Marketing Post #4: Out with the OLD and in with the NEW

So lately there’s been a great deal of hype about the new Nintendo 3DS and how it encompasses new cool, super awesome features that makes all the legs of gamers turn into Jell-O. The 3DS will have new functions that include:
  • allowing gamers to play in 3D without the need of special glasses
  • 3D pictures can be taken with built-in 3D cameras
  • Compatibility with Nintendo DS and DSi games

Yet I came across an ad my brother showed me about Sony’s PSP and how they are preparing to launch a new version sooner than soon! It has also been announced that this neat little gadget will include the following features:

  • come in a brick form factor and will feature a 5-inch OLED display with four times the resolution of current-generation PSPs
  • touch pads on both the front and the rear and dual micro analog joysticks
  • Both front- and rear-facing cameras and will use a Flash-based memory card
  • also offer 3G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity, (according to GameSpot)
  • PlayStation 3-quality graphics

So comparing these two choices the Sony PSP seems to have more to offer and the sleek design really captures my attention because when the PSP Go was launched, I thought that the design was truly hideous and I had been swayed over to the Nintendo side. But with this sleek, bold design and flashy functions, I would have to say Sony might just have outdone themselves this time.
