@ arius, 3 and we don't know how much this will cost them
The main way to make up for this is to make the go so expensive, Pachter thinks it actually costs less than the 3000 which is apparently profitable already, so they will be making tons if the go does sell well. Anyway, with GT 5 round the corner (hopefully) that will certainly recoup some costs.
Ultimately, we don't know how much the slim costs to make, but we will probably know in a few weeks |
Wrong. The reason PSP Go! is so expensive is because Sony would be taking game sales away from retailer... Why would retailers want to carry a Go then? So to give retailers an incentive to carry the go they are giving them much more money per unit sold. If I were Sony the way I'd figure how much I'd give retailer is pretty much find the attach ratio of PSP and give them the cut of how many games sales theyd on average sell... maybe a little less than average.

That too, but Sony certainly get more profit from the go

Are you sure about that? Think about it. If Sony gives them about 5 games worth of lost sales then thats about 50 - 60 dollars. Then the cut they'd normally get for selling a console which is about 20%. which would be like another 40 dollars. Then the more expensive parts.

If they don't get more from the hardware, they certainly get more from the software for obvious reasons
