the reason the wii succeeded and the ps3 failed is exactly the opposite of what is happening now with the 3ds and ngp. Wii was able to hit the jackpot and get the casual crowd with their innovative control. How in the hell is sony going to get any new potential coustomers with the NGP. It won't attract casuals because they don't want to play console games on their portables. It won't attract tech geeks because they want their portabable to be all in one. It will only attract hardcore gamers.
I for one can't wait for the device because I've wanted a psp for a while and i enjoy the thought of a portable console gaming experience. But I'm worried what will happen to support if the sales are terrible. The sony fans will buy this. But PS2 to PS3 sales proved that most console owners aren't fans of a particular brand, they get the console they believe is best for them regardless of the brand. Hopefully sony will suprise us with future announcements because from what we know now, this is a "hardcore gamer's" dream gadget but really irrelevent to everyone else.
