3DS vs NGP is/will playing/play out exactly like DS vs PSP

It's the exact same thing.

-PSP fans claimed PSP had better hardware and better graphics over the DS which is why it was the better handheld. DS fans shot back that DS was original and had better gameplay.

-Same thing is happening all over again; Sony fans are saying NGP has better graphics; better everything and 3DS fans are saying gameplay and experience will be better on 3DS.

So based on this, we can safely say 3DS will once again win over NGP.

I agree, eventually I will get a NGP and forget totally about the 3DS.

the problem with the PSP was it was released without a second analog stick, so it didn't really do teh gaming bit right, the MP3 Player parts was a pain in the ******, UMD movies flopped, and teh Internet capability was ******. Now that thie new PSP actually can play games thanks to 2 sticks, if the other parts suck, it won't be such a big loss. And the 3DS is usless to me as my eyes are incapable of seeing 3D.

Based on that, we can sefely say your premises are faulty.

At least, the well informed can. No offense.

Its been a clear repeat since day one. The 3DS will have a line up that can never be match (even if not at launch) and the NGP will have the graphics

Well if the PS2/PS3 has taught us anything its that if you win one generation you are going to win the next as well..... oh wait.Zero5000X

I sometimes get deja vu. It's like ds vs psp all over again.

DS - criticized for being gimmicky with double screens

3DS - criticized for being gimmicky for 3D

Psp - powerful hardware, cater to the core

NGP - powerful hardware, catering to the core.

Looking at the games being released for both handhelds at the moment, the 3DS is looking superior, but that could easily change. I just have no use for the NGS right now because I can play the superior, cheaper versions of it's games on my PS3.

Well let's just say, the 3DS has a really good start.
No great launch line up, but more pre-orders than the wii.
And sony isn't announcing its price.
It won't be easy to catch up to a nintendo handheld that is selling well, months after it has sold well.

Well I bought a DS because I mainly like the casual games. I actually play tetris, mario, crossword games sometimes. I like pickup and play games that you can turn on play for 10 minutes, then turn off. I don't know how well Sony NGP can do this since they are just catering to the core.

Nintendo caters yet again to a broader audience BUT Nintendo is actually having a diverse launch lineup and future lineup. Its actually scary how good the 3DS lineup is. If you maybe passed up on the PS3, I could see getting an NGP. But in terms of quality gaming in terms of handheld and mainsream gaming The 3DS is really great.

BUT Nintendo is actually having a diverse launch lineup >gamer0100

nope because the ngp is the real next gen portable. imho its going to have more games and better sales than the 3ds. sony has the momentum in 2011

Well if the PS2/PS3 has taught us anything its that if you win one generation you are going to win the next as well..... oh wait.Zero5000X

Except for the fact that Nintendo has been dominant on handhelds for 25+ years, starting with Game & Watch. :P

It much different this time around. Sony lined themselves up to have both hardcore and casual games on the NGP. The PSP lacked many thing the DS had ..... NGP basically has everything the 3DS has minus the 3D. I don't doubt the 3DS will beat the NGP but it'll be closer than before. Nonstop-Madness

nobody can predict the future, this gen showed it better than any before, so we will never be able to agree which one will do better before any of them released oO I guess this gen handhelds won't be as huge as last gen with all the Smart Phones around, but we'll see. Getting both btw ;D

If Sony keeps the NGP fairly hacker free, then it could be an excellent choice for devs. I just hope they manage to pull it off, and not have every update hacked within hours/days.

3DS will dominate simply because its the 3D..S and Nintendo.. it could have maybe 5 great games its whole lifespan and people will eat it up.

I don't understand how people can say the PSP doesn't have good games. Recent games like Dissidia and BBS prove otherwise.

Or maybe it could play out like the 360 PS3 situation. Nintendo fans claim the 3DS will have the win before the gen even starts (which really makes no sense to me) just like Sony fans did with the PS3 but PS3 ended up not winning, same could happen with the 3DS.FIipMode

This is how I see it.

Many people happen to forget that the PSP has a sleep mode, which is essentially the "pick up and play" thing you guys seem to talk about. I use it all the time if I'm playing and I have to stop for some reason. Besides, not ALL DS games are pick up and play, and there are pick up and play games for the PSP. Neither system seems to be lacking in that department.LuniasM

The biggest problem with the PSP, which scared off devs, is:

HACKS, HACKS, HAAA-AACKS!!

Sung to the tune of "Fack."

hmm, the fans are claiming similar things, but I don't think it will play out like it did last generation. I think the 3DS will get more sales than the NGP, but I believe it will be a much closer call, heres why:

- current rumours suggest the NGP will be a similar price to the 3DS. Last generation a lot of people (myself included) chose a DS over the PSP simply because of the price different

- the NGP is looking to cater for a wider demographic this time around, with its touch screen, touch pad, dual track pads, and gyro scopes- the casual market can be much better addressed than with the PSP. With the dual analog sticks, shooter fans will aso be happy

- 3rd party support. Hear me out here, yes the 3DS has a lot of support, and will probabaly have moire than the NGP, BUT it is already clear Sony made the NGP with developers in mind, already many engines have been announced to be running on the NGP, like CryEngine 2, Unreal engine 3, Havok Physics. Unreal Engine has been used so much this gen by developers because it is easy to develop on and cheap to license, thus bringing a lot of scope to the NGP

- full psn support. Not a biggy here, the 3DS has it too, however, combine this, with the dual analog sticks and suddenly you attract Call of Duty fans. The Call of Duty fanbase is currently huge, and a Call opf Duty game has already been announced for the NGP, thus CoD fans may want to try it on the go

This is my two cents on the matter. I believe the 3DS will do better than the NGP, but I| think it will be much closer this time. I am just fed up of Sheep going opn about how this is exactly the same as the last generation, and Sony havnt learned from the PSP etc etc...

Are you surprised by this? Hardly anything changes on SW...

I'm liking all the

in the OP.

No one should count their chickens before they hatch. The situation is clearly different than the DS/PSP gen, and in the end the 3DS and NGP will probably end up pretty close.

I sense it will play out that way but even I know its too early to tell.

Onl time will tell.

It's the exact same thing.

So based on this, we can safely say 3DS will once again win over NGP.

Im not saying what you said isnt true, and honestly i agree with you, but lets not claim anything until both of them are released. The NGP can be a huge surprise.

duh you can analyze this just by the games shown for psp 2/ngp already --- these 9games have made their way on psp in a form

1 mgs

2 cod

3 resistance

4 lbp

5 gt

6 socom

7 kill zone

ya theres only 1 new comer-uncharted

and 2 multi plat-shared w 3ds

i thought everyone knew 3ds targets a broader audience already i mean look at its line up it extends over 30 titles already and the things not out

If sony can actually get devs to make games on the NGP they might have a chance, although Nintendo pretty much has the HH market in their hands.

nope because the ngp is the real next gen portable. imho its going to have more games and better sales than the 3ds. sony has the momentum in 2011
