Recently, as you all should know, a bigger DS and a bigger iPod Touch were released. What is the sudden thing with making hardware bigger? I thought it was suppose to get smaller, but then again, I'm not a marketing genuis.
With the release of these two machines, I remembered something: how much people complained about how big the original PSP was, and how big the Zune was. Do you remember that? I thought they were a fine size, and love my PSP-1000, but look at what we have now, and no one seems to be mentioning it much. Is there a double-standard in the hardware arena? Nintendo and Apple can get away with it because they're trendy but Sony and Microsoft can't because they're trying to sell something new?
So, Escapists, do you like your hardware Super-Sized?
