NGP could be delayed by Japanese earthquake

When your nation is in a nuclear crisis, surely it's best to conserve power for the necessities.

@thewwwyzzerdd : 1) "LOL you site a rumor of ff7 remake as a legitimate win?" err yeah I do O.o . Crisis Core = PSP wins over ds anyday o.o 2) "that it does so poorly when compared to the nds" err no? 3) "psp rarely delivers gameplay experiences that you cannot get on a home console (at least when compared to the ds)." LOL LMAO ROFL You're funny xD pokemon must really be a hardcore game for hardcore gamers xDDDD lolz. Reason = pikachu use your thunderbolt! *Kratos stomps on the rat* . pikachu = ds ; Kratos = psp~ simple as that

@Egotte Yeah i truly wish that Sega would give it another go. Dreamcast 2...I can see it now..

@KingSora1991 Sorry King. Replied a bit too quickly there. I presume that you are therefore advocating a total boycott of Japanese-produced items so as not to put pressure on their manufacturing sector? Or perhaps you're seeking that people don't get excited about anything from Japan, therefore massively undermining commercial confidence and causing further damage to the economy? That'd be a GREAT idea! Just as well you will never amount to anything so you cannot put your gob-smackingly ridiculous ideas into effect anywhere other than the benefits office or McDonalds.

@KingSora1991 I take it that you're realising your own incredible stupidity and ignorance here. Don't worry - I accept your humble and grovelling apology in advance of receiving it since you're clearly too busy posting ill-considered comments :) Wait! Maybe your comments are some of those 'Guy Cocker miscommunicated irony' moments. If so, you're one funny guy, King!

@Bigfatlardygit XD Wow. Real dumb. Don't bother replying back. Not even gonna respond to ur ignorance. Later Big Fat Lard Ass lol

can't wait to see this one in the market :)

@KingSora1991 Eh? Surely buying Japanese products would be a great way to support Japan?

F#ck the NGP! I like sony products but Japan is 10x more important right now. Thumbs up if you think I'm right. Thumbs down if you are some of the people who don't care for Japan and think video games is more important in your boring everyday lives. To the people who thumbs down, you're dumb b@stards. nuff said.

Good news for people wanting NGP, it may not be delayed after all. http://uk.kotaku.com/5789716/oh-so-the-ngp-wont-be-delayed-because-of-japans-earthquake

So glad LUKEMOORES1 wasnt caught up in all that surf!!!....a great gaming youtuber by the way

i don't get all the thumbs down for wishing Japan well. have a heart, thumbs up!

sad to hear it's been delayed as it does like good so far (not too sure about the touch screen though), but i just hope Japan lands back on it's feet soon.

Just what NGP needed: more time before it was released. It'll never catch 3DS at this rate. Poor Japanese people :cry: Stupid earthquake

Im looking forward to the NGP thing. looks loads better than the PSP.

Japan and its people getting back on their feet is the priority. People first. We can wait for them, and help them out as much as we can.

I think Japan is alot more important than the "NGP". Hopefully other people think the same thing. I hope Japan recover very quickly. Prayers are with them :)

This is understandable that NGP could be delayed because of the March 11 earthquake. Japan will need time to get back to normal. So NGP can wait.

you can donate money to the japan relief fund through psn. even if its just a couple of $s you should still do it on an unrelated note. i think that if nintendo cant get some decent core games out soon the 3ds may just be another house wives console leaving the ngp to capitalise on the core gamers market. but thats just imo. hopefully both will do well. you can never have too many consoles :)

Totally understandable.....however it sais delays in some markets....so that prob just means europe sigh.

So is the entire NGP going to be manufactured in Japan, or do they just make the parts and the send them to China for assembly? Be nice if it was 100% made in Japan. Anyway, I just hope they can get back on track for a huge release.

Much ado about nothing. He said it might be delayed in some markets. I'm sure that what production is made will target the 3 big markets on the same schedule that they had before. An article written up only to garner some free publicity and sympathy.

