Although financially Go can't flop because Sony makes so much money per system. (probably cheaper to manufacture than 3000). Even if they sell under million Go's this year they already make some nice profit (over 70$ per system?)

I thought the high overhead of profit was reserved for the retailers, though. I think the only way this benefits Sony is by eliminating used sales and controlling price points for every Go game sold.

Not at all. Retailers make next to nothing on hardware. From my experience in retail, the store made less than $10 on all hardware.
|
The PSP Go is setup opposite. It has a high overhead for retailer profit in order to get them to actually sell the thing. Retailers make no money off of PSP Go software. This is why the actual Go hardware sells for a decent retail profit when all other hardware does not.

Well, we're seeing PSN vouchers for PSP titles show up in stores now. The new motorstorm is has a download, UMD, and voucher form I believe.
|
I thought perhaps they would do this too, but when you have to get vouchers from Sony, once again they control the pricepoint and it kind of discourages retailers to make those vouchers price competitive with the Sony online PSN price.

Well, every publisher determines the price of the game. It's part of the retail negotiation of what that price is. Bigger publishers can get away with smaller margins for the retailer.
I'm sure the prices are reasonable as retailers are stocking them.
