one said:It'd be interesting for you to ask yourself back in 2000 why you'd need 1.8GB disc for a portable with a 4.5" screen... Basically, mainstream disc media will retain the 12cm size for the next decades, so a smaller disc size has its own markets elsewhere, and one of them is gaming.PC-Engine said:Why would you need Blu-ray or HVD for a portable with a 4.5" screen?
Sure, but there was room to grow from 3" screens to 4.5" screens. Do you honestly believe we'll see a portable gaming system with 10" screens in the future?
I guess to go along with those 10" screens we'll see games with FFTSW visuals that take 2 years to develop and sell for $80. It makes perfect sense considering we'll have 20GB mini HVDs for portable gaming and all.
On a side note, it would seriously make sense if you could pop those mini HVDs into a home console directly or through a GB player type device. That would certainly justify the high capacity and high price of a portable game title.
