Is it just me or This design is just too ugly..

No offence to those who are hyped but...
I just want to ask...

Do you find this a DSi copy?

 

[Smartpal]

So it is as powerful as a PS3! I need one of these. *drools*

Uh no. Why the hell would it be? It's a new console, as in next gen. DSi was just an upgrade, didn't offer anything new really. This gets a whole new library and new hardware with it.

Even then, how excelt is this a DSi Copy? Because of the touch screens?

Camera and touchscreen i guess... But i have to say, that thing has a HUGE screen!

If this console is around S$400, maybe i might consider getting one

Thats what I thought. No new innovations IMO. just another analog stick, touch screens and updated graphics and more power and cameras. Meh. Its like sony's just picking up ideas.

Ill wait for some more game lineup, though their current lineup is looking pretty good.

it has a touch screen? I just thought it was a touch pad on the rear of the console?

Renesas AG5 Rumoured PlayStation Portable2:
SGX543MP8 (eight cores) 532M poly/s, fill rates in excess of 16Gpixels/sec @400 MHz
or
SGX543MP4 (four cores) 133M poly/s, fill rates in excess of 4Gpixels/sec @200 MHz
gosh, a GPU with 8 or 4 cores!

 

[Paarish]

meh I'll still get 3DS. I'll probably get this as well, just not straight away.

 

[chris888222]

LOL it even has those gyroscopic stuff used in 3DS!

 

[nintendoom]

Doesn't satisfy me at all.. well maybe because i love nintendo but...
It's just too old to play games like that..
3DS still FTW!!

Oh, and the iphone 4, ipod touch 4, most new smartphones.
It's not a copy of the 3DS, for one they must have given developers the devkit months and months ago to come up with those launch games.

4-5 hours battery life and Sony is taking a loss on this.

Couldn't agree more. I did say in my previous post that i'll get both in a years time, but I think by 2012, i'll only have the 3DS.
Seeing how Sony loves to bring out 1k,2ks etc. I'll buy the PSP2 Slim n Lite lol.

It is not even in 3D!! Plus it only has one (but LARGE) screen!
Pretty disappointing, if it has 3G on I bet it will be worse.

What's the difference between slim and lite version of the psp?

I never had one and I guess never will have one because i had a DS and will have a 3ds

 

[EJames2100]

Holy Cow

ARM processors, isn't that what Nintendo uses ? If so wouldn't the architecture make emulating gba/nds even easier/better than the psp did ?

4-5 Hours of Battery hours isn't too bad tbh, especially seeing what it can offer and I like to have a spare battery anyways, as long as it's as easy to replace as the psp's.

Oy vey.....I gotta say, as a Neutral aligned gamer, The competition is seeming to get dull.

"My portable has a Gyroscope"
"So does mine, huurr"

I mean com'on. Gaming used to be about who your favorite mascot was, not what gimmick "your company" put into their newest system.
I gotta hand it to the Big Sony though, they sure do know how to pack as much useless crap into a console as possible. GPS? What the hell do I need GPS for in a Console. It's not a friggin tom-tom.

And just so it doesn't seem like I'm bashing Sony alone, allow me to say this; the 3DS is just as gimmicky as the NGP. Glasses-less 3D is gonna be the norm in about 10-15 years tops. Mark my words on it. The only reason it's so appealing now is its "New and fresh".

But based on my two console choices, would I rather pay 250 dollars for a handheld that's gonna have Wifi, great 3rd party support, and pretty much everything else the NGP has minus badass graphics and a second analog stick, or would I rather pay, what I'm guesstimating at, at least 350-400 dollars for a system that, in my honest opinion, is just gonna see the same fate as it's predecessor? The choice is obvious.

tl;dr - Consoles now-a-days are ridiculous, and relay too much on gimmicks to be their selling point, instead of which companies are backing which systems. /endrant

And i guess you'll never have a chance to turn the 3G off because..
Sony wants to stop piracy on their upgraded DSNGP, and i think its one way of downloading updates to the system..
