thats what it says $250 and $299? lol yea right

and no not going to click on links. not goign to give people my views

but i'm sorry its impossible to believe that the NGP based on what i have seen that it can be as cheap as $250. What did the PSP's come out as? how much was the PSP Go when released not to long ago? So please tell me then how they can sell this for $250? What are they planning on losing a fortune for each system sold?

So basically what you're saying is that NGP is going to cost more for Sony to manufacture than a PS3 despite having lower specs, significantly less hardware material, and being much smaller and cheaper to ship in mass quantities.

It sounds to me like you simply aren't familiar with how much things cost.

quick though process. the psp go came out what $250?

is that not smaller by a long shot than this? is that not WAY behind in features and graphics and touch screens and you name it?

and that was not too long ago at all. i would laugh my ass off if this came out at $250.

how abotu we also look at sony's track record. Not ONE system has ever came out for less than $300 when first released. With seeing how all tech sites seem to be wanting to throw teh ngp the tech award of the year already, how can you honestly believe that this amazing piece of hardware will be their cheapest system EVER.

 

Oh and lets not ignore Sony as a corporation. EVERY single product they have is the expensive product. They are never the mass market priced. Their TV's, Stereos, you name it are always the upper end priced ones.



Well, considering Sony has already stated they will be taking a loss on the NGP and that their main focus during R&D was to competitively price it with the 3DS, I would say that $250-$280 price estimate is going to be fairly accurate.

How much of a loss they will be taking at that price point is still unknown; my guess is ~$100 loss per unit, but that is just a random guess.
