I can't imagine it selling for any less than $349 with what's under the hood, the OLED multitouch, etc.

If it retails for $299, I'll be beyond surprised... but pleasantly surprised.


Well Sony has stated that they will be selling the NGP at a loss, so maybe a $299 NGP isn't really that far out of the picture.

 

It's good that Sony has realized their past arrogance and can't get away with selling a video game system at some outrageous price point. And it's about time they addressed this as well.

True, but it seems to me that $349 would already be selling at a loss.  After all, OLEDs aren't cheap, and this thing is a BEAST in the graphics department.

But I agree, pricing too high is likely suicidal against the 3DS.


Definitely. I think if Sony wants to stay competitive they have to have an NGP model at least $349 like you stated. And even that may be a little too high for an average consumer. Sony is in a very tough spot right now with the pricing of this thing.
