But couldn't they have tested the market with a more affordable price, something like "will people buy a download only PSP for 150$-180$?". Besides the size and portability Sony didn't really gave a reason to buy the PSP Go but actually gave many reasons to not buy it (price, poor support, incompatibility).

True, true they should have done.

I just hope they never, ever ever... EVER make a DD only device ever again.

i don't think its up to SCEA to decide, its SCEJ's move, so if its sells in japan its good for them.


It doesn't make sense SCEj decides everything especially since NA and Europe have a much larger market.

SONY IS A JAPANESE COMPANY dude there for all decisions are made in Tokyo.

I know they are a Japanese Company. but they need to realize that their products sell a lot better in other countries. Ps3 sells lik 17k weekly in japn? well in europe and U.S. it sells 60k weekly each. They need to realize that the money is not in japan but in the U.S. and europe.

SCE will; eventually everyone will.

The PSP Go was just a little too early and a little too expensive.

But, as it was mentioned, the PSP Go was SCE's market test for DD only devices, and was sold at a pretty decent profit for both the hardware (a 2005 chipset with less than $30 worth of NAND memory) and the software (considering new games cost the same $40 as UMD retail copies).

Mobile smart phones, Android based phones, iPodTouch/iPhone have already proven that DD only devices work successfully even if they don't offer ideal platforms for core gaming. Of course non of those platforms have $40 games either (or big games that approach the 1GB mark, much less crack that).

I can see them going for $300, but anything higher just seems insane for a handheld.

PS4 will be $299

PSP2 will be $50 less than the 3DS

 

Those are my bets!

PS4 will be priced at $450 or $500, keep in mind that all Sony needs is a small upgrade from the PS3 and few new parts other than a CPU and graphics chip.    

 

The PSP2?   If it really is a phone/psp hybrid then I'd imagine that it would be priced at around $300-$400 without buying into a phone plan like a lot of smart phones are these days

SONY is not going to use a RSX based on a NVIDIA G70/G71 chip from 2005 in the PS4. SONY will have a brand new GPU PS4 is not the WII 2.0 LOL.

Someone else before me posted this link and I've watched it a few weeks ago I think and know what its about... and thought it was worth reposting the link.... I personally think Sony did not learn his lesson... history shows Sony's way of doing things... and I think they will probably do things the same way again.... last I heard was that Sony is planning to launch the next console a year later like the PS3... AGAIN.



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

That was me who posted the link but I wish I would use the embeded code though and not a link.
