They could have owned the handheld console market if they had just repeated what Sega and Sony did.
Basically: When the next gen comes out, use the latest tech to miniaturize and make portable the previous gen.
Gamegear for the most part was a Sega Master System. The PSP for the most part was a Playstation 1. Both were released during a time where there was too many limitations to really fully utilize that prior catalog (see: GameGear SMS converter, which was HUGE, limited memory for downloading games onto PSP, no legal path for importing your PS1 library into the PSP from physical disks).
Imagine the market share Microsoft would have if they made an Xbox One or before that Xbox 360 portable, which could play your existing library using cloud saves.
- WhereIsTheTruth 4y agoI totally agree with you! This for example should have been a microsoft product: https://gpd.hk/gpdwin4 https://gpd.hk/gpdwin4 Do like what Apple did for the 1st iPhone, cheap entry price with a 2 year Game Pass contract (or do like Valve and the steam deck, sell it at a loss, gamepass is the long term goal anyways), and eat the entire market share.. Windows, that's literally the biggest advantage they have over both Sony and Nintendo, yet they don't use it.. .. a giant library that spans decades Software must follow to ensure proper UX, it's not there yet.. so they have double the amount of work to do..
