For portables, it's a lot more reasonable to upgrade. PSP is a lot cheaper to upgrade. Also, portables go through a fair amount of abuse, so they degrade over time as well. I think existing owners are more open to upgrade a portable unit.

A home unit OTOH does not go through the same abuse. In addition, someone who spends $400-500 on something expects it to last a long time. That is a heck of a lot of money just to save a bit of shelf space.

So while it a slim version might be successful at getting new buyers to commit, I don't see quite the demand from existing owners that a portable might receive.
