Sony wins the next handheld generation because of two facts

Nintendo wins because it is Nintendo

Snakemaster9

I bet you would have said that when the original Playstation came out as well.

Honestly, I think both companies will find difficulty dominating the handheld arena due to added competition and pressure from Apple and other mobile providers who seem to be incorporating gaming more dramatically into their devices. On the one hand, Nintendo has a strong appeal to minors and has a great reputation among parents for children's games (although they're online still sucks and doesn't seem to be getting much better) while Sony provides a technologically superior gaming experience that will attract the more hardcore gaming group. I think Sony has a better chance of capitalizing based on the crowd they're targeting and how mobile gaming can equate to what is experienced on consoles, which I think may persuade a number of PS3 and 360 owners to invest in the NGP.

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"]I'm not saying it'll beat the 3DS. I'm just saying Sony's doing its homework, and this upcoming fight between the NGP and the 3DS will probably look a lot different. Sony's found ways to distinguish its NGP from the 3DS.windsquid9000

Hmmmm...looks like Sony is using the portable console technique again IMO, but we will see what happens.

Ummm okay. It still sounds like they want it to be a portable PS3.

1. i don't see how shooters would work with 3DS's button layout.

2. Only thing i give a damn about from those, is Zelda.

Why not? Shooters worked on the DS.SoraX64

i can't imagine how they can work without two analogue sticks. even one would be sufficient, if you would have the D-pad on the opposite side. maybe they have shooters, but i imagine the would play awkward at best.

2. And yet it's still >>>>> Black Ops.

i agree, but millions of others don't. sales don't lie.

I really don't give a flying fart that it's a PS3 portable. Cool whatever. What I don't understand is why cows like the one that made this thread think Sony has next gen in the bag because it made another powerful handheld. My goodness this really is 2005 all over again.

Wasnt the PS3 suppose to win, since its better in technology?

Nintendo will leave Sony in their dust again.

NGP will probably not beat the 3DS but it'll still be one hell of a device. I think NGP will do much better than the PSP ....... sales and games wise. Nonstop-Madness

yeah, 3DS will mostlikely win because of DS's huge fanbase, but NGP seems more appealing to me. i just hope it gets some solid games.

The NGP will lose because of an extremely high price and poor dev support thanks to high development costs.

Sony needs to recognize that better tech doesnt equal better sales. Didnt work with ps3, didnt work with the psp.

2. Porting PS3 code to the NGP only takes a couple weeks with minimal effort/compromise.

I don't think devs will have any trouble making games for the NGP.

I don't even want to bother debating how the 3DS will devour Sony's handheld, much like it's predecessor did, because I know most of you are 14 year-olds who think the NGP is "really, really cool!!"

[QUOTE="scorch-62"]So it all boils down to 1.Because I said so. 2. Because they're Sony. Am I right?windsquid9000

History has said that the weakest hardware wins the sales wars: SNES, PS1, PS2, Wii, DS

NGP will probably cost more, have a smaller library of games and is coming out later. Nintendo is going to ''win''.RK-Mara

The millions of sales were on the PS3 and mostly XBox 360. People usually buy CoD to play online with each other. All those sales on the consoles do not equate the same sales for the handheld versions, especially if you can't play online with the people on the console counterparts.

[QUOTE="SoraX64"]3DS will win because of library.SoraX64

2. LoZ, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, etc. >>>>>>>>a half baked FPS made for13 year olds

1. A real CoD though? Sony just need to make sure the game is linked on PS3 and NGP and its game over. May not be the best franchise but it does have selling power, you'll find alot of these 13 year olds will want a portable CoD

2.Bolded is correct. Just Mario Kart and Zelda and i wouldve taken it seriously

You would think the PSP cows would learn by now that better graphics does not automatically mean a better game list. :roll:

I heard that 5 years ago when the PSP was new. In fact, all this NGS vs 3DS is same as it was 5-6 years ago. :|

Let's be realistic here. 3DS is gonna most likely be cheaper and it adds a little extra to a in-style gimmick so it will win. Doesn't make it better, just makes it a easier sell.

[QUOTE="Kingpin0114"]

Sony is going to get manhandled again because it's trying to be the jack of all trades. Didn't work with the PSP so why would it work with the NGP?

its shooting for a more console like experience and thats why its really going to fail, you'll probably be better off owning a console and then getting a 3ds, the ngp would be like telling a pc gamer to play on a console, now your your telling a console gamer to play on a portable.savagetwinkie

Sony's attacking all markets this time around. A console experience on the go is just one of many that the NGP will offer.

Lol TC, bringing CoD in the argument shows how desperate you are.

1. They work with google together and open their library and their concept for other smartphones. Plus they make an adroid smarthphone psp hybrid by them self. This step brings the psp brand forward and makes sony ready when time comes if handhelds have to fusion with phones completly. Nintendo lacks this kind of concept. They are still stucked in the 90s when they did their money with pokemon. I see a lot of young kids these days with smartphones and other mobilphones.

2. The PSP2 is just better in technology. Nintendo has 3D therefore has sony better graphics. 3DS is just as strong as PSP while NGP is as strong as a PS3. 3D is pretty useless for handhelds, cause it will take too much battery life. Plus sony is the one who has better controlls this time. Two analogsticks, motion controls, two touchpads, camera and microphone. Sony lost the last generation because they focused too much on graphics while nintendo came with innovative controls. This time its completely the opposite. 3D is not ready for handhelds it will eat to much battery life while nintendo has nothing new with their controls besides that one analogstick.

No its not. The most desired console to develope on will be the one which has the biggest user base. Developers see £ signs.

Sony attacked all markets with the PSP. Nothing unusual there really that theyre going for broader horizon than last gen.

Exactly!

How else would you explain the support the DS got last gen?

As of now, the NGP will definitely be a wiser purchase.
