Okay I should have chosen another word because there's obviously a lot of dirty-minded people here.

 

I like to put my hands all over my games.

There.

^ Anime gurls? He needs real meat!

 

Back to topic: It's logical.
With all the mobile software the NGP is going to get, it would be irresponsible to force them go physical.

what they should do because not everyone has internet or fast enough or not enough downloads or both is set up download booths in every game stop (walmart etc etc) were you go in you plug your ngp and you scroll down to what game you want, insert your money and then you download it to your sd card in your ngp or just by pluging your sd card into it. 

I rather do that then burn up all my downloads. 



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

Anybody else making an N64-GC analogy here?

Anyhow, I think this is a bad idea. I doubt there's much scope for a huge online portable market on something like the NGP and the PlayStation brand relies on the "middle class" of games to sell, making life a lot more difficult here since only "Uncharted and Call of Duty" will make it.

Sure its a bad idea, this isnt what the article is saying at all. Though, with 3G there should be a somewhat big online market for the NGP.

sounds like they havent learned from the horrible mess known as the pspgo, and want the ngp to fail by this way of thinking. i hope they change this thinking over time, because if they dont the ngp will get obliterated by the 3ds in sales and support. 

if they stick with this strategy then i wont buy that many games for the ngp, i am getting the device on launch day for sure, but will only buy games that hit retail. since i love my physical media and not are much of a fan of digital downloading to get my games .


The plan is to offer developers a way of going to digital downloads only. This is great for young developers and those with low budgets or even someone who wants to try something fresh or new. They are not getting rid of physical media, infact they stated that. Just another way to offer games to people who do not care for physical media and a cheaper alternative for developers.
