edit: remember, this isn't a new platform launch. this is just an alternative to the psp and a nice experiment for sony on digital distribution. this is not a dslite, this is not a dsi. the dslite was the psp2000 and the dsi is the 3000. this is just another venue for sony to make money. its designed to be pure profit.

You are all forgetting the money earned on games, periferals(they're all proprietary) and the like.

I expect psp to be hugely profitable for sony while the ps3 continues to rise.

I did get GTP on umd though and a new 3000 as well. I just want my favorite games in disc format.

spent 400$ on the go though in games :)

Kinda hard to use that "not a new platform launch" idea, when the PS3 Slim wasn't a new platform either.  The PSP Go is a completely re-design platform, and it cost quite a bit of mullah to get launched...considering the current state of Sony's finances, they need these things to move...PSP and PS2 have been covering for the lags in PS3 financial performance.

since when did they need it to move? The ps3 is in no way shape or form any less profitable for sony than the 360 is for microsoft. I think in total the 360 lost more money than the ps3, the media just bends this stuff. MS has been loosing 1.5b+/year for like 5 years now.
