I can't believe there isn't a thread on this already, please delete this if there is. Anyways, what do you guys think about Sony's upcoming handheld, the NGP? I think it's pretty good, it's going to have to face some fierce competition though. It has a 5-inch multi-touch screen, and PS3-like graphics as well. Here is some more information about the handheld:

Personally, it doesn't do it for me. I think it's a good upgrade, but I don't care for how the thumbsticks are set up (similar to PS3 controller's) and some of the features are slight turn-offs. Nintendo's usually good with handhelds, but I never really cared for the PSP as it is.

I think it's gunna be an amazing little system. I will definitely be getting this when it is out, however, it does depend on if it's gunna be a ridiculous price... which I am kinda afraid it will be if it's close to PS3 graphics. In this case, the smaller the system (physically) the more expensive the item!

It looks pretty sweet to me. I don't really use handhelds much, though (i.e. my DS that I never use)... so I probably won't get it. But it looks nice nevertheless.

Yeah, if it's more expensive than the 3DS, than I probably won't get it.

Same mate, I will just settle with the 3DS and stick with my PC and Xbox for the better graphics :P
Something tells me though, that the NGP is gunna be hella expensive.

I'll probably end up getting it, I've always played my PSP more then I have my DS.

Even if the 3DS does seem appealing.
