In a reader poll in the latest issue of game mag Famitsu, 76.2 percent of Japanese gamers stated that they wanted the NGP. Only 7.9 percent stated they did not want it, while 15.9 percent were undecided.

Design-wise, 22.6 percent said they really dug the NGP's looks, while 50.5 percent said they liked it. Twenty-three percent said they didn't really like it, and 3.9 percent said they didn't like it at all.

When asked about pricing, only 1.5 percent thought it will cost less than ¥ 15,000 (US$182), 3.6 percent thought it will cost less than ¥20,000 ($242), 17 percent thought it will cost less than ¥25,000 ($303) and 42.5 percent thought it will cost less than ¥30,000 or $363.

For colors that Famitsu readers want, white was the most popular, followed by blue, red, silver and green. But what games did they list when asked what they wanted to play on the NGP?

Monster Hunter, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Tales series and Kingdom Hearts. Sony's handheld might have changed, but Japan's gaming habits haven't.


They seem to be almost as excited by NGP as I'm (as you can see from the number of threads I create about it) but some of them are pretty delusional when it comes to pricing. Also it's kinda funny they want to use all that graphic power and new features to play same games as on psp ;)
