Can you see gamepark as a big competitor in the future? Taking on Nintendo, Microsoft & Sony in handheld or console wars? or will they become a mere legend like Sega, Magnavox, Intelvision , Atari & so forth...

No, they don't. They recently said they don't intend to directly compete with Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft. They don't even believe the GP Kids has any console on the market in the same bracket, so it CAN'T compete with anything. It's made for casual gamers who just want simple cheap things to play and occupy time, basically-- and maybe play some music, etc. while the XGP/XGPmini series are undergoing a redesign to be systems made for hardcore gamers and developers.Cervante posted on Sep 26 2006 at 01:36 PM said:
Other rumors they debunked:
- All the GP32 engineers but one did NOT go to GPH. Only one GP32 engineer went to GPH.
- They are NOT interested in making the XGP series closed-source for commercial games only-- they are releasing an SDK and encouraging homebrew development and emulation in addition to commercial games they are licensing and having developed.

If anything just click the link to laugh at steve balmer and ignore the rest
Most of the people that have responded really don't want to see gamepark get big because they have been here for a good while now. Everytime Gamepark gets any sort of internet media coverage we get new users. This brings both good and bad to the table.
The good:
More developers Everyone loves more developers..even developers. Just immagine steve balmer going crazy
More money for gamepark (or gph, reguardless of who became big) to in turn give us better support and, in the end, give us a better product. In addition the coders may also get more donations for thier work.
More feedback and a better chance of finding a niche audience for any given development.
More beer
The bad
Answering the same questions 10000 more times (ugh)
begging for anything and everything that ever existed on a screen perfectly presented on their handheld
legal bullshit who knows what would even happen if an open source handheld actually became popular without much of a commercial gaming scene..American legislators would go crazy.
and alot more..
It's up to you how you see our handheld community. I like it smaller with more devoted members that keep us closer knit. The problems we have been facing latley usually stem out of people that have been here for a long time and newer members that do not look very far before making 20 topics, with one for each of their questions. I don't know if there is a way to solve it but I really wouldn't like to see GP or GPH ever get 'big'. I guess time will tell but I really really really doubt anything big is going to happen..
This might have been convoluted and I probably forgot a few things but thats life.

I'd like to see them accomplish anything against a little Korean company like Gamepark. But those matters aside, it's a moot point since it just won't happen. GP doesn't have the resources or software support to compete with the mainstream systems. They have said themselves-- they designed GPKiDS, XGP and XGP Mini each to fill a NICHE MARKET which they are well aware of-- they even visit forums including this one for input all the time on how to design their systems and adjust their marketing strategy.greenmikey posted on Sep 26 2006 at 04:01 PM said:
They did some great things back in the 80s and 90s, but that's over and done with now. Sega is just part of a Pachinko company now, and the only real good they do is publish the occasional decent game and rehash of games from their time in the sun. Collection after collection after collection. Sonic Team has become like a slow-motion train wreck that won't end since about 2002. They don't produce any hardware, either. There's really not much more of Sega than a memory.BobBorakovitz said:
The internal hardware was relatively simple since it was built on a System-on-a-Chip like the GP2X. But it would take other persons to work on aspects like hardware design for the case mold, button layouts, arrangement of parts and so forth, another (at LEAST) for the embedded OS work, so forth. One person designing the whole system would probably not go so hot.
