IT product: Nintendo 3Ds - Prediction

Well, the Nintendo had just announce that they will be releasing the Nintendo 3D!
This will be the new hand held game system that will be making use of stereoscopic technology and give the gamer the 3D experience without the use of any external devices like those 3D glasses.

Catch the latest news on Google! Just type Nintendo 3DS' Specs and do a search. A lot of web page have a lot cover on the specs and shown photo of it on their web page so I won’t go into detail regarding those aspects.

Since the game system has not being release, I cannot really do a review on it, but as a gamer for at least 10 years, I can do a prediction! I can tell you that no 3D devices have being very successful, example: the Virtual Boy

Games
The problem with 3D gaming system is that it is very hard to make use of the 3D property into any gaming. Imagine that you are a game developer, how can you make use of the 3D property of the new Nintendo 3Ds and produce a game that no other game system is able to do? Seriously I can only think of rotating 3D puzzle game… maybe I lack creativity, lets see how game developer over come this. Remember, most game is clones of other games, and it is quite expensive to produce games that are untested.

The 3D aspect of the system will be hard to utilize in the game itself and will most likely be use as a graphic enchant only, but I doubt this will be the helpful as the Nintendo 3Ds will most likely would not have enough CPU power to run a fully 3D games that have graphic that can match our PC or even PSP.

I would also like to comment that since Nintendo 3D will require that the game company to product game in 3D, this will most likely create complex coding and increase the man hour(aka cost).

I can foresee that the game company will products game that is in 2D but with a slight 3D graphics…


Devices
Well, most 3D first person shooter tend to make me feel like vomiting and most 3D video clip tend to give people head ache, lets see how Nintendo 3D bypass this 2 issues.

Conclusion
With the limited information release so far, I can only say that Nintendo 3D will be another over hype game system like game cube and most likely be an epic fail when it releases. I seriously hope Nintendo 3D will prove me wrong as I don't mind playing real 3D games while traveling around.

I give this a 1/5 rating.

Today's Forex Focus, 30 Jan 2024

 Ah, nephew, let's dive into the Forex market today, shall we? It's like peering into a crystal ball, but with a bit more logic and a lot less mysticism. First up, we've got the EUR/USD pair showing a bit of a bearish tilt. The dollar's holding steady like a rock in a stream, buoyed by investors who've got their eyes glued to the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting. There's a bit of a buzz about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, making investors a bit jittery and giving the dollar a bit of a boost​​. Then, there's talk about the Federal Reserve potentially pushing back against the idea of a rate cut anytime soon. This is like a plot twist in a thriller movie for the traders, who are now less convinced about a rate drop in March. The dollar, meanwhile, is flexing its muscles a bit, up by 0.19% against a basket of currencies. Across the pond, the Euro's taken a bit of a tumble, and there's chatter about when the European Central Bank might ...

My thought on USD/Gold fundamental analysis 09 April 2015

USD - ↔  Gold -↓ Current USA data is pointing to a robust recovery, with a stable employment rate and a stable growth. Yes the data from march was a major disappointment(weather?) but overall data so far is looking good, not great, but good. So what does good data means? USA is still out growing most developing countries and Euro even with just a "Good". Together with Oil price swinging ever lower, and with Iran joining in with the global oil market which will push oil price even lower. the inflation rate will set to be ever lower. Good Usa growth plus low inflation combine with non stop influx of credit, point to a market that investors dare to seek higher return with higher risk investment which is not good for Gold. So going long to mid term(end of 2015?), the Gold price would be projected to go down. I am aiming for at least a USD1100 per ounce range. Please be advise that forex is a high risk investment, there will be a very high chance of lost o...

Is Currency Carry Trade worth investing?

  What is Currency Carry Trade? "A strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. A trader using this strategy attempts to capture the difference between the rates, which can often be substantial, depending on the amount of leverage used. " quoted from http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/currencycarrytrade.asp Value?  The value of this investment depend on the currency being used. Since most high interest currency belong to third world countries, their currency tend to be very unstable. For example Argentina which have an interest rate of 8.18%(at the time of this post) but due to it the 2014 Aug Default, no sane investor would consider getting this bond. If the trader get the safer developed countries currency, the interest rate tend to be lower. So in order to get the same return as third world countries, the trader would need to leve...
