With everything it does, Sony should launch in the US first. I caters to every type of gamer possible, plus the HD display.

Europe should be next, but I would try to get the two launches as close together as possible. Here's my personal (opinioned) breakdown of launch for the NGP.

December 10th, 2011 - US launch - 750,000 units for first two weeks.

February 5th, 2012 - UK launch - 400,000 units first two weeks.

February 20th, 2012 - Europe launch - 700,000 first two weeks.

April 27th, 2012 - Japan launch - 600,000 units first two weeks.

Man im doubting it does that good out the gate

Well like I pointed out, it caters to every possible play style and consumer.

Playstation Suite and Android. New content always available.

North American gamers will eat up a true Uncharted, Killzone and Resistance.

Japan will get Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy and Yakuza games. I also see Sony making a strong push to bring Dragon Quest to the system.

Europe will eat up a similar list as the North American list.

Think about it:

Uncharted, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo, Resistance, Killzone, Motorstorm and Socom heading to this platform, plus Android content. This will help sales.

I believe the Japan numbers are spot on. I'm not going to base my North American and Europe off of how the PSP did or is doing. Mainly because Sony has so much experience now and they are really looking at making the NGP as open software wise as possible.

But are those games confirmed for launch? if they are then yea maybe

Monster Hunter isn't even a new monster hunter they were showing off how Monster Hunter Portable 3rd played on NGP via PSN download service so you can play your old PSP titles -_-

Monster Hunter dominates on the PSP and I see it happening again on NGP. I will not doubt the power of Monster Hunter and a Sony handheld.

Monster Hunter dominated PSP cause it was easy to port down the PS2 and Wii games, guess what 3DS would carry over fine for the series, they keep it low cost and efficient so what happens when a new Monster Hunter hits home consoles on Wii and they do the portable version?  Most likely it will hit 3DS hell maybe still PSP since it's still strong in Japan, NGP? Maybe but they wouldn't redo the graphics so it's like why not get it on a different console then?
