New handheld game platform "Next generation portable (NGP)" of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) is put on the market at the end of the year as a succession machine of "PSP" put on the market in December, 2004 .
Is there a good chance to win in intense "Handheld game platform competition" with new handheld game platform "NINTENDO 3DS" of Nintendo? The performance and the problem of NGP are …….
In symposium for media on the 27th "PlayStation meeting", the function that NGP is first enhanced was paid to attention.
･Five-inch organic EL display is a resolution four times PSP.
･Equipped with giro sensor that detects inclination of equipment
･Touch panel equipment familiar in DS and iPhone
･Correspondence to cellular phone line (3G)
･Two cameras are installed.
The cost is high, and, naturally, it influences the price in case of so much high performance.
However, because "NINTENDO 3DS" is put on the market for 25,000 yen, Toshikazu Kobayashi of used game shop "Trader" of Akihabara,Tokyo expects "It is likely not to become a too high price from the reflection on PS3 by which the height of the price becomes the problem of the spread. Less than 30,000 yen is a very limit line."
In addition, the kiyoshi Shin, a lecturer of the Ritsumeikan University image faculty says, "How does the communication expense of 3G become it though the main body is also so?" in detail to the game circumstances though it is a noteworthy point of NGP for first 3G in the game machine.
The communication expense of present PSP is free because of the Wi-Fi communication. The load of the communication expense seems to influence because there is a lot of software that is basic online play such as smash hit game "Monster hunter portable 3rd" of PSP, and are a lot of users of the high school student, too.
However, the expectation of the market for the handheld game platform competition after an interval of seven years of 3DS and NGP is high.
