I tried using one, the Gears 2 CE, and hated it. Returned it after a weekend. I think Apple though flawed (at times) is just so far ahead, MS should give up on the Zune. They have tried twice and failed badly both times. Anybpdy seen NFS or Brothers in Arms on the iPhone/iPod Touch. Holy SHIT, PSP quality indeed. Zune = Epic Fail.

Something like the 'winPhone' would be better. :-D Yes, not calling it ‘Zune’ would be a good start. Something like the ‘winPhone’ would be better. :-D

I think some sort of Zune extension is a possibility, probably accompanied by a rebranding. I thought that too – but have you ever used a Windows Mobile Phone?

Music/XNA/phone sort of thing. It’d probably make more sense for Microsoft to reinvent the Zune as a (potential) iPhone killer. Music/XNA/phone sort of thing.

The same way the PSP is still quite a big success regardless of how well the DS also does. If as a product they can make a decent amount of money and support there other console line then why not? Besides if they had thought that way we would never have seen the Xbox/360 in the first place would we? What would have been the point they would never catch up with the PS/Nintendo etc?

@DrDamn,

Nintendo has an assload more of DS’s, but i think that devs embrace the DS more, that is why it is doing wayyyy better. it truse that the games on PSP are where the problems are at. they have to start craking if they wanna catch up software-wise.

Games are maybe somewhat of a problem but at least but it's by no means a failure as a device. Sony have sold a hell of a lot of PSP’s.

They saw what happened to Sony's attempt, why even bother trying when it's obvious that Nintendo crushes all? I don’t think they will.

More like ‘XBox 720 port of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, planned for 2014.‘, I’d imagine.

Though ACiD is just around the corner, so there’s that. I’m actually looking forward to that too.

So the idea that they tease games only due in the next 6 months isn't true. All it means, I think is that they have less plans for 2009 than 2010, and so they need to tease stuff due that year as opposed to next.
