NGP (Next Generation Portable) Launching Date, Price, Selling Method and Official Name etc.

NGP (Next Generation Portable) Launching Date, Price, Selling Method and Official Name etc.
Today I would like to talk about NGP (Next Generation Portable), i.e. the official PSP2, focus on aspect not mentioned in "NGP (Next Generation Portable) = PSP2 Announced".
What's interesting then?
Firstly, the comment of 3rd parties.
As for Japanese markers, SEGA, Konami, Capcom and Koei had gave messages.
BANDAI NAMCO and SQUARE ENIX are shuted out.
Don't say that...
Sony Computer Entertainment just took a good step in response to the irresponibility of the 2 companies. Namco was deeply involved from PlayStation, so you can realize these 2 companies are not welcome by the industry now. Well, that's the CEO who are bad, so the staff are just innocent.
At the announcement of PSP, Kazuo Hirai had played RIDGE RACER.
RIDGE RACER is already history. The brand has no value now.
Anyway, how about the price and launching date? There is no info yet.
It ought to be lower than 30,000Yen.
Is it possible for such high-spec?
They need to do that. Game is for secondary school teenages, the price can't be too high in order to attract them. PS3 was to expensive and the result is bad. They should have learned a lesson.
Huh.
And this time they may sell the console through cellphone provider. Provide package with console and 3G Internet service, with a console price around 10,000 to 20,000Yen, and recover the cost through monthly charge. The method of cellphone.
So not only the price but selling method matters too.
Just imagine the 2 selling ways of iPad. You can buy at SoftBank with 3G package or just buy a machine at other stores.
How about the launching date? They stated to be the holiday season.
Concerning the Year-end sales war, should be around late November. Before Thanksgiving if we look into North America, so it may be out early Nov. Dec 3 is also possible, as a memorial of the past console. This year's Dec 3 is Saturday, quite effective in Japan, but I hope they concentrate on Thanksgiving.
How about the official name? NGP seems to be a codename.
Should change.
Really?
NGP is just the name of an ancient portable console.
Neo Geo Pocket huh...
Or a P which got NG. Not a good impression huh.
"No Good Portable" maybe.
So, what name is suitable?
Any idea?
PSW sounds good.
PSW?
PlayStation World. Originally mentioned by Ken Kutaragi. Quite match the impressive of NGP. Anyway let's wait for E3 2011.