This will just give the 3DS a larger lead. If the NGP doesn't get out before Christmas, it'll be an uphill battle for them, just like the PS3 was.

I'm not surprised ans it can't be helped. I wish for Japan and all its people a speedy recovery and I'm also offer my condolences to all the lives lost in this wonderful country and exceptional people. Ganbatte Nippon.

Totally understandable. Any ***h*le who thinks otherwise is a ****head :D

I support the decision. Japan needs all the help they can. (I already donated money) But this is a vary bad business decision, with the 3DS being out and all.

Japan is much strong. It will get through this bad time and come out stronger still.

check out the games (heart) japan show, i did in the gamespot youtube channel, but it is all over!, i hope TGS does not downsized, and E3 NEEDS THEM, big time!

Land of the rising sun must rise again.

if japan die games will die for me.

Poor Japanese...

@rb89 You said, "At the top is, of course, Activision Blizzard. The difference of opinions is not about software. It is the hardware and online platforms. Please keep on subject." I'm saying your subject about hardware sales is irrelevant. At this point in this generation of consoles race each console has been out for more than 5 years. Therefore each has cemented its position in the market. Now it is all about Software.

@grootelaar I wasn't talking about the earthquake I was talking about them delaying the NGP and yes that earthquake was bad

@LindBergh2007 You said, "Also, I can tell you that Sony won't be in the hardware business much longer anyway. They'll be exiting by 2015" That is where I stopped reading your comment.

I want the ngp so bad but if they are really affected by the earthquake then we will have to wait.

@awheaten If you want to bring software sales into this, then you will find that Sony Computer Entertainment, Nintendo and Microsoft Game Studios are lower on the chart in software sales. At the top is, of course, Activision Blizzard. The difference of opinions is not about software. It is the hardware and online platforms. Please keep on subject.

@shadowhunter0 THAT EARTHQUAKE WAS NEVER GOOD. You know how many people lost there lives lost there family.

I want the NGP, but I'd rather the Japanese people take their time to get over their disasters.

thsi delay is both good and bad it is bad because we have to wait longer but it is good so they can make it better and better launch line and also so that they can get the important stuff done first like taken care of the people and getting japan back up and running also I get more time with my psp go which I just purchase

NeoJ4K3. While that probably wasn't the right time to say that I do agree with you. Also, I can tell you that Sony won't be in the hardware business much longer anyway. They'll be exiting by 2015. SEGA is planning to annouce a bunch of new exciting surprises next month: A new game tablet called: KIDSPAD http://www.trademarkia.com/kidspad-85264286.html And a OEM deal with UK tech giant Imagination Tech for next gen high end ray tracing graphics for thier next arcade board which will have a console : http://www.kaldata.com/comments.php?catid=4&id=55129 Anyway, I still offer my condolances to the Tsunami victims.

I hate delays as much as teaser trailers but this is the most serious thing to delay something because of. I still hope to the best to the Japanese people, hope you get back on your feet and get back to leading the way, your always advancing so quickly it's incredible.

As long as people are able to get their lives back on track after such a tragic event that's all that matters in this sort of a situation.

Easily the most reasonable reason to delay something

@rb89 Sure, Sony is behind the two other companies in sales. But that doesn't mean that they aren't selling well.

@rb89 Its doesn't matter about who sales the most hardware, it is about who sales the most software. In that department Sony, is gaining momentum especially w/ their 1st party games. Will any of the 1st party games sales more than a game like Halo? Why no. That being said, games like Madden, 2K are selling more on the PS3. It will be interesting on how NGP will sell, and if they're going to come out w/ a good game w/ the system.

@OmegaGear You are right about my vocabulary misfire. Sorry. High school english wasn't my strong subject. haha You are also right about Wii hacking and 360 hacking but the difference is that PS3 has become irreversible and has been attacked more than the former two consoles. The problem is that the PS3 is more like a PC than a gaming console and a powerful PC at that. The PSN has had more crashes than Xbox Live. The way things are looking, unless Sony makes some big changes, it will only get worse with more volume.
