handheld

Nintendo is looking into ways to improve the lacklustre sales of the Nintendo 3DS and believes a joystick peripheral may well be the key.

In something of a surprising move, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has issued a written apology to the first wave of Nintendo 3DS buyers, following the recent hardware price cut.

Sony's new PS Vita will reportedly be powered by a Samsung manufactured CPU, according to Japanese trade newspaper Semiconductor Industry News.

Social media is at heart of new console

Sony is rumoured to be stopping production of the PSPgo, according to a blog post written by a Japanese Sony employee.

A Cambridge University graphics and imaging expert has slammed tabloid reports that Nintendo's new 3DS is causing lots of users to suffer eye-strain, following its recent launch.

A Sony rep has confirmed that its company's handheld, the Sony NGP, won't be as powerful as the PS3 when it is launched.

UK retailers are reportedly buying Nintendo's forthcoming new 3DS console in at £173 per unit, which means that they are set to make at least a clear £50 profit per unit.

While Sony is still to officially confirm the announcement of the PSP2, it seems that some of its leading games publishing and development parties are happy to talk about the new handheld on record.
