For colors that Famitsu readers want, white was the most popular, followed by blue, red, silver and green. But what games did they list when asked what they wanted to play on the NGP?

Monster Hunter, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Tales series and Kingdom Hearts. Sony's handheld might have changed, but Japan's gaming habits haven't.


 


I have seen Pic of the White one and it looks Smexy^_^

and SONY will need to push multiple colours from the outset like NINTENDO do. 

and also the Japanese wont to Play MH,MGS, FF, KH and tales and other such Games these are some of the most popular games in Japan just because the NGP has  all that power doesn't negate that fact.

Why? 3DS?

No way! Just, hard to justify spending a lot on a handheld.

What if it was 300?  You gotta admit, for what people are expecting and the specs, that's pretty damn reasonable, no?

It could be reasonable to some, but not me. Why? Well I don't own a PS3, and PS3 already has a bunch of great games and features and a blu-ray player. I could spend that $300 on a PS3 or an untried, new piece of hardware, that only might have great games and a great future...or could fail. I like to play it safe with my money. $300 for any new system, especially a handheld, is just too big of a gamble IMO.

It certainly won't fail.  It will do at least as good as the PSP I'd wager.  With the second analog stick, the games library can only be better than the PSP's.  It already has a Call of Duty lined up.  Kojima will probably make a Metal Gear, etc.  And it's not like it's fair to equate its price with the PS3's, the PS3 has been out for a long time andis cheaper now.  I mean, the 3DS is 250.  The PSP2 being 50 bucks more would be amazing given its features.  Anyone who is squeamish about this price must not love the 3DS's either.


All I'm saying, is that too a lot of people, I'd guess the majority of people, $300 is an amount of money that is not easily parted with for something that is simply for entertainment, as any game system inherently is. If I only had $300 for one system, the NGP and yes even the 3DS would be a hard sell with Wii's and PS3's out there.

BTW, I certainly didn't mean to insinuate that the NGP will not do well, it looks amazing, and if it gets some great games behind, I'm sure it'll do great.

Whatever LOLZ, what your trying to say is that the Japanese prefer the NGP to the 3DS. That's plain and simple what your implying. The Japanese have decided to purchase the DS over the PSP by 50%....32 million compaired to 16 million. And this "survey" tries to convince people that the ngp, with NO PRICE, with NO GAMES, with NO RELEASE DATE  is favored at 76% ? That is the biggest laugh of the year. Because the Japanese don't buy 2 systems.... especially with the prices these days, so that would have to mean that the 3DS is only at 24% approval. It is so sad how far fanboys will go these days just to have a little hope.....

The public doesn't know what they want.

Out of that list, only monster hunter is a true system seller, all the other titles while having great a chance to beat 1~1.5M are more front loaded titles and less desired.

If you notice the most wanted weekly list from famitsu and the actual sales from those games when they release, you'll see that things don't add up. Just take a look at FFXIII sales on Japan. That game was 2 years in Famitsu top 10 most wanted titles.

Dragon Quest X is there on the top positions (2nd I think?) although I really doubt the game can break even 3 million due to the Wii's situation on Japan.

Sorry for the slightly off topic =)

Famitsu's readers=/=entire gaming public. It's as if they took a poll from GameInformer readers. It won't be a completely honest showing considering all of your survey base is already interested in those titles. Hardcore fans are also a lot more likely to vote for their favorite game series than normal fans. That's why smaller, niche titles creep up on the Most Wanted list.

PSP is hugely popular in Japan with adolescents, and those are the main readers of the magazine, so something like that was expected.

I'm sure it'll sell tons once there's Monster Hunter on it.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

I know I sure as hell desire one.  The NGP would be a better fit in that "desire" commercial then the stupid Hyundai car in it.  The NGP is definitely lustworthy!!

Everyone wants one, just not everyone is willing to pay for it.
