Good for them, because the way I see it, very few are going to make money on the NGP. I think it's going to be a colossal fucking failure for Sony and its developers.
The PSP didn't work in 2004. The NGP, which is basically an uber-PSP, is certainly not going to work in 2011. Some Japanese devs might be able to take advantage of increased Asian appeal for the device but I think it's going to tank hard in Europe and it's going to REALLY tank in the US/Canada. In an iPhone/iPad/Android world, there just isn't room for a $250 (and up) dedicated gaming handheld in Western markets unless it's made by Nintendo (and I think even the 3DS will struggle to come close to repeating the DS' success).
