Well quite frankly without knowing the NGP's price point and launch lineup its hard to really guess what's going happen because a price point of $300 or more for a handheld probably is going like a lead balloon no matter how good the system or its games are. Additionally the 3DS lauched with arguably only one really strong launch title as it library expands and games like the Zelda remake enter the picture coulped with the online Nintendo store providing all sorts of content when its up and running sales could pick very quickly especially as we approach the holiday season, more so if nintendo drops the price point of the 3DS by $20 to $30 right before Sony launches the NGP, like they did with the original DS when the PSP came out. There's just too many unknowns right now to call the ball but I think price point of the NGP will be single biggest factor as to whether Sony gets a bigger market share this time around lest Nintendo complletely drops the ball in the software department which I think everyone can admit is doubtful, not impossible but doubtful given their history. The way I see it if the NGP is released at under $300 Sony will have a very good chance of increasing the market share in the handheld market if the NGP is released at or above $300 Sony will struggle just to mantain the marketshare they established with the PSP.
