"I know, let's release a really powerful home console, then a few years later release a portable JUST AS POWERFUL!"
Seriously, if it WAS as powerful as the PS3, why would anyone buy a PS3 again?
Specially if it has TV out, (it has TV out right?)...

Of course it isn't. I personally think graphics have hit their ceiling on portables. With a four inch screen the graphics can look better than they really are. Not that you really need graphics that powerful. If you do want graphics like PS3's you are just asking for horrible battery life, ungodly load times, and even higher prices. Not good for the portable market.
So it's NOT gonna gonna set our pants on fire or melt in our hands ? That's almost a bit disappointing.
Pants fire? I'll wear fireproof clothing. 5 minute battery life? I'll plug in the AC adapter.
DO IT.
DO IT.
The battery would last five minutes at PS3 level graphics.
Therefore it will only last 7.5 minutes at PS2.5 level graphics.
Confirmed.

Confirmed.
Well, it's not going to run at 2GHz because the battery would last five minutes and it would probably set fire to your pants.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID!

Well dah. Anyone who thought it was really a PS3, in a handheld form, was delusional to begin with. Sure its powerful, but its not that powerful. Looking at the tech specs alone proves that, but I get a kick out of how they're blaming the overblown expectation on the gaming press. Sony didn't exactly try to clarify things either, when they debut the system last month in Japan. So its pretty much they're own fault, for claiming that its a PS3-like experience to begin with!
Duuuuh. Not like it needs to be as powerful as PS3 to run at the resolution it does.
@Arrrdawg
3DS is more or less a PSP with better shaders. And I don't think anyone is arguing a PSP is equivalent to a GC.

@Janaf, of course it can run the Unreal engine! Epic all ready did a tech demo of the engine on the NGP, unless you were trying to crack a joke and you all ready knew that; not sure.

@Shoop:
never mind "Arrrdawg" .. he is just trying to fight a misinformation with yet another misinformation..
Check his post about NGP in previous article:
"...The ipad 2 has a better GPU and it is only a single core. "
AS far as I know the GPU in the iPad 2 is not officially confirmed yet ...we only know its nine times the speed as before in iPad 1.
But according to strong rumors it is the "PowerVR SGX543MP2" which is really decent 2 cores GPU with 16 shader cores. here is the performance
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/imagination-technologies-powervr-sgx543mp2-really-is-faster-be/
Actually the NGP is running the same GPU with 4 cores instead (PowerVR SGX543MP4)
3DS gpu uses fixed function shaders (which UE3 doesn't support) but not fragment shaders.This results in less flexibility for the programmers (as you're limited to a number of pre-defined graphical effects), but it also leads to longer battery life. certainly,it needs that for 3D double performance :)

I thought Sony is the one who said its more powerful than PS3.... I am so confused when it comes down to Sony's marketing and all the promises it can't keep in the past.
well im more into the games to be honest.
still he would actually expect NGP to handle PS3 graphics on the go?

Oh no now it will be shit, cuz we all know that games are only good when they have the best gwaphics.... sorry Sony Fanboys... no good games for you now..... waah ha ha hah ha
can the ngp really set your pants on fire. Or is that some kind of exclusive underground secret organization area 51 upgrade or something, cause if it is then that's fine with me, it's a nice way to get rid of your old pair of pants
it is literally unfair to say that a system is as powerful as 'X' when it haset even come out
there still needs to be that piece of software that the same people will say wow this looks better than 'x' almost as good as '*>X'
