More NGP details

[Maedhros]

I am fucking telling everyone right now. If Square Enix makes a Kingdom Hearts game for the NGP and not the PS3 I am going to get FUCKING pissed off.

KH: Birth by Sleep 2 will probably be for NGP only, seeing the last one was a PSP exclusive.

@SoulSnatcher

It's stupid to assume that on previous (assumed by Sony) errors, it'll not be overpriced.

Why does everyone assume this thing will cost a fortune?
A lot of people assumed the 3DS would be cheap but that turned out to be £230.
I don't get it.

They're assuming it will have a high price because of Sony's tendency to overprice things. I don't blame them.
PS3 - $599
PSP Go - $249

They assumed the 3DS would be cheap because of Nintendo's previously fair-priced systems.
That didn't stop it being £230.
Just like their assumption that the NGP will be expensive may not stop it from being affordable.

NGP = Next Generation Portable
Otherwise known as the PSP2.

KH BBS Final Mix has a secret ending (Zero Point), which basically says that there will be a BBS 2.

Birth by Sleep Final Mix is out on Japan, and it's secret end reveal the second instalment. Old news by now.

I predict the 3G version to be over $400

The Wi-Fi only being $300 almost the same as the 3DS in Japan.

Having both flash and PSN versions of games available is a bad idea for anywhere outside of Asia since this will cause a decline of flash sales, just wait until the 3G versions hits months later.

PSP2 is going to be cheaper than you think. This is basically Sony's last card. They've already shown the hardware, we already know about what types of games it will play, price is the only mystery.

SCEE further outlined its vision for the first five years of the platform and its target audience, with year one focused on "hardcore" and year two on "hardcore and teens", with the expectation that the audience will expand younger and older after that.

Or, to put it more cynically, "it will launch at a higher price, and sell to fans. A year later, we'll have the first price drop, to appeal to a wider audience, and a second price cut later on will draw in the casual crowd"

I think the NGP might end up being cheaper than people think.

 

[Ultralex]

I think they will make NGP cheaper than the 3DS and PS3 from start ,so that the console is more affordable than the 3DS.
The only way to get money out of it would be to make hundreds of good games.

BUt I think the 3DS will outsell the NGP like the DS the PSP.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

I think they will make NGP cheaper than the 3DS and PS3 from start so that they only get money from games and is more affordable tna then 3DS.

They are definitely not going cheaper than 3DS. Sony over prices not under prices, and quite frankly they'll be taking a loss even at $300-400 level.

That's not going to happen.
Also, they can't afford to do that.

Unless you know how much each component costs (in other words, the price to manufacture the NGP), I don't think you can make this bold affirmation.

Studios had been expecting to collect development kits at the event, but were told "late shipments from Japan" meant SCEE would now be "prioritising". According to the source, for a kit to be delivered before April a studio must supply a "20-page concept document on a game they want to release at launch".
[/p]

does this mean someone could "fake it" and make a official homebrew channel type thing? that would be legit!!!!!!
i seriously dont think that a 20 page concept is the only thing they will consider though
