[QUOTE="tagyhag"]I don't think it's going to flop, however I think it will still come in 2nd place like the PSP before it.tagyhag

nahh.. the 3DS is doing pretty bad compared to the DS. the change is not that drastic, and so people are better off with a DS (those who are not crazy about 3D).

the NGP though, will have new features from the PSP. main being the touchscreen and the second analog stick, which are a bigger deal than 3D. then there's a trackpad and gyroscope.

There is no way the NGP will be a big seller out of the gate. The PS3 had a high pricetag but you could at least use it as a Blu-ray player. The NGP will have to be sold on games alone. I don't think graphics matter as much for portable consoles so this could really go bad if they don't get enough developer support.

its targeting $200 laptops with its fusion line, the article mentions llano since its part of the fusion line but likely you'll the low end fusion in those $200-300 systems, lenovo is releasing an entry level one with Llano under $400, so it could be $399... but that price point is a pipe dream for Llano and i think he didn't expect people to readsavagetwinkie

It's going to have a hard time competing with existing systems, including the PSP. I just don't think graphics matter that much for portable gaming. The iphone has good enough graphics so I don't see gamers rushing to buy an NGP.

They should have cut the tech down a bit and kept it under $200.

So after finally getting the 3DS (only a month later than intended!), and fiddling around with AR Games, Face Raiders, 3DS Sound, 3DS Camera, Mii Plaza et al, I have to hand it to Nintendo- this must probably be the best system they have ever created.

Another true believer. It's interesting that the vast majority of the "haters" have only ever experienced the 3DS via an in-store demo which, admittedly, isn't the best presentation. However, once people get one home in their hands and spend some quality time with it, they realize just what a marvel it really is.

3ds is a psp with a 3d screen

Co Sign this a million times!!!!

I hate the 3DS. The graphics aren't much of an improvement and the battery life sucks. I'd rather play on the PSP.

More power isn't a gimmick, it's a feature. A gimmick is a trick to lure buyers that later loses its appeal. HD graphics have not lost their appeal, no one wants to go back to to SD. That robot thing is a freaking gimmick. The AVGN show on it was hilarious.
