Yeah, software is still unknown, but otherwise I completely agree.

Just appreciate the machines Nintendo and Sony cooked up for us and buy the one that has the games you like. Or both if you can/want afford it.

I personally will buy a 3DS because I love Mario and Zelda games. So I really don't have much of a choice here.

They showed some software in the event.  The ones I mentioned in the OP are some of the ones mentioned.

The psp1 may not have been a failure, but in terms of longevity it was.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

3DS:  DS with PS2 graphics, glasses-less 3D(nice job Ninty), and an analog stick

That's kinda hard to believe

Okay I need to state two things before I start:

1.  The "NGP= Nintendo Got Pwned" crap is getting old.  It was funny at first but it got ridiculous.

2.  This is just MY OPINION.  Go look at the specs of BOTH before someone starts making "random" comments. 

So now that that's out of the way let me start.  Alright so now that everyone has calmed down a bit with the "NGP sucks" or "3DS sucks" or "Is the NGP the doomest thing ever?"(Okay I have to admit that was pretty funny.  Nice job guy with the fat funny looking sumo for a default pic.)  I wanna give my thoughts on the situation.  This is what I think of both handhelds:

3DS:  DS with PS2 graphics, glasses-less 3D(nice job Ninty), and an analog stick

PSP2(NGP):  PSP with PS3 graphics(kinda), a touch pad, a touch screen, the motion thing(Im gonna call it PSP2 six axis), extra analog, 2 cameras, trophies, 3G.

Honestly, I would pick the PSP2 over the 3DS when it comes down to features.  Glasses-less 3D really isn't that big of a deal.  On the software side, 3DS has an edge because it's more diverse.  But they both offer a nice amount of quality titles.  

Which one will sell more?  I don't care.  Why? Because they're both going to be excellent pieces of technology that will give us great gaming experiences for years to come.  If I had to pick which one would sell more, I'd say the 3DS because it's more diverse and people are going to go gaga over the glasses-less 3D(until they go blind!  Lol jk)  Also because it will release sooner, and will be cheaper than the PSP2.  But just because the PSP2 gets outsold by the 3DS doesn't mean it's going to be a "failure."  The Wii outsells the 360 and PS3.  That doesn't mean that the PS3 and 360 are failures.  I expect the PSP2 to release at $300.  

If I only had money for one, I would buy the PSP2.  Just because LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, Call of Duty, Monster Hunter > the only 3 games I'm interested in coming out for the 3DS(Ocarina of Time, MGS3, KH:3D)  But I'll be buying neither come launch day.  I'm already busy enough with my PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP.   I'll probably wait till next year to get both.

PS:  The PSP was not a failure.  People(some people here at VGC) just say it's a failure because the DS sold more.  

I stopped reading after you described the NGP and left out a lot of the 3DSs features

Wait you tell us to look at the specs before we make any comment yet you don’t seem to know if there is more or just that in the 3DS? That alone made this thread fail so hard and I thought I was going to read something reasonable and fair to both sides.

It has GC graphics which is more than what the PS2 was. It has motion and gyros which we knew about at E3 long before the NGP was revealed. It has 3 cameras two at the back and one over the top screen. It also has two screens in case you missed those as well and one of them is touch :P

So it has everything the NGP has except for the 3G and the back touch thing weaker graphics but the 3D effects makes up for that. If developers chose not to use the 3D the games can look even better.
