<p>…aka the Xperia Play.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard of this phone? I think it is going to be beyond AWESOME! Definitely an iphone killer. :D</p>

<p>What do you think about it?</p>

<p>[PS</a> If you don’t know what it is Google or click here](<a href=“http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20030806-251.html]PS”>http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20030806-251.html)</p>

<p>Its been in the news for years man… Get up to date. And the NGP. Quad core CPU and GPU. Damn</p>

3

<p>But its official now!</p>

4

<p>As much as I love the commercial, I think it’s going to flop.</p>

5

<p>^Why do you think that?</p>

6

<p>I dunno, intuition?</p>

<p>People have been trying to combine phones and gaming devices for years now. It hasn’t really worked out well yet, and I don’t suspect it will this time either.</p>

<p>On top of that, the PSP just doesn’t have the same reputation as the iPod.</p>

7

<p>It worked for iphone why not this?</p>

8

<p>But the iPhone is not a gaming device. It’s meant as a dual mp3/phone device.</p>

9

<p>NGP will be a lot better</p>

10

<p>^NGP? What?</p>

11

<p>^NGP is the codename for the PSP2.</p>

<p>The Google phone and most of the Android smartphones were all supposed to be “iPhone killers”. Here were are, in 2011, and the iPhone is still on top. This device will be no different.</p>

<p>Also, 3DS>No Games Portable</p>

12

<p>Why don;t you jus say psp2 then? I heard about it, but I never really read anything about it. What’s the big difference?</p>

<p>Also what about the 3DS? I think that is going to be awesome! But also super expensive!</p>

13

<p>Sony refers to it as the Next Generation Portable, or NGP. It’s supposed to have the processing power of the PS3, along with a ton of other interesting applications. The downside is that it’ll probably cost around 300-400 dollars. The 3DS is self-explanatory, and will cost 250 at launch.</p>

<p>The NGP will be overhyped and overrated with it’s lofty ambitions, but still be outclassed by the 3DS.</p>

14

<p>3DS will be sexy.</p>

15

<p>Okay so so far on my dream list is:</p>

<p>Things to buy:[ul]
[<em>]Xperia Play
[</em>]NGP
[*]3DS[/ul]</p>

16

<p>I disagree… Quad Core GPU and CPU > Gimmicky 3D.</p>

17

<p>DANG!!! I am going to need alot of money</p>

18

<p>I think the Xperia Play is going to flop. Most people play casual games like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Scramble, Doodle Jump, and Bejeweled on their iPhone or Android phone. Not many people play the FPS games. It’s just a small niche. So I think that the gaming nature of the Xperia Play isn’t going to sell.</p>

<p>However I think that the NGP is going to ROCKK. This is the true gaming portable device. It’s only competition is the DS, and it’s going to appeal to teenagers more. DS= casual gamer. NGP= teenage/young adult men</p>

<p>Typical Sonybro response. Just you wait, the NGP will be good, but nowhere near as good as it’s being hyped up to be. And the 3DS will vastly outsell it, because it fits a wider demographic. The NGP will appeal mostly to teenage/young adult males, along with the neckbeards of /v/.</p>

<p>Call 3D a gimmick if you will, but most of Nintendo’s “gimmicks” thus far have proven remarkably successful, and other companies follow their lead. Sony Move and Xbox Kinect were straight up repackagings of the Wii’s “gimmicky” motion technology.</p>

<p>If anyone can screw up a concept, it’s Sony. It will flop.</p>
