God I wish the NGP is like the PS3. Nintendo has never lost the handheld war, they always win, what Sony is doing is trying to give people choices, and enough with the 3D has being some king of advantage already. The NGP is not going to outsell the 3DS, we get it, Sony gets it. What they are trying to do is not only sell 60 million console but offer software that plays well and gives us a console experience on the Go. 

The PSP biggest weakness was not the DS, it was its control, it was just bad. DS offered a much better experience, but I feel now, they are going to compete now when it comes to the experience minus the gimmick. I love the Ipod Touch, The Evo, The PSP, but it never gives me the experience, the control I really want want playing. I don't want angry birds, slicing games all day. 

NGP will give people like me who don't care for Nintendo games a chance to experience great gaming on the Go for the first time. 

I still can't believe how some of you guys are so in the dark on your thinking.  The control of the psp had nothing to do with how it sold.  the people bitching about control all had one regardless

It was THE GAMES.  The psp games were not portable games, they were console games on a portable.  Nintendo's handheld had better portable games and thus sold better.  Look at psp's system sellers.  they are portable games.  Monster hunter is a portable game, it is not a console game.  I have the console version and i can tell instantly this works better as a portable.  Pokemon is a portable game.  and puzzle, brain teasers, ect are portable games.

Uncharted, God of War, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, GTA ect are NOT portable games.  THey do not sell portable hardware.  They are system sellers for consoles only.  They will be just show-off games.  To show people aroudn you "wow look at these pretty graphics", meanwhile you are thinking "damnit i want to go home and play on my TV"

Sounds like your going to make same mistake again, like sony seems to be doing based on games line-up, since your saying NGP will give you the first time to experience gaming on the go.  Can't wait to see you realize this very thing.  That there are games that are good on home consoles and there are games that are good on portables.  More often than not they are NOT the same.

The PSP is one of the best selling console of all times, it had no issues selling, it was its control, not the games that slowed it down. Read every review, read every owners, the thing that has always hurt the PSP is its control.

The 3DS is getting tons of console games yet I never hear this issue. The game you guys want on the 3DS, MH is a much better game on the console, yet I don't see you guys not wanting it. 

NGP will be able to play both casual and core games. I believe it will bring a new experiece even the console can't bring. The PSP did not have that advantage.
