Is there space for another handheld?

It's the Loose Threads weekend reminder

Is there space for another handheld?
|

As the age old axiom goes, the more the merrier, and while a healthy amount of competition stimulates the marketplace, too much can fragment it.

But it seems that the pocket gaming market may be able to sustain a good deal more than we once thought. The iPhone has been phenomenally popular as a games device so far, but it seems it hasn't had a significant impact on sales of Sony and Nintendo's hardware.

So this week's hot topic is:

Is there enough room for another serious contender in the handheld space? What would a new console have to include to have a chance of gaining a foothold?

It's your world people. Remember, if you haven't signed up to become a member of our thriving forum community, there's absolutely nothing to stop you starting right here. We're a friendly bunch and if handheld gaming discussion is your thing, there's no better place.

That's it for this reminder - have a good weekend.
