΑΑ ίσως?

Nintendo's Market Cap Hasn't Surpassed Sony's - Yet

Members of the financial press have been tripping over themselves to see who would be the first to chronicle that Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) has surpassed Sony (SNE) in market capitalization to become the 10th largest company in Japan. This imaginary horse race has captured the attention of numerous observers and been blown out of proportion.

ναι, ακομα εχουν μια διαφορα της ταξης 5% (υπερ της sony), αλλα η προβλεψη μου ειναι οτι αυτο θα αλλαξει μεσα στην επομενη οικονομικη περιοδο.

ή, για να το πω καλυτερα, προβλεπω οτι οι πιθανοτητες να περασει η nintendo ειναι σαφως καλυτερες απο το να κρατησει η sony.

πολυ διαφορετικοι προσανατολισμοι σαν εταιρειες, πολυ πιο straightforward στην παρουσα περιοδο για την nintendo.
