Things Sony can do to make NGP more appealing...

Sony has already introduced great hardware and some great games, but here's something I think Sony should do to make the NGP (Nintendo Got Pwned) more appealing. I think they should get Google or Mozilla to make a really great web browser (with Flash support, etc.). It has 3G connectivity along with a terrefic proccessor and a touch screen and a touch pad on the back, six-axis motion-sensing capabilities, and on of top that, it has buttons! Add app support for things like Netflix, more minis (games like Angry Birds), apps that make use of the hardware (camera related, motion sensing related, and touch screen related), definitely a Facebook/YouTube app, a slick MP3 player, also, as stupid as this sounds, Sony has to make sure that Activision makes that CoD game GOOD with great multi player component and have the game available at launch. And for once Sony has to have a great marketing campaign before and after launch. What do you guys think?

As long as they implement a feature that allows people to compare PS3 and PSP trophies from either the PSP or PS3 then I'll be more than happy. The product appeals to me already in so many ways.MushroomWig

I think they might already be doing that. There was a trophy icon on the 'LiveArea' screen, so it makes sense that they would make it compatible since NGP users will be (most likely) connected to PSN as well

change those kiddy circle icons into hexagonsto give it a cutting edge sleek interface look ala wipeout

• More open platform; allow some unofficially developed apps and games (aka "homebrew") on the NGP, and I don't mean ISOs, kinda more like the apple app store.
• And I like the Firefox idea.
• Touchscreen keyboard; they better have this.
• Put their main franchise developers onto developing additions to their franchise instead of other companies, such as an Insomniac-developed Ratchet n Clank or Resistance
• Oh and let us hook PS3 controllers to the NGP and the NGP to our TVs

There's a great (90-99.99%) chance this will happen since NGP has Bluetooth as well and I think the PSPgo was able to this as well.

I like the idea of Google making a version of Chrome for the device, it could happen, since they have some kind of partnership with Google for their android platform. And more minis? No, just no. Not angry birds, please. How many more overrated flash-quality games do people need to play before they realize how stupid they are? I'm not against minis, there are some nice ones, but when you say more games like angry birds, it makes me want to pass off the system as another iPhone clone. We want real games, games like Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Wipeout, Final Fantasy, RPGs...Granpire

Lol I understand you don't like minis, but those kinds of little games can attract people who don't play games often and for whom it doesn't justify the $50-$60 price tag for the little amounts of games they play. BTW I only said Angry Birds since it's the most well known and as an example.

The easy answer is PRICE. But to really answer your question with something more like software or hardware wise, it would have to be an apps store like that of apple

The product just has to have high appeal. Look at the iPad, it can't do things that laptops half the iPad's price can do, but people still buy it because it appeals to them.

• Like many others have said, keep it to a reasonable price -- $250 - 300 MAX.
• Like Mr_Alexander said, have Bluetooth capability, allowing us to connect PS3 controllers to the device.
• Let us use the NGP as a controller for PS3 games. The thought of being able to do inventory on the NGP tough-screen while playing the RPG on the TV would be utterly awesome. I'm thinking Demon's Souls right now.
• Clean, user-friendly interface.
• Honestly, Sony, keep the "Playstation" logo on the front of the device . . . and that's it. Clean, unobtrusive lines are underestimated.
• Come with a decent carrying case.
• Cross-platform multiplayer between NGP and PS3 (dare I say PC, too?)

The spec sheet for this device is already incredibly impressive. If they have the above features, though, it will become a must-buy. (Honestly, if they don't have the NGP-to-PS3 connectivity, I won't be disappointed; that was asking above and beyond.)
