[QUOTE="-Big_Red-"][QUOTE="Silent_Bob32"] 1. What? Touch pads on the back of the system that will probably be used to replace the R2 and L2 buttons on a dualshock? 3G support that is entirely useless and will only add to the cost of the system? There's no doubt that the touch screen and read touch panels could be used to make some interesting games, but of the games shown off the only one that utilizes that stuff in a remotely interesting way is Little Deviants. 2. I'm sure 3rd party developers are impressed by the power that the PSP2 is capable of, but that doesn't mean that they'll throw massive support at it. They didn't when the PS3 first hit. If the system ends up being expensive (and there's zero chance that it'll launch for less than $400) then I'm sure you won't see massive amounts of support out of the gate for fear that the system won't sell well initially. Also, the PSP didn't get good 3rd party support because of bad software sales due to rampant piracy, not because of controls. 3. I read your argument and it's wrong. The DS and Wii sold so well because they offered unique experiences that couldn't be found on other platforms, and at much more affordable prices than the competition. That, and Nintendo is a significantly more well known brand to people who aren't hardcore gamers. 2. No Silent_Bob321. I think you need to chillax, the NGP isn't even close to it's release date so I'm sure that there are more ways that the rear touchpads could be used. 3G support isn't required:roll:. 2. Lol sorry i meant to type that "Sony has fixed this issue with NGP". Also, they reason that they didn't do that with the PS3 at launch was because it costed $600. I'm sure that the NGP wil cost like $350 tops. Sony has learned their lesson. 3. So are you saying that a system as powerful as the dreamcast can make better games than a system as powerful as the original XBOX? 1. Totally chill dude. We'll see if developers do anything interesting with the PSP2's touch functionality, my point was that so far it doesn't look like they are. 2. You're assuming it'll cost $350, which by the way is still massively expensive for people who aren't hardcore gamers, and is expensive on it's own compared to consoles and other handhelds in the market. 3. That depends on how you define good games-- if graphics are all that matter to you (and it sure sounds like it) then the PC has the best games EVAH. But yeah, I'd say technology is only partially important for certain kinds of games, and those games (open world, cinematic and sandbox style games) don't translate well to portables anyway (see: every PS2 port on the PSP) 1. It's FAR too early to tell. The rear touch pad could easily be used as L2/R2 buttons like you said. 2. $350 tops. We'll just have to see. 3. That isn't true. My all time favorite fighting game is Street Fighter Alpha 3 back on the PSone. And it's not hard at all to please me graphically. But why do you think that games on the PS3/360 generally get a higher rating than ones on the Wii?
My theory of why the NGP will outsell the 3DS in North America/UK/AU.
