If you're buying this for emulation, you can get similar handhelds for a half of that price. The ones I mentioned earlier can cost as little as $50~$60. And you get built-in video and audio playback in all possible formats. Saw one with a camera and a touch-screen just the other day, and it was less than $60.

That's probably the main reason people will buy it, even though all SNK did was give the OK to make it and from what I understand, wasn't involved in the process.
Back when NGP came out, you didn't really have that many handhelds to choose from. Still, Game Boy alone created enough competition and made SNK question their handheld endeavor. In fact, it wasn't until the PSP that someone managed to take a share of the market away from Nintendo. It's sad, really, especially when you think about platforms like the GP32, which could do so much back then, but even that wasn't enough.
That's why I think the Neo Geo X will be just another handheld emulator, only more expensive. I'm still curious about what other games they might be releasing for it, though.
