^Its not meant to generate and gain new consumers. Hence the price point. The price point is for the hardcore crowd to purchase it and give feedback on it. So that if they make a PSP 2 or another revision then they know what to add. Not a single casual owner in there right mind would purchase a PSP Go over a PSP 2000 or 3000. Think logically when you are thinking what Sony is doing because its well obvious.

Most see it as a new SKU trying to phase out the PSP 3000. Its motive is not to do that. Its motive is what I explained above in my post.

Yep exactly, and I also want to add that one of the biggest complain for the hardcore PSP gamer was his size. Also keeping in mind that the PSP is an awesome multimedia player (like Zune, Ipod) I dont really understand why peoples are complaining that much about the price. Why compare it to the PS3? It needs to be compare with other portable multimedia device. Its a much better buy than an Ipod :P, it plays video and music on an awesome screen, files are easy to copies to friends and on computer, its sleek, and as a bonus it plays all PSP games ;).

Analogy:

Sept 09: Sony launch the PS3Slim at a higher price than the original, with no blu-ray but with a 500gb HDD. You have to buy download-only games and movies....

Anyone interested?

The psp go has the same pricetag as the launch playstation portable.

So, anyone interested in a $500 PS3Slim that was described as above?

Being half the size of the original is a very good feature for the PSP while it is not for the PS3. You carry your PSP everywhere and if you want to use it as a MP3 player and do some jogging... well good luck. So surely theres no point in paying 500$ vs 300$ for a PS3slim while theres is a big reason to pay a PSPGo 249$ instead of 179$.

Every unit sold should make a nice profit though. To counteract the PS3 Price cut

I was talking of the normal PSP, which the biggest problem for hardcore PSP gamer is his size. Just wanted to reinforce your opinion.

I understand but I was laughing at the fact you said "his size". I think you meant "the size"

i think the only reason it failed it because it was sold along a PSP 3000.
and the exchange program didn't fly off.

also our networks are not ready for full digital yet.

until we all have 10mbps, for cheap i dont see it take it off.
in japan they 1gb! yet, not many people use it.
