Well...I look at this amazing device, NGP, and the closest thing I can see to compare it to are Smart Phones.  Now, MOST unlocked Smartphones go for around $599-$699, so I’m not sure how much cheaper Sony can get than that, and have a sound strategy to breakeven in a reasonable amount of time.  Maybe $499, but any lower than that, and SCE will be DEEP in the red again, which will put them a precarious situation, since M$ and Nintendo are going to be launching new console in the near future (regardless of what they say.)  Have 2 platforms slamming you into the red is probably going to make Sony shareholders scream for austerity quickly!


Really good points!  Competing with the 3DS and expected consumer pricing for handheld gaming is only part of the puzzle.  The other part is surviving as a division.  That's the part that most gamers ignore, unfortunately.
