So... the NGP.

<< < (3/3)

Storm Rider:
Exactly. The DS might not be as powerful as the PSP but it has distinct experiences that I don't already get with my home consoles. Stuff like Ghost Trick (for example) wouldn't really work as a full-blown console experience, but they're well suited to being played in short bursts on a smaller screen. For me, most of the stuff on smartphones relies on simple inertia to keep the player's attention, so I still see the value in a dedicated handheld gaming platform. I just think it needs to strike the right balance in the game experiences it offers, and in my opinion Nintendo has been far better about seeking out the sweet spot than Sony.

Plus I would rather play a new Paper Mario than literally any franchise Sony has ever produced.

Ikrik:
Asides from the remakes of n64 games, whatever Atlus publishes, and Professor Layton the 3DS looks rather depressing.  I think one of the major advantages of the DS was the fact that it wasn't graphically powerful, it did a good job of preventing a lot of pre-existing franchises to make a bland game on it.  The PSP didn't have such luck and I think that's one of the reasons it's so lackluster.  Asides from stuff like Patapon and LocoRoco it barely had any franchises that were unique to it.  Another God of War, Resistance, and Killzone? Sigh.  The NGP seems to following in the exact same route as the PSP in that regard.

True story, I'm waiting for the 3DS just because I know its gonna mean a drop in price on the DSi XL. Which I want to buy because I can't justify looking at a tiny tiny screen for any reason anymore because with my ever worsening prescription on my glasses makes it give me a headache to look at small things for extended period of time. Oh yeah and the fact that I have a 42 inch plasma TV with an XBOX 360 as well.

As far as I'm concerned the NGP doesn't even exist yet in my radar. Maybe, just maybe if something actually cool comes out for it and a friend gets one or something, otherwise I'm just gonna save up for a PS3, which are almost affordable now.

Yeah, this is something I am considering.  The gen2 PS3 is actually kinda neat, and there are by now a couple of PS3 exclusives that I would like to play.  I still can't really justify paying however much it is simply to be a secondary console, though.  So I am torn.
