Again Sony did what they could to differentiate themselves from the competition delivering a high-tech handheld with lots of possibilities - if people perceive it's value and Sony releases the right games, people won't be bothered by the price. Look at Apple damn it.

For those who said "Sony didn't learn anything" - and how would they learn in your opinion? Releasing a mildly stronger but cheaper console months after the 3DS? What's the chance of such device attract any atention by any means?

That's what Nintendo tried with the Gamecube - moderately stronger, $199 - and it died a screaming death (even though I love it <3)

At leas they made money of the GC from day one. How did the PSP differentiate itself from a regular console? What did it do different to improve on gameing other than graphics? I do not know all about it so tell me what that was?


They didnt :P

any source to back up what you said? 

This is the best i could find, seeing as GameCube is almost 9 year old console

i stand by what i said before. this was later in the GCs life not at launch which i know already :P

They never release a console that will not make them profit from day one. 


Actually they did sell the GameCube at a small loss at launch

To the people bitchin about over priced.

Could you post all the parts individually and how much they cost to see the total?

How can we price the quad core ARM 9 when it doesn't exist? *starts his delorean*


Be creative we know all the other parts don't we? I don't need an exact number.

All the high end smart phones are around $600 retail. You can start from there I guess.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

The PSP2 is not a phone, the PSP Phone is a phone.

When the PSP released in 2004 it had high specs and was better then most phones and yet it was 200 bucks, so I wouldn't be shocked to see the PSP2 at $300 with those specs.

It's a different market now. Mobile phone development is probably getting 10x the R&D money it did 5 years ago. In 2004, smart phones were a joke. They were just plain crapola. The iPhone changed everything. The tech industry used to revolve around PCs, now it revolves around mobile development.

Like I said before, if Sony could do things so much cheaper, why aren't they already doing it already?

Sounds about right, PSP2 should be similar to the PS3 in the same way as the PSP was similar to the PS2.

But power was never the issue with the PSP, the games were the issue, so hopefully Sony has that sorted this time around.


Exactly this. What's point of all this power if there aren't any games to utilize it?

Personally, I'm much more interested in hearing about what the launch titles are going to be.

With dual analogue its not a problem anymore though. Being similar will actually be a good thing as third party developers will want to port their home console games on it.

One function that might be a trump card is full PS3 remote control through 3G or Wi-Fi. Including playing games on your PSP2 that are streamed from your PS3. In any case, 3G remote control, including streaming games or not, will be quite awesome honestly.

But by the looks of things the PSP2 is looking like an end of 2011 launch, obviously can effect the price a lot in a year, not to mention Sony will likely sell at a loss anyway.

It is possible for Sony to produce a system like this that would sell for $300, but it probably couldn't be released until late 2012; and leaving the successor to the market leading console for 18 months to build a userbase, develop a large library, and to reduce costs to a level where they can (significantly) undercut your price would be dramatically worse than releasing a $400 portable.

The dev kits were only handed out late fall, you think there going to make a PSP2 (supposely HD) game in less then a year? I doubt it, I see the PSP2 releasing during the fall - holidays of 2011.

Well if it's that long to relase, CES 2012 will be right around the corner and the next generation of technology could make it look like yesterday's device before the thing even gets off the ground.

Sony needs to find a blue ocean, not sail straight into a red one.
