Sony Says PSP Battery Life is Shorter than Quoted 76

SetupWeasel writes "Gamesindustry.biz is reporting that "Sony Computer Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi has admitted that graphically intensive games will drain the PSP's battery more rapidly than the quoted figures." Sony also said that this would be corrected in future revisions of the hardware, but we know how well that plan worked for Nokia."

    I'm not really sure why I'm replying- your message didn't make too much sense to begin with. But if I understand the gist of it, you are saying that Microsoft treats their developers poorly. And because they treat them so badly, they ended up having to buy Bungie from Apple to get some decent developers/games.

    Of course we all know that Apple didn't own Bungie. They may have thought they pwned them, but that is a different story.

    If you read the History of Bungie [bungie.net] as told by Bungie (which is a pretty interesting read). You'll see a great quote from them: The PC market was really cutthroat, but the Mac market was all friendly and lame. .

    It's not like Bungie really wanted to stay in the backwater game developer community around the Mac. They started there almost by accident, and they found that being a medium-sized fish in a really small pond was not such a bad place to be.

    Aren't Mac 'enthusiasts' tired of living back in 1994 when Marathon came out? A lot has happened in 10 years...

    Really now? I didn't even know there was a company called Square Enix which developed for Nintendo before the Gamecube..

    Get your facts straight. Nintendo and Squaresoft used to get along just fine during the NES and SNES days. (FF1-6, plus a couple more on the Gameboy) Nintendo and Enix also got along fine (Dragon Warrior/Quest 1-6, plus a couple side games on the Gameboy). The only reason Squaresoft didn't make FF7 on the N64 was because of the limitations of the old cartrages. Course in hindsight, they paid for it in inferior hardware.
