"NGP: the 10 questions nobody’s asking" from some blog

This is easy.

1) New tech, not quite PS3 power, way smaller screen than typical 1080p tv, OLED, bizz-buzz words.

2) Compatibility. Oh hahaha, you meant as a joke. ... 

3) In some cases yes some games will be multiple GB per game. If you _only_ buy from online, then yes you will be shelling out a bit extra dough to buy those 32GB flash cards to store a dozen games give or take. Could be upwards in the 20s depending on the game. Remember, this is for smaller screen, which mean graphics can be significantly scaled down compared to the standards of PS3 games. Sound as well can be compressed compared to the normal uncompressed sound found in some PS3 games. Which means many NPG games might end up using half or even less the space as their PS3 counterparts.

4) You _might_ see games costing $49, you might also see games staying the same $39. Either way, meh.

5) So? Seems like awesome sauce to me.

6) Ask Nintendo, they have like 3 cameras. One could hazard to guess though it might be for games that want to capture the gamers face. Or games that want to overlay stuff on top of surfaces the backface camera sees. Use your imagination. And correct, they aren't for photography, they are for gaming.

7) $300 to $350 or £249 to £300

8) It taught them that they can do better than _any_ other competitor to Nintendo has ever done before. If you want to talk about innovation, doing new things, the NGP has it. They are going a different route than 3DS. Yes, instead of completely copying Nintendo they are going down a slightly different path. No dual screens. No 3D. Instead they are experimenting that they might be able to maintain or even gain on the ~30% market share they've gotten this gen. Which is, again, a major success.

9) NGP will most likely not run android games. Rather they will run Playstation Suite games, which can also be run on android devices. The NGP is _not_ using android. It's already been debunked. PS1 games did not have analog sticks. PS2 game emulation would be the one with two analog sticks, which probably will not be able to run on android phones without the use of on screen controls. The NGP on the other hand will probably see PS2 games released on PSN.

10) NGP is a code name. Try harder.
