NGP to be less ‘investment heavy,’ more ‘affordable’

After years of waste in a PS3 division, it’s no warn which Sony’s not attempting a mercantile encore. Just a opposite, in fact. Massaru Kato, Sony’s Chief Financial Officer, settled not long ago which a arriving NGP handheld won’t be as “investment heavy” as prior platforms. What does this mean? Sony substantially won’t flow money in to building latest semiconductors only for a latest handheld, as well as will instead opt to set up NGP hardware with off-the-shelf as well as straightforwardly accessible components. This could interpret to rival pricing contra Nintendo’s 3DS (we hope), though it’s all still upon a pricing front during Sony HQ. That’s probable to shift during E3 subsequent week, though in any case we’d rsther than not have to wait for 4 years only to listen to Yoshida’s great headlines again.
