Pachter time! Bias against 3DS?

One more thought ...

If the PSP-Phone is built on the PSP2 it will (almost certainly) be significantly more expensive than the 3DS which would make Pachter's argument pointless; and if the PSP-Phone is built on the PSP I expect most youngsters would rather have a 3DS or PSP2 than the PSP-Phone because they will (potentially) be newer cooler products.

Actually if it's a phone it'll probably cost $0

Most people buy phones through subsidies.

Some do, when they don’t (currently) have a contract, or if they can significantly extend their current contract, and if they’re willing to maintain the monthly fee associated with the contract. While Canada has awful plans, locally you can get a smart phone for cheap with a contract that is only $60 to $100 a month for 3 years ...

I can't speak for most people being that I still have my Motorola RZR, but I would hardly classify any device that I get for free after I agree to pay $2100 as being in the same price range as a $250 device ...
