Tokyo Game Show.


Do they announce Western price cuts at TGS? They could've done it at E3 but didn't. To me it just looks like they're milking th PSP for its high price as much as possible...

No idea really.

It's a big show, and they could announce a WW pricecut if they wanted to.

If it doesn't get a cut, or revision... It's dead. IMO. Sony need to do SOMETHING to try combat 3DS/DS totally trouncing it.

Well, PSP won't be the one to do that...

never know, a price cut did wonders for the ps3


You do have to remember that it wasn't just a price cut. If anything I think xbox360 proves it might have been the relaunch of the brand (aka the model) that sparked growth. 

true, think sony was trying to use the psp go that way?

Well, I believe they did, but they made one mistake. They added a higher price tag, and a huge batch of problems.

that 250.00 was a huge deal breaker, doesn't it cost the same to make as the 3000 model?

Not sure, but it was a deal breaker for a lot of people.

why would they^? they are making zero dollars on software sales due to massive piracy, psp sales are the only thing that´s generating some profit for them and they spent several millions on psp exclusives that wont sell shyte in the west (God of war, mgs5, birth by sleep,etc). so a price cut means bye bye psp and the psp 2 is not ready yet or hopefully it won´t happen.
