| 2. 3D gaming and the PlayStation Phone |
| 3. Skype and manufacturing |
We've read the specs, we've seen the demos, we've heard what people in the industry had to say about it. But one thing that Sony still hasn't revealed is the price tag on the Next Generation Portable. Kotaku follows up with Sony Worldwide Studios chief Shuhei Yoshida for answers.
"We are not talking about price yet," Yoshida said. "but I hope that when we announce the price, people will say it makes sense."
When that time is, exactly, no one knows just yet. Yoshida did comment on the 3DS' US$ 250 price, which he thinks is, "pricier than what Nintendo typically launched their hardware for." Pricey, but he noted it was "pretty interesting" and that it feels like a more powerful DS.
Clearly, Yoshida's being very careful so as not to provide the slightest hint about the NGP price. But there are other things he was more willing to talk about.

is it still too early to think about homebrew?

Everyone that uses homebrew, use it as an excuse because "it gives more liberty" and blabla, but the truth is that they're just playing pirated games on the system.
That's not what homebrew is about!

Phone people?
I'm thinking it may be best to smother that kid in the crib.

Based on that, I'd say it's gonna be a little expensive. Possibly $350 or more.

Yeah, 3DS is a more powerful DS, that's all to it.
NGP is a total different story, which 3DS won't even be able to compete with it because it's much more powerful than 3DS, and the launch game titles are awesome!
Which about 3DS launch titles I found them rather boring.
I'll be expecting it to reach 300$ to 350$ at max.

There's a lot of powerful as well as some excessive tech in this device, and given the launch cost of the PS3, I wouldn't expect it to be any less than $350.

The high initial pricing of the PS3 is the primary reason it took so long to be widely adopted.

This isn't Sony's first time to the rodeo!
They know the difference between a marketable price and not.

Maybe holding your breath might expedite the process.

IMO 3DS has just jumped into psp level in hardware(graphi cs), while NGP went up by a lvls. To show MGS4 at it with that quality is impressive.
We do not need 3D on NGP, Wifi+3D would do, and I hope for bluetooth as well.
This is without doubt the successor of the psp

So yeah, NGP is in a whole other level which 3DS can't even top, but it's NGP's rival so it'll have to do.

Unless they only let it play Android games via Playstation Suite. But I think that's unlikely.
