i love how everyone is assuming the price for the ngp is 400-500 without any source.



i thin the assumption is minninum of $300.  But hell look at Sony in general.  Their products are never cheap, they are always the high end on cost in whatever it is.  TV's, systems, stereo, ect. 

Look at their consoles.  The cheapest a console has EVER released for them was the PS2 at what $300.  (don't know what ps1 was, so that could have been)

PS2 - $300

PSP - $250

PS3 - $600

Now just re-read again the features, look at graphics, size, specs and so on and tell me you think this can be as cheap as $250. 

BTW as for graphics, watched some videos when i got home yesterday and the graphics are not ps3 level.  If you guys had those graphics shown for PS3 you would say the developer was being lazy.  They are obviously closer to ps3 graphics than wii graphics.  But just saying, Uncharted did not look as good as Uncharted on PS3


I'm pretty sure the PS1 was 300.

psp2

it can have all the touch screen games now, bigger action games, fps', much better online and as it stands, much better games.

good logic but ofcourse i always seem to underestimate the power of marketing.....i think 3ds will sell more.

You have to remember these are launch titles and no way near complete. look how early psp games looked and how ghost of sparta looks.

was just saying, i know every console you look at first games and last and huge difference.

but again this uncharted and those, weren't they really just direct PORTS.  so shouldn't they look the same?  i mean it could be just the resolution solely, but they weren't equal in quality



PSP2 specs are awesome but it is a portable. That said the shape of the thing sucks for taking it on the run. Why didn't Sony account for that. 

The 3DS closes up making it very portable.

I love my PSP but I can only carry it during the winter when I wear a bulky coat

Has activision come out and said call of duty won't come out on 3DS?

Call of Duty on NGP?

... omg, first off, I hate that name...

But, yeah, I don't play FPS, so, my experience with them hasn't been tainted by over-exposer.  I don't own a single FPS on PS3, and plan to get KZ3 sometime..

But, why does Call of Duty excite me most (more-so than Uncharted) I'm not sure....

I think there may be a tread coming soon where we see games on PS3/360/NGP...  And, also, NGP will hold me over until PS4 comes around (even if it's another 4 years away).

But, me not being the biggest fan of-... oops.. I forgot what I was going to say..  But, I hope there's a way to have more than one hard-copy game with me.  Why not pack a DL code with official hard copies of the games, so I can DL and take some with me.

Also, I hope there will be an option to switch the 3G off... I don't want cancer, I already try to keep a distance from my cellphone...  This thing would be PERFECT, if it had some sort of notepad program for typing/note taking...  But, I'll be the few who wants an NGP, but, for Movies, music, and internet.  I'll hope Megaman Powered Up will be on the store by the time this thing is released, because it's literally the only PSP game I play...  I could go on and on about this thing... I don't even care of the cost..

But, as for the 3DS...

Not interested in 3D, or the battery life.  I've got SSFIV already, and the only game I bought multiple times was Tekken 5/Dark Resurrection... I had it on PS2, PS3, and PSP, and on PS2, I bought it twice...  The only game I'd even consider buying so many times over is Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (because I've been doing it already).

But, outside of that.. I don't like Mario, or Link.. Donkey Kong is Okay, but, c'mon, it's going to take more than that.  Outside of that, the only other game I would be interested in playing on 3DS is Megaman Legends 3... But, seeing as how Capcom is going with the NGP, they would want to push all their titles the best way they can on the system... Why not have MML3 on NGP also?

The thing about the two systems I find interesting... In one, you watch the game in 3D, the other, you play in 3D.  So, I think I could pass on the visuals, and the only thing to get me to MvC3 on 3DS, NGP, or PS3, would be the inclusion of Megaman, or Ruby Heart, should they bring it to the 3DS, in reference to the article up last week. (I love my fighters)

But, I have a feeling I wont be buying hand held versions of games I already own (Because, again, I want a portable media station, and it would be complete if I could type on the go.)

So, mark me down for NGP... Now, as for everyone else?...  It depends... Sony would have to reach out to everyone who wants an iPod, or has one, and convience them to switch over.

We shall see, but, I wouldn't expect NGP to pass 3DS before late 2013...

BTW, I would love to see a mirror's edge game on NGP... It better be a mistake that EA wasn't on the list..

EDIT:

Anyone know anything about the space?  I think I'm going to need a minimum of 8GB, but, hoping for even 3x that.

Thats just your taste

NSMB DS is loved by more than 20 million players

I don't think it would be very smart with only 1 anolog stick on the handheld. Its almost a fact that most to all FPS games will be on the NPG. The Second stick makes a huge difference.

the ds has numerous FPS.  That alone does not mean it won't be on the 3DS
