Panasonic Cancel Jungle Handheld Gaming Device

The world of portable gaming devices have been particularly active in recent times. Nintendo launches 3DS many countries, Sony has given us the first details of the PSP 2, and there's a new Pokemon game out a couple of days.

With all this you would be forgiven for forgetting, a new handheld device, developed by Panasonic called the Jungle. It was announced in October last year and should focus exclusively on allowing players to play MMO and other online games out of their PCs. He was actually going to a Pocket PC gives you access to popular games like World of Warcraft on the go.

I was skeptical at the time, and now it looks like Panasonic has made the jungle is not viable. The Japanese firm has decided its new strategy that focuses on technology and environmental health means gaming equipment was not worth pursuing further.

Playing with the music business of supersaturation has been declining for some time: when Activision has sold 1.5 million copies of the third Guitar Hero game series in the first month, the last game of the series are sold only 86,000 copies of the same month .

Guitar Hero is not only the title of a music game business problems: a few months ago, Viacom has also closed the MTV Games division to publish and sell Rock Band maker Harmonix.

It 's strange apathy when game was plenty of death Guitar Hero franchise, some people would have to show that the real cause of music are in decline because of the expense of incredible titles licensed songs.

Nevertheless, it seems that the old guard of the game music is dead and now we must look new. It's the end of an era.
