The main thing Sony needs besides any of the extra gadgets is a Game title that will make people want to buy this system, Like Halo was to Xbox. I saw that a new Tactics Ogre game is coming out for the PSP and it has me thinking about buying one now even after all these years of not owning one.

Convergence. You have to accept it's happening and most of people like it. Almost every portable today has cameras and can play music.

We left all of that behind two handheld generations ago, as they were popularized by the DSi and PSP.

Because a console specializes in gaming.

I don't want that freakin sandwich!
No, it's more like them filling the sandwich maybe a little too far and then taking things out before you're even inside the shop.

I'd love to get an intel on what those features were (the ones dropped during production).
Yeah, I'm curious now too.

Oh the irony.
You'll have to explain that one. The "irony" is lost.

Exactly, you're complaining about a console having too many features. If you don't want to use a camera on it then don't. If you don't want to browse the web on it then don't. I got my PSP and I don't play music on it or watch videos or browse the web. I turn it on and play games. That's about it. And I'm perfectly fine with that. Some people might use it to play music, some might use it to watch videos, but you don't have to.

Because it's better to have and not need than to need and not have? Some games will use the cameras for AR or headtracking, and some games might have the soundtrack encoded in mp3 format. There, an entirely game-related purpose for the cameras and mp3 player. And you don't have to use them if you don't want to, so stop demanding console makers omit them.

Nothing to take note of since they are just dropping features that haven't been revealed.

Those features could have held importance. I would like them to announce the features that they removed.

who would take a photo with a 3DS or NGP in public?
The 3DS has a 3D camera, so why not? Dude, 3D camera! And the NGP should have a camera on par with modern mobile phones, so if you would take a pic with your mobile phone, why not with your console? Or are you just too embarrassed to be seen carrying a console around?
