Sony's New Playstation $250?

[megasdkirby]

Is nobody else frustrated that we're having yet another total sales = biggest penis discussion over Sony & Nintendo handhelds?

Nah, it's a useless fight since mine is bigger.

Isn't this community supposed to be enthusiasts that could give a lesser crap about sales?

You are right, though seeing how the internet is (and the people that use it), it's like a futile attempt to express one's own fanboyism, located deep inside the dark depths of a persons heart. Plus, it's fun to see such useless debacles...at least for me, it provides hours of fun observing silly fights online.

All I know is that I'll be getting a 3DS and an NGP and regardless of which outsells which I'm quite certain that I'll find plenty to enjoy on both.

QFT. I personally will wait for a price drop or to see each console's library. Plus, my money is all tied up on a damn iPad 2 at the moment. *shakes fist as Apple for ignoring PR*

While that may be true, I still can't help but be frustrated every time one of these discussions degenerates into who will outsell who.

I had a lot of fun with my various psps, and if Sony sells this new portable at 250 for the non-3g version the it will definitely help my wallet out a bit on launch.

I don't care who sells more, I care about having fun gaming experiences. The original PSP delivered on that for me so this is a day one purchase for me.

If it can come in at 250 for the non-3G version.... tempting. Very very tempting. But I kinda want an ipad lol. Decisions decisions.

NGP is going to lose to backwards compatibility. Could be a good system as well, and perhaps even better than the PSP. For all it's failings Sony stuck it out. Impressive on it's own.

NGP is going to lose to backwards compatibility.

For UMD discs, but not digital PSP downloads.

PS1 and PSP games purchased on the PSN will work on the NGP and you won't have to re-purchase.

Unless you mean "lose" in terms of a NGP vs. 3DS backwards compatibility contest. In which case, 3DS does have the benefit of working with existing game cartridges.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Both of those is precisely what I meant. They are going to lose the UMD side and Nintendo has an advantage there to press. If the NGP has trouble getting out there, with a price parity or that near to one, it's going to be because of the PSP and DS.
