>implying any non-nintendo handheld could ever outdo a nintendo handheld in terms of sales
ahuehuehuehuehe
Every single game announced, aside from Call of Duty, is a port or remake, and it'll probably be download-only. If the graphics truly rival those of the PS3, just imagine the price and battery life. I can't say I'm not disappointed, honestly, although I didn't really expect to be blown away in the first place. befuddlement
lol
If the price of this even MATCHES nintendo's $250 it's game fucking over.
If it's cross compatible online with PS3 players the final dagger has been in place.
NGP demolishes any online infrastructure the 3DS has.
This literally makes the 3DS look like a kids toy. Oh man gimmicky 3D with it's 3 hour battery life and rehashed games I played 8 years ago, so excited.
You're pathetic Kono. You have no idea how the market works.
It's not going to kill Nintendo nor is the 3DS going to kill Sony.
I hope Sony offers a version sans 3G, touch screen, touch pad, GPS and motion sensors. I do not need nor want any of that. The hardware itself is also not the most appealing thing in the world [nor is the 3DS for that matter]. The screen is nice but a high quality LCD would have sufficed, and the CPU and GPU are good. And one last annoyance is that GUI looks very nasty, especially that Andoid-like notification bar.
I hope Sony touches up the design a bit, works on the GUI, makes a lower-speced version and if it's going to have a non-user replaceable battery [which seems likely] it's a high capacity lithium-polymer battery. And the very best pieces of information to come out are the fact that it seems [emphasis on seems] to be easy [or at least port, shudder] games to it and that it has flash memory based games instead of an updated UMD system/Mini Blu-Ray.
In short, both systems are far from being perfect and neither are worth buying at launch so far to me. giggle;

I really doubt it's going to be anything under 250 and would guess it's going to be at least 300 initially.
Also that would be a dream come true, but it's not going to happen n_u

Yes.
And it may finally implement PSN well on a handheld, but I doubt any game will ever be cross compatible between the two. And it seems like a lot of things with the NGP [I hope they give a final name soon~] are not even close to being finalised. n_u
I had a theory that the 3G access will only be available via some sort of subscription, probably tied to PSN Plus.
I was slightly disappointed that they dropped XMB for PSP2. It's kind of neat.
The NGP trailer shows trophies so finally trophy support on the PSP, yes.
it's purty
also, y'all mad
shit sucks
also stfu kono
I like it and probably will pick one up if the price is right. That and the game selection/battery life.
what sucks about it kefka?

While not saying it will, if they price it competitively, have a good line up for launch, and it has a good battery life it has a very god chance of taking some 3DS sales. We will just have to see how that works out for Sony.
now we guess the price
$499 giggle;

well yeah, but it's still ridiculous to say that it's a "stab into Ninty's throat" or that "it's game fucking over" for Nintendo
the fact that the 3DS is a Nintendo handheld alone holds a lot of weight with the fans and with parents, not to mention with silly older people who think that 3D makes something better, so even if the PSP2 turned out to be amazing, the 3DS would still sell at least well, if not great
Personally at the moment I'm not particularly looking forward to either handheld. Yet. I'm sure games will come around to persuade me into getting one.
lmao kono is such a fucking faggot
also this piece of shit seems even more gimmicky than the 3ds dear christ

I want one too
But the touch pad in the back and the 2nd analog stick is too close to the face buttons myface;
they could've done more work on the design
also the game media is going to be on Cards like the ds wtf
also if they actually do have a Slide design of the PSP2 ill probably buy that one, since the PSPgo was so nice looking yes;
It has been confirmed to be less than 599, so I guess that is a start n_u
and is supposed to be affordable.
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/27/sony-wants-ngp-hardware-to-be-profitable-and-affordable/
$399-$499

Oh hm, I guess it could be coming out sooner than I expected since Naughty Dog won't be developing it. But that's always bothered me about the PSP version of Sony's game series, none of them are developed by their original developer.
And I have a feeling we'll see at least two SKUs of the NGP. I just hope Sony isn't constantly messing with them confusing consumers.
Well it is being developed by the people who did resistance retribution so that may be a good sign.
i still can't get my head wrapped around the idea of calling this thing the NGP

You guys do know it's the codename right? Like the Revolution.
And it stands for Next Generation Portable, so it's obviously not going to be the final name.

it likely won't be called the psp2 though if they bothered to make a codename
it'll probably be like psp ultra or something gay like that
psp omega kawaii
They'll probably go with something bland like PSP HD.

I really like that they chose to use cards and not discs or download only like the previous PSPs. So much more practical.
Like the last PSP, I think I'll wait until the price drops a lot, and for hackers to develop a good way to play games for free on it.
its download too. :'(
So uh, its okay I guess.
But I still don't really give a shit about it. I'm assuming its probably going to have like a 300-400 dollar MSRP which wont help.

since when was 5" a tiny screen?
I'm considering getting one over a 3DS. I don't really know though, it really depends on the games, and I'll have to physically try them both out first.

If it's smaller than my monitor then it's too small. >:( But I love games like Pokemon and Classic Mario on handhelds. It's just 3D handheld games that bug me.

Yeah, I didn't mean 3DS 3D, I meant 360-camera 3D. Should've clarified.

That, and he doesn't realize because of the lackluster sales of the original PSP developers are overly cautious about selling games for the platform. goowan

http://3ds.nintendolife.com/news/2011/01/iwata_3ds_and_ngp_will_appeal_to_different_target_audiences
QuoteNintendo isn't the only company with new portable hardware coming out soon as Sony has recently announced details of its follow-up to the PSP range of models in the form of the Next Generation Portable (NGP). Speaking to Bloomberg, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata spoke about the upcoming Sony handheld device and where it leaves the company and the potential customers.
When asked what he thought about Sony and the NGP, Iwata replied:
They're trying to appeal to customers from a different direction than us. The customers will decide which is correct.
So it seems Iwata-san feels that the NGP and 3DS are different types of products that will appeal to different demographics. That's what he wants to project, anyways. By putting the onus on consumers to decide which of the two to get, he seems to suggest that customers will opt for one or the other depending on what they are after from a portable device, although there's no reason why gamers won't buy both. Nintendo's often portrayed itself as a company that's not in the slightest bit interested in the business of its console rivals, and when asked how the company will combat the inevitable rivalry between the two portable systems, Iwata said:
Nintendo is not the kind of company that thinks about how we oppose other company's product...

Both the NGP and 3DS will need good software to backup their unimpressive hardware, though. goowan
Nintendo (and some exceptional 3rd party companies) won't have a problem giving great games to players with a 3DS. Sony needs to get on the ball with games.
