Little over two years. Sounds like it's about to get a lower price tag to me. Especially since they've probably been creating revisions to lower costs( and help nullify that piracy bullet point many love to throw out). Only a $20 price drop puts it at some nice numbers.

 

It would certainly be a good idea, but unfortunately, I don't think it's happening.

 

From the Gamespot interview:

 

"GS: So is the PSP's increasing market share one of the reasons behind last month's flurry of PSP software announcements?

JK: Well, it's certainly related to this announcement. Corporately from a financial standpoint, the PSP has been a high-growth, high-margin product for us. It has, as I mentioned, allowed the PS2 price to drop, and we've had some flexibility."

 

Unfortunately, they're using PSP's good sales to finance a PS2 price-drop - which is completely useless since PS2 is 9 years old, and more or less dead.

 

What waste!  They could really be doing something in the portable arena.  Well I suppose great and numerous software coupled with another hardware revision and colors may be able to add 10% over last years total.
