Packed with Qualcomm's cell phone technology, start-up Zeebo's first video game console for "the next billion" will be launched next month. Priced at $199, the console will specifically target the "emerging" BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India and China - markets.

Given the fact that Zeebo's console is developing world-specific, it is not intended to offer any direct competition whatsoever to the "big three" namely - Sony's PS 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360, or Nintendo's Wii.

Video-game publishers are pressurizing Sony Corp to take its pick out of two alternatives - one, lower the price of its PlayStation 3 console; and two, face the possibility increased development funds going Nintendo Wii's way! At its starting price of $399.99, the PS3 is $150 more than Wii and $200 more than the most-economical Xbox 360.

According to analyst Mike Hickey, of Janco Partners Inc. in Greenwood Village, Colorado, even though Sony has thus far stood unyielding against calls for lower price, there is likelihood that it might trim the price of PS3 by $50-$100 in the near future.

On 3rd April, UK would see Nintendo launching its new DSi, two days before its release in the US - at a retail price of 149 GBP.

Vishal Gondal, CEO, Indiagames, said, "Movie companies have started looking at mobile gaming very seriously as an opportunity. This year has been great for us as we have started with 'Ghajani', followed by 'Chandni Chowk to China', and now we are doing 'Dev D'."

It has been proved by a novel study that a Nintendo that carries a price tag of £100 is no better than a 10 paise pencil at stimulating the memory. After the latest study, the claim by Nintendo that the DS Lite boosts the brain has been disapproved.
