I am surprised at the optimism on price.

NGP really is turning out to be a developers system....if the price is right, marketing and so on it could be bigger than PSP.

I think the only problem I see is that the price, as a company, you still want either a good margin, or at most a small margin of loss, and at the same time, you want consumers willing enough to buy this. (Not just the hardcore....which are famitsu readers). 

Hopefully Sony finds a balance between the two, I will pick this device up, most likely after one or two full years...(I do this with every sony console). 

I think price won't be so astronomical - there already are two SoC systems planned for 2011 release with quad core arm A9 cpus ang Gpus as powerfull or faster than what NGP will have.

What SoCs are those?

Tegra 3 and

altrough i was bit wrong as nova 9600 is only dual core but with clockspeeds reaching 2.5Ghz

So if Sony for example releases NGP in early 2012 for US there already might be faster tablets/phones on the market.
