@Reasonable: Go is likely a very high profit product. As i said earier, it seems to be cheaper hardware sold at higher price and the software has huge premium in its price.

Totally agree.  In some ways (unless I'm missing something) the price somewhat surprises me.  I'm sure they could sell it cheaper, and still make a profit.

The only reason I can see is they believe that it wouldn't actually sell much more at a lower price right now, so they might as well lose a few sales but price it for early adopters anyway, then drop the price if they see proper uptake and growth in demand.

This implies to me they feel the potential market for a digital channel only handheld is fairly small, still, compared to the demand for handhelds with physical game purchase.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

i want it but the price is to high and my 2 favourite games aren't available for download (final fantasy crisis core/dissidia) when these two became available i might trade all of my UMD's hopefully the money from them will slash the price enough

I for one understand what Sony is doing with the PSP 3000 and Go.

The 3000 is for the traditional gamer and the Go is for the mainstream cosumer.
If you already have a 1000/2000/3000 PSP then you still have access to the same store that the Go people have access to.

I also heard from at least 2 sites (joystiq and IGN) that people didn't like and weren't going to buy the PSP because it wasn't really "portable".

Having to carry around bigger than cartridge UMD's, short battery, bulky hotdog design.

The Go is targeted to that market. Taking the exsisting PSP experience, but expanding to the people that didn't like the hardware design and UMD uses.

I love you.


I try.

Psp go, the worst move of plastation since releasing the playstation3

poor sony so much money, effort and all... lost u_u

it can do almost everything, for us the ps3 is awesome but for sonyy is starting to become a pain in their a$$es


Really? Releasing the PS3 was a bad decision? Seriously?

Please tell me you know that Sony is giving 2 different types of consumers the same PSP experience. If you don't like the Go don't buy it. Simple enough.

No, adding in the unecesary crap, and relesing at it's launch price was the part that was the bad decision. Anyway, you are completely correct on your second point, If you don't want it, don't buy it, it's not like Sony isn't giving you options.

When the first week data comes out we will see if GO did "flop" or as you say in sales or not...



Predictions

GT5 will sell 3.2million + first week on ps3 (made 06 March 2010)

FFXIII Versus will have higher Metacritic scores than FFXIII after the first month.... Bet going on with perpride - loser changes sig for a month

KH3 will be PS3 EXCLUSIVE - willing to bet removal from vgchartz for a month

The Go is a high profit device by itself. Add to that Playstation Network sales and Sony is going to start printing money again.

With the Go being such a high profit product it allows Sony to make back so much money.
Also everyone is talking about the Go. Which is bringing interest to the overall PSP platform.

Anyway according to VGChartz worldwide numbers the Go sold 80k. Overall the PSP platform sold over 210k.
I think Sony is also making money off of the 3000, I just don't know how much.
