That's alright, at least it's still powerful and beneficial then its predecessor. I think the only barrier that's gnnr stop it from making a bomb is the price, can't be too picky... :/

---

The price isn't that steep...but it's the main detractor...
Back on topic...it probably won't hurt the console, as it is already gaining a reputation of being the more powerful handheld in this war.
As for playing UMD, don't count on it. That's one factor that is really turning me off from it...

^Yeah, luckily they came up with the NVG cards (......~glomps~ the hell?) but hopefully its not as annoying as the UMD.

---

Kid hit it on the head...not being able to play the games I own on UMD is a big turn off. At least provide a solution (re-purchasing is not a bloody good solution in my opinion...) to transfer the UMD games into a digital format or something.

Agreeing with all the comments about UMDs. Sony will probably just bury their heads in the sand and ignore the issue though.

Besides, wouldn't it be down to each individual developer to port their games on to PSN (or whatevs)? Tricky situation.

Yea that's exactly it, Sony did say that they were working with publishers to have their games ported to the PSN. But even if they do so I don't think they'll do it for free for those who already own the games

I honestly don't understand why it's such a big deal to have the NGP be compatible with psp UMDs. If they port it to psn, you have no reason to complain. As for having to re-purchase a digital copy of a game that you already own a UMD for, well, why not just put the UMDs into the psp that you already own? You don't have to stop playing your UMDs just because you'd then have an NGP.

If Sony believes a digitally exclusive handheld would work best, then it probably would.

Because I was going to sell my PSP in order to be able to afford the NGP? I think that's fairly common practice to trade in an old console in order to afford the next one.
