• Big Screen is not enough: Even though Sony NGP is equipped with a large 5-inch screen capable of offering high-resolution graphics are good, that it is still not enough. Because when compared with other popular PS3 games that are played on television, graphics quality will still be noticeably less when it is played on screen 5 inches on the NGP.


• No focus on casual games: Game-selling now mostly come from the game light / semi-casual, which can be played a lot of people. Call it the Angry Birds which sold 50 million copies which means double the total of 15 top PSP games. Sony NGP seen not focused in that direction with a clear focus to meet the needs of game developers that ultimately increases the cost by one game and minimize customer.


• Social and Features on the NGP sites will not be widely used: One of the important features of social networking is the number of people. IPhone and Android applications succeed because it has many applications, Facebook is successful because it has many members. While perhaps not everyone will have a Sony NGP because not a basic need such as mobile phones or easily accessible such as Facebook.


• No change in total and more handsets look the same from the previous PSP: Previous PSP new design benar2 expected to have a fresh, for example, can be folded or the like. But it turns out designs offered are not so different from the first version of the Sony PSP.
