View Full Version : Xbox 360 & Nintendo DS + Sony PSP Rumor!
Last week, rumors began to surface that the Xbox 360 would allow gamers to download Micrsoft-developed games onto Nintendo's DS handheld. Given that Nintendo's handhelds are its main source of revenue, Microsoft creating new content for the DS would be giving ammunition to its archrival in the current- and next-generation console wars. Such a move struck many industry-watchers as being highly unlikely, if not outright lunacy.

Well, we already know MS plans to develop for the DS, so this would just be an even more creative delivery method. I'm intrigued...

Really no shock here. Especially since Rare has confirmed to be working on titles for the DS. For those who have been living under a rock, Rare is owned by Microsoft.
I'm intrigued...
Yeah, It should be interesting how this works out and what kind of damage this could do to Sony. Who knows, Maybe this could be the start of a Microsoft/Nintendo team (I would hate to say merger).
As for the connectivity issue, meh.

Haha...Ya know, I still don't know why alot of people think that it could never happen though it's hard to imagine. Nintendo isn't exactly the almighty company they once was and I wouldn't be shocked at all if it DID happen. Some people just have a little hope that Nintendo can pull out of the whole they dug for themselves.

Well I for one didn't really see it coming, so I'm still a bit skeptical. I mean, sure it could work, and I'm sure the DS could use a little boost regardless of where it came from. As always, I'll just wait this one out.

Didn't they say in that press conference the 360 would even connect with competitors, and it showed a PSP as one of them?
After that was mentioned, there was quite an awkward pause following.
