Sony has had unprecedented freedom to capitalize (or fail to capitalize) on the mobile video device market ever since the PSP's March launch, but by many accounts they've blown their first-mover advantage through confusing software and proprietary disk and memory formats. Apple may be poised to take advantage of unsated demand for sleek but easy-to-use mobile video devices with the launch next week of an iPod that will play video, according to Engadget.
From the perspective of a large segment of Joystiq readers, this could be a good thing. It may result in some much-needed augmentation of the anemic PSP games lineup.
In the words of Joystiq reader Todd, "It seems like most people want GAMES. Are you listening Sony???? Games for the game machine…what a cutting-edge concept!!!"
Well punctuated, Todd.
