Won't the NGP cost too much?

True- the dev costs of the NGP is to expensive for smaller publishers and developers. The 3DS is a portable GameCube essentially with 3D. This is attractive to developers who can't afford to develop on NGP. Now Sony fans can argue all they want that NGP is cheap to develop for but nobody can argue it will be cheaper or as cheap as 3DS.

It's speculation at this point of time. In the end it might be that building new game from the ground for 3DS will be cheaper than for NGP but making multiplatform PS3/NGP title will be lot more profitable and I could see a lot of japanise devs going that way for jRPG.

It's not even speculation. When this thing was announced, all we've been hearing is that it's very easy to develop for. Comments like Uncharted's engine being ported in like 3 weeks sounds like speculation of difficult development? If developers want to break their backs creating top level PS3 resources for a portable device, they have no one to blame but them selves but the option to do something decent on the NGP that wont cost you an arm and a leg is clearly there.
