I'm tired about all these 3DS wants out there, lets get a thread started about a console worthy of my 1000th post. With graphics like the ps3, OLED multi-touch screen, full functioning playstation button layout, memory card based games, quad core processor, 2 cameras, and a rear touchpad is the NGP.

At first hearing all of these amazing features in one package seemed impossible for an affordable price, but apparently \/\/many analysts disagree with me.\/\/

No need to hate on the 3DS just to like the NGP. Both are pretty nice.

The NGP looks pretty slick, I saw footage of someone playing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (MHP3) with it and the second analog stick is really useful. No more clawing!

I don't have the money for either at the moment. However, if MHP3 is announced for a US release the desire/temptation to get an NGP will be much MUCH stronger. :)
 
I'm probably getting the 3DS much later this year, waiting to get the "NGP" much later. About the same thing I did with the last generation of handhelds.
 
If the next MH is released as a US version adn only for NGP... Yea, its being bought overnight. Only portable game series worth buying with 2 analog sticks? oh yea.
 
great another PsP lets see how well this one goes, cause all the others went so well!
 
*stares at people rubbing the back of their PSP2 in the New York City Trains* hilarious sight I am going to enjoy this handheld, well enjoy people using it.

Sarcasm detected, and not understood. Nothing, except maybe game selection, was wrong with the first PSP, and I still have PSP games I break out from its *launch* (Brotherhood of Blades or whatever that hack and slash was called anyone?).

Heck, the PSP arguably has the best hack/slash/rpg game to date, one that easily sinks over 500hours of actual content.

The only problem with the PSP was its price (except the PSPGo -_-), which compared to the DS at launch was very expensive. Also I'm with Caco, Untold Legends was one of the best RPGs I've ever played; simple and infinite amounts of play.

This is obviously different because the price is exactly the same.

3DS: $250
PSP2 (no 3g): $250

I've wanted this since it was just an idea! I heard that this also functions as a phone?! :o

No, I heard that too, its a myth. The 3g is just for web and gaming, which should make the plan relatively cheap.
 
Either Sony will finally take over the handheld market... or we'll have the most extreme case yet of Nintendo having a massive success with an underpowered system almost entirely because of first-party games.

Probably the latter, and although I would certainly like to see Nintendo make some more technically impressive gadgets, I won't be complaining much.
 
Personally I don't think anyone will ever beat Nintendo in the hand held market. It just won't happen.

That doesn't mean the PSP and the NGP are bad by any means though. I enjoy both a DS and a PSP.

I do wish the PSP (and specifically Monster Hunter) would catch on a little more though, I can't get my RL friends to play them at all! :(
 
The estimated 250 is pretty good for what you're getting, but it means Sony will be have a pretty large profit loss for every sale. Software will probably be 50-60 than to make it up, and I have no intention to pay that much if most games are going to be PS3 ports.

Plus, how long is the battery life? A quadcore, touchpad, highres screen and it's being used for heavy processing games? Sony better have some good R&D for that thing.

Actually, the iPhone only costs $110 dollars to make and ship. So things aren't as expensive as they appear.

I think the idea of the NGP acting as a phone is a combo of the NGP's announcement and the Sony Ericsson PSP phone thing rumor. Whatever happened to that, anyway?

It was just confusion over the recent announcement of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, a phone that can play games from Playstation Network, and the PSP2.

i am not excited.

Yeah, you exaggerated sony's lack of success and offered a pessimistic feeling towards this generation. I got that from your first post and chose to defuse your exaggeration.

but you have given into the hype that sony does so well with.
but come on the PsP has always bombed, and tbh i doubt this will be different. they should just stick with consoles, i love my ps2 nothing is better than it.
i was just saying with their record they shouldn't put time and money into this.
but i will have to see when it finally gets released.

I don't think the PSP was a failure...the Go was a failure, but I don't know about the others.
This judgment may be clouded by the fact that I like the games on the PSP still, while I got bored of my DS a few months ago.
