I admit my points in the OP are mostly wishful thinking but i dont agree with people saying 3ds has an amazing launch line up. Most of the games on the 3ds launch are just remakes. So for sony to have an amazing launch line up they need to just to remake games from ps2 and they will suddenly have "the best launch of all time?"
Anyways all I am trying to say here is that sony has an opportunity to take control of the handheld console market. It wasn't "magic" that made PS1 beat nintendo 64 and PS2 over dreamcast. From my understanding the PS2 tech wise was probably the most advanced console at the time even better than pc games for a year or two. Yet they still managed to make the PS2 cheaper than the dreamcast.
The same scenario can be applied to this. I think sony is aware that it has tough competition witht he ipod, 3ds, etc. And I really dont think they would charge more than $300 for a device that has less features.
