    Honestly I'm going to get the 3DS...

    It just feels more like a portable console to me..

    NGP is like having a PS3 in you pocket, but I dont want a PS3 in my pocket :s

    If I want the PS3 experience, I'll sit on my couch and turn on the TV...

    The NGP will be lucky to sell 20 million units!

    I don't see Black Ops on the NGP. Show me where Activision says that CoD is coming to the NGP (Next Great Potty)

    Activision did say that CoD is coming to the NGP, google it if you dont believe me. I'd get it for you but it's a chore on the iPod.and you're crazy if you dont think it'll reach 20 million sold.

    While according to this intel from Treyarch, CoD is "scheduled" for release to NGP, but Treyarch won't be a part of that release. You can read this intel here.

    I think it was on STP i saw an artice written by John Carmack regarding this debate. He seems to believe the NGP will always be better than the iphone5/6 when they are released. The coding on the iphone is just a pain in the ass. And he believe the NGPs technology will be top notch for years. This isnt my opinion, its his. It was intersting. Check it out.

    Read that myself and I agree with him but for different reasons the main one being physical controls and the battery life. Developers can be brilliant on iphone but they won't be able to get round those two obstacles.

    That being said it's a lot easier to have your ipod on you at a lunchbreak or similar so it's still a useful device. For me the PSP is something I play with at home but ussually lying on my bed or similar.

    I will get a NGP but it won't be my mp3 player and I probably won't be carrying it about much.
