Have to admit I find this machine rather intriguing. Ultimately everyone is waiting to hear about the one key bit of information that was not revealed, price. That will probably decide what kind of early success we might see from the machine. Nice specs and I'm sure there will be cool games but given the 3DS is $250 it is likely that this machine will be at minimum $250 to match the 3DS but likely $300+ which is too expensive I think. That is the price of the actual consoles right now. Also playing a factor is the new dual core tablets and phones which will see better games being released and probably suffice for most people who usually only want portable gaming to serve as a distraction. I think Sony will have to be very careful about pricing if they want to see any kind of early success.
