I think that's the reason the PSP Go is 249. It's manufacturing costs should be lower than the PSP-3000's (if manufactured in the same quantities), but it has to redeem it's R&D costs first. |
Um....the PSP isn't being sold at a loss. They are selling the PSP for the price of the Wii.
PSP at the Wii's price=Fail. As I said, Sony thinks too highly about their products and no better a dick to tell you live and on stage than Kaz Hirai. PSP's right now are selling at $199. So I guess Sony believes they will make more money by dumbing down the product and increasing the price? Um....they aren't Nintendo. Nintendo got away with that long ago, making profit off of a system that only costs $180 dollars to make.
