| 1. Kaz Hirai talks about NGP announcement |
| 2. Interview with Kaz Hirai |
Yes, it was a successful PlayStation Meeting 2011 for Sony last month with the announcement of the Next Generation Portable and the PlayStation Suite. You've seen the presentation, you've heard all about the NGP. Now, Sony social media manager, Jeff Rubenstein, goes behind the scenes with CEO Kaz Hirai to talk about the things we didn't see on camera.
When the NGP was announced, it was already backed by several third party developers. Prior to the event, Sony had already been rallying for their support for the new system. Nothing surprising there, but they did manage to get good output, like from Hideo Kojima, who showed Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the portable.
Hirai also talks about the more pressing matters, such as the timing of the announcement and the role it'll play in the PlayStation life cycle. For that, we go to the video.

I have a feeling it will cost the same if not more than the slim ps3. I mean just looking at the specs and their "understandable price" @_@
If its the same as the 3DS, Then I am sold lol

Cause they didn't reach the mass production stage yet. They would have an estimated price from the beginning of the project, but the aim is to go lower than that.
I think the plan is still going on, recently Sony bought back the factory producing 'Cell' microprocessor from Toshiba. To reuse it for mobile chipset production.
It's definitely related to NGP production as it will probably help to lower the cost of production in a way.

1- Gamestop pulled down that already.
Even when it's on, they posted a notice above the price: "official pricing and release dates have not been announced by the publisher."
2- Similar thing happen for 3DS preorders in gamestop where $999 is just a placeholder.
3- In an interview with Shu Yoshida(SCE president of worldwide studio), when asked about the price of NGP and the initial shock at the PlayStation 3 launch price was mentioned for comparison, he laughed and assured , "It's not going to be $599.".
