The day we announced the Next Generation Portable, or NGP, was quite an eventful one. You might have followed the live blog, read the message on the Blog from SCEA CEO Jack Tretton, seen the topics trending on Twitter (6 out of 10 worldwide at one point!), or read the hands-on impressions.
At the very end of the day, I had a chance to catch up with Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. While I knew I’d be unable to gather any more details than what was announced earlier in the day, I was curious about the broader aspects of the news: Why announce NGP now? Where does it fit into the PlayStation console life cycle philosophy? How did publishing partners like **** Games and Activision get involved in the announcement? I hope you enjoy hearing these answers in detail directly from Mr. Hirai.Comment

Re: PSP2 Information
True, but one take is Nintendo would just lower their price, because they have markups like that of Apple, and allow themselves that "wiggle room".
Not to mention Nintendo did not release the price even after all their show offs until not too long ago.
Besides, that **** dont cost a dollar!Last edited by EnigmaNemesis; 02-02-2011, 07:22 PM.Ⓥ Boston Red Sox | Miami DolphinsComment

Re: PSP2 Information
I don't know about you guys but news like this makes me very happy.
Sony suspends PS4 plans for the time being to focus on NGP.
2 things come to mind.
1. I'm not ready for the PS4 anyway. I'm loving my PS3
and everything it does right now. MLB.TV/Netflix/Movies/Games. I'm just hitting my stride with it.
2. The PSP would have been more successful had it had more support from sony. As it was though the major focus was the PS3 and therefore the psp got lost in the shuffle. There were a few terrible years for the psp where no games were coming or even worth getting. With full total focus by sony on the NGP the possibilites could be endless.Originally posted by Anthony BourdainComment

I literally dread the day we start seeing new console talk right now. I would be just fine with my PS3 through 2015/2016, especially if Sony can take full advantage of PS3/PSP2 interconnectivity.Comment

Re: PSP2 Information
I think Sony has learned from their pricing mistake when the PS3 first launched. They realized how much better it sold when they finally dropped the price to $299 with the release of the Slim so I guess they decided to not make the same mistake twice.Originally posted by bradtxmale

Re: PSP2 Information
Actually, since I have the wireless hotspot for my android phone, I don't even NEED the 3G NGP model to connect anywhere. Just give me the wi-fi model, turn on the phone's hotspot, and win (and save $100 if that price is to be believed).Comment
