NGP could outperform 3DS if price, innovation and games are right

Its gonna be hard as this time the DS has the more powerful brand name which can harm the prospects of PSP2.

Its really on what kind of word of mouth the 3D has for 3DS and the price of the PSP2.

first off i know i'm late, but welcome back darth.

gamecube anyone $99.99? (love that console)

but i do agree that the price has to be lower then $300.00, while some may say (hey whts 50 bucks?)

Sony needs big hits for both the hardcore crowd and the casual, and not recycled returns/matterial/games that exist on other platforms.

as for me its going to be harder for Sony to get me (as it will for the big 3 as a whole in the future/next gen)

20 games(up 5) that are not repeats of existing franchises, that innovate, and use the NGP to its fullest.

Yeah games are definitely important. It really needs that big killer app that can sell systems (DS had Nintendogs as a new IP killer app, then old massive hits like NSMB DS, Pokemon and so on). Basically PSP never did have one of those if we look at its software sales, the closest was the GTA games.

And now in the last two years PSP is just JRPG heaven (thats why I re-bought one after being initially disappointed).

Neither 3DS nor NGP have interested me that much so far, neither are on my to buy list, especially not with the way PS3 and PC (especially PC games line up is so awesome for this year) line up is shaping up this year.

i have to agree with everything you said and more, but theres one thing i left out?

all 20 have to be new IP'S as they will have and atlest 15 have to be published by Sony! i demand alot?

i bought a PS3 knowing Sony would do it for that system and at that time the big3 only needed 8 games (only one manufacture failed at reaching eight), and as we both know Sony well surpassed that!

i'm not as optomistic about NGP reaching this mark as i was about PS3, but they just may do it nad i'll be a handheld gamer and owner for the first time if Sony can do it.

not a fan of 3d so i won't be getting a 3ds.
