I have a feeling that there's gonna be a slim NGP

I have a feeling that there's gonna be a slim NGP somewhere down the line... like a year or 2 after the original.

EG. PSP fat - PSP slim

PS2 fat - PS2 slim

PS3 fat - PS3 slim

So I think I'll just buy a GO and wait a year before buying the NGP. What are your thoughts?

there will almost deffinitely be multiple iterations of the system. thats why as much as I want to buy it day one I will not be doing so. I will wait until at the very least there are different colors to choose from. Also to the above poster, I honestly dont feel that what Sony (and nintendo with the DS) have done with there handheld consoles should have gotten to the "natural" state that it has with this multiple iteration crap. The only reason i even have a slim PSP is because the nub on my phat broke. I think that it is greedy and rather unfair for these companies (and this gets expanded out to Microsofts Xbox "slim") to expect their customer base to buy the same system over and over again because they added a new function or make it lighter. All that shows to me is that the original product was rushed to market and that the first release was in a sense the Beta version. I feel the same way about games now that release "add-on" content within a few weeks of the games release.

Most likely! They always seem to make a slimmer model of a system.

Playstation 1 > PSOne

Well it's not like it being any slimmer is going to make it any better.

ill be waiting for price drop cause wii 2 is around the corner and i am not spending the same 350 i can spend on my next console i hardly used psp to begin with , so i jsut dont think itll be a wise investment for the money their asking

I want a slide/Go version of the NGP, so I'll wait. I hate having a brick in my pocket, I had a ds lite for 5 years and I always thought it was a step back in design.

I might be a bad example since I have all versions of the PSP but most likely Sony will do 1 more upgrade. It's natural as technology advances. I'm hoping that sometime later this year PSN games will get cheaper. I really do enjoy the GO and i'd like to purchase more games.gokuofheaven

Well... duh. They've been doing slim/newer models since the Gameboy days. It would be more surprising if they stopped doing that. Not really a bad thing though.DevilBorg

yes. it is sony's technique to get more out of their customers.

Customer 1: "I'll buy an NGP"

........(after 1 year or so)

Customer 1 (again): "I'll buy an NGP SLIM"

Sony: :twisted:

Basically every successfull handheld has had a slim model produced at some point or another.

Actually, yeah it could."Slim" models tend to have less faulty hardware and are better optimized. Also,with it being a portable, a smaller size would def be a plus.

so...it will be slim or not :D

I am still going to buy the first NGP because it gets the system off the ground (if it doesn't make sales it doesn't make revenue, stopping that branch of Sony) and maybe it will be the only backwards compatible NGP with certain games, I don't know.

Yes there will be a slimline NGP released about 2 years after original The NGP is released this year. (November 2011?) So a slim NGP 2013.

PS1,PS2,PS3,PSP have all have smaller slimline versions released. So When NGP is released eventually an NGP slim will follow.

it will be a good think if the dont use make a slim verson but instead a same NGP created with new technology of 11nm, that automaticly means less power for playing games so more hours of game ;) that will be total useful imo
