Yours seems the be the only resonable negative comment out of last bunch... Youre right that keyboard and mouse would be not present(technically they could as it has USB ports) so you probably wouldn't be able to play some games, but the two 8 directional dpads seem to have very high levels of re-progaming ability. It wouldn't be conventional PC gaming for sure but seems like a fun experiment. As far as storage, yeah you'd need a micro SD card if you want more than 2-3 full PC games. Another 32 GB should be enough. NGP does look badass, but its a closed platform(till someone hacks it). I wouldn't say that this is for a hardcore gamer but more likely someone who is casual about gaming and wants to buy a portable device that replaces the laptop, tablet and portable gaming device. Windows 7 driver support is also a huge advantage. Need an extra screen around the house? But a capture card dongle. Need 3G connection...buy dongle...etc |
I accept that they would be programmable, but I still see having a dedicated gaming controller as preferable.
Well at the moment, 32GB microSD cards are rather expensive, but of course the will drop down, but I think only being able to carry round a couple of games is useless. My steam file on my PC weighs in at around 136GB
To be honest, much of my concern for it is my dislike of any sort of tablet thing. What I mean by that, is I feel once you have a laptop and an Android smartphone, the only things you need are dedicated gaming devices, and I don't feel a device like this would be useful for anything other than gaming, an area in which I feel it might fall short.
Especially as technology moves forward, you are going to be able to play fewer and fewer games, whereas something like an NPG or 3DS, you know that your console is going to be supported to 5 years
