Despite the dominance of Apple in the handheld segment, according to the co-founder of Relentless Software, developers of Buzz, there are considerable market opportunities for a new portable device Sony turned hardcore users. "In my opinion there is no market for a handheld dedeicato the hardcore segment," said Andrew Eades to GamesIndustry.biz. "IPhone, iPad and Android are targeted at the mass market, while Sony PSP2 may decide to take a more limited cetegoria users. Specifications and input of the next-generation handheld will be comparable to those of handheld consoles in circulation only in part" , he said Eades. "The important thing is to define the target.
If you create a handheld for the mass market, you have to bring feature dedicated to that user, if it opts for the hardcore players, users will love this device because of its power." The handheld market poses a problem for Sony, but iPhone and iPad will not last forever, prophesy Eades: "You can not dominate an industry forever.
The day will come when the iPhone will not be considered a desirable device. We think we have to develop the best games possible on any platform. " Eades did not confirm or deny the existence of PSP2, but did suggest the interest of Relentless towards the new Sony handheld, which is rumored for some time.
