I really don't see 3G data being a big hit outside of Japan.

I know I would never want to pay a monthly subscription price for 5G or 10G of data just for my portable game system. Nice idea, but to me, its very impracticable.

Not to mention that 3G speeds are generally quite slow as compared to typical wifi n and as such would affect online play for many PS3 gaming experiences.

Additionally, I will eat my own hat if the NGP is priced at 25,000Y. I'm expecting at least 35,000Y.

Overall, its nice to see devs excited with the potential. It means we'll see good games. Hopefully not just cookie cutters from the PS360. That uniqueness is why Nintendo's handhelds do so well. They don't just copy home console games.

with the 3ds? I beg to differ

Are there many ports on the 3DS announced (and on the DS before)? yes. However, are those the games that push the system and create the real buzz? No of course not. Its the numerous unique games only on the DS and what will be on the 3DS that create that system selling power. Games like Pokemon, Brain Age, unique Zeldas, upcoming sure to be hits like AR games and Kid Icarus.

your statement was rather generalized hence my gripe with it. 3ds has a shitload of ports this time around. No doubt that ninty has some high selling games that are unique to their handhelds. Doesn't mean PSP didn't have them too tho. It did, it had many. It's just that they didn't have the same level of success in sales. But that's a whole different topic which needs a new thread, so let's leave it for now

NGP 'imo' has the potential to do more with the HW. and I'm not talking about power alone. It has brought more in terms of new gameplay mechanics with it. so hopefully devs will utilize them, the Uncharted demo looked like they are doing just that. So here's hoping it keeps up in other new Ip's like Gravity Daze as well. Time will tell
