Dual screens to hurt DS profits
The dual screens that feature so prominently on Nintendo's recently announced DS handheld are expected to hurt its initial profits.
According to a recent Reuters report, Nintendo stated last week that the limited supply of LCD screens available for the Nintendo DS is expected to hurt the profits of the recently announced handheld--at least during its initial sales period. The most unique feature of the Nintendo DS is that it features dual LCD screens to deliver a somewhat unique gameplay experience. However, even Nintendo's main LCD supplier, Sharp, has conceded that meeting the demand for the system's launch might pose a problem. "Ordinarily, if we said to a supplier that we plan to make a product with two screens, they would be happy. But this time they said, 'Two screens. That's a bit of a challenge,'" commented Iwata during last week's Electronic Entertainment Expo. "Of course, we have no intention of taking a huge loss in the beginning, but I'm not sure if we can efficiently boost profit from the start like we did with the Game Boy Advance. But this is something, I think, we can repair with time." Source: Gamespot |

im buying one as soon as it comes out...its gonna be so awesome! i cant wait to play the new metroid and all that stuff...
but the coolest thing i think...is gonna be getting a flash linker for it....imagine, with the DS's power, we will be able to have full speed + sound SNES emulators on 128MB flash cartriges! we could play any SNES game we want on it, along with the entire library of game boy games! |
