Apple to bite into gaming market?

Apple to bite into gaming market? 04/08/2005 12:00 PM
Neilsen Entertainment on Thursday revealed results of a study concluding that men spend more money on video games than on music. According to Neilsen spending on games has become the second ranked purchased category for males behind DVDs and in front of CDs, MP3 and music purchases. As we can see in the figures from Nintendo and Sony for the first few days of sales of the companies new handheld systems, game and console sales are going well. Sony managed to snag 500,000 customers of its PlayStation Portable (PSP) within the first two days of its North American release, generating over $150 million at retailers. The company boasted that what makes the $150 million mark "all the more spectacular," is that "PSP sales were achieved during a traditionally slower non-holiday season launch, and during a period when many retailers were closed for Easter." The launch of PSP was everything the company had hoped for, according to Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Kaz Hirai. "In only two weeks, PSP is having an immediate impact across the entire industry as consumers are clearly voting it the product of the year in 2005." Nintendo sold nearly 87,000 units of the Nintendo DS in the first two days alone in the UK. Several retailers in the UK opened at midnight so DS fans could be the first to purchase the device. As of launch time in the UK of the DS, Nintendo sold more than 3 million units worldwide. At the end of March, the company announced that sales in the UK surpassed 500,000 since the March 11 release. "The launch of Nintendo DS in the UK has been an unprecedented success; breaking all expected sales figures and even exceeding our expectations. Nintendo fans, new and old, have embraced the Nintendo DS and have left no doubt that it is the new must have handheld console," Nintendo UK General Manager David Yarnton said. "Nintendo set out to create a new way of hand-held gaming, offering an innovative and enjoyable experience and with the new Nintendo DS, and we have certainly accomplished this." The success of the Nintendo DS has even helped Nintendo prepare for the launch of its upcoming Nintendo World Store set to open in New York City this spring. The store will allow visitors to try out new and unreleased games for Nintendo DS, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance SP at sampling bars and interactive stations. The two-story mega-complex will also be the new home of Pokémon Center and will host a myriad of Nintendo merchandise, accessories, DVDs and Pokémon trading cards. With the gaming market so strong and continually growing, why doesn't Apple break into the burgeoning $35 billion annual global video game market? Well, maybe it plans to. According to an anonymous report, MacRumors.com was told that Apple and ATI have been discussing either creating or purchasing a game development unit. Creating a games division could help attract more PC users to switch to the Macintosh platform. The website also noted that Apple appears serious about improving gaming performance on the Mac as recent reports have noted that Apple, ATI and NVidia are actively recruiting developers to improve OpenGL performance. Since game sales are above and beyond sales of CDs, digital music, and other music purchases, perhaps Apple would be wise to break into the increasingly popular (not to mention, incredibly profitable) gaming market... just in case it doesn't reach the forcasted 23.5 million iPod sales mark in 2006, or continue to have one million downloaded songs per day from the iTunes Music Store.

Wolves Bite Each Other in the Ass

Wolves Bite Each Other in the Ass 04/17/2005 10:47 AM

Linus of Linux fame knifes Tridgell of Samba fame and Peren s the wolfherder tells Linus to stop talking nonsense and cool it.

A summary of what happened:

Tridgell saw a problem, hypocritical use of non-open source version control software BitKeeper to develop Linux, and moved to fix it by reverse engineering BitKeeper's proprietary protocol.

This upset McVoy, the keeper of BitKeeper and Linus's childhood friend.  Sharp exchanges between McVoy and Tridgell caused enough uproar for Linus to pull back on BitKeeper and then punch back at Tridgell for causing trouble where there was none from Linus' point of view.

Meanwhile, Perens who thinks inconsistency is a crime and everyone should sacrifice themselves for the wolfpack kicks Linus' ass.

I could use some buttered popcorn.
