The PSP is the 7th most popular system ever made.
The NGP, as its successor, is possibly launching at the same price $249.99 as the first psp.
Nintendo's competing product is at price parity this time rather than $100 less; and, aside from 3D it certainly offers less hardware for the same price.
Considering the enthusiasm the developers have for the NGP (for its potential for a unique handheld experience and easy of making games for it), it is certainly going to have a larger and more diverse game library than the original PSP.
There is no way, within logic or reason, the NGP would not outsell the original PSP.

However, if they price it at 250 do you think they are selling each system at a loss? Sony really needs to wake up and learn to not sell systems at a loss. That model only works sometimes (mainly when own 60-80% of the market). If they continue to keep releasing systems at a loss in the hopes of making it up over time they are setting themselves up to lose countless billions.

Dont forget that in PS3s case, the heavy losses was mainly to push blu ray. A risky strategy, I agree, but it wasnt solely on the thought they could earn it all back with their gaming division.
