$149 PSP coming soon? CNN reports
by Andrew Yoon 
{ Aug 11th 2006 at 4:10PM }
The Sony warehouses are slowly filling up with stockpiles of "finished gaming hardware." Could it be the PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3? P.J. McNealy from American Technology Research thinks it's the PSP. "[The PSP] has lost momentum. Nintendo has had a great run since it launched the DS Lite and Sony needs to regain some ground." Due to the recent sales boost of DS Lite, and the commercial success of major DS software releases, the analyst expects that Sony will drop the price of the PSP to a mere $149, $50 less than what it is right now.According to McNealy, this can give Sony a major advantage. Nintendo is unlikely to drop the DS's price from $129 due to its inability to meet demand. Sony's PSP comes with additional functionality, such as the ability to view movies, that will appear to make it a much greater value to consumers. For the full report, visit CNN.

That really is a much more reasonable price, and about what the system is worth in my opinion.
Now all we need is an affordable 10-20GB memory stick duo and the support for over 4GB. Then everyone will be happy!

"The PSP has lost momentum."
Umm, isn't that jumping the gun? Jeese, we still have the great library of games on the way at years end and Q1 of 2007. I think we about ready to gain momentum.
Besides, the 'stock pile' that Sony has is likely to be the PS3s that ASUS started manufactoring about 3 weeks to 1 month ago. Should be over 200,000 PS3 units by this time.
Alex @ Aug 11th 2006 5:59PM
A $150 price tag would help it compete with the DS Lite... Still, i think more people would rather get a DS Lite + a $20 game @ $150.
hoffer @ Aug 11th 2006 6:05PM
I may pick one up at $150 to play LocoRoco. Unless that game ends up blowing.
There isn't one game on the PSP now that I want to play that I haven't already played on the PS2.
epobirs @ Aug 11th 2006 6:15PM
A 25% price drop is a bit much. I'd expect a smaller increment. Going down to $179.99 for at leat six months seems far more likely and in keeping with price cuts of the past.
Before anyone brings up the $250 price, that was for a bundle. The $200 PSP nekkid package just matches what was offered in Japan from launch.
K @ Aug 11th 2006 7:04PM
Lost momentum? When did it have momentum? Though some promising games may be slated for future release, there are currently no killer apps for the PSP.
the price drop, if it happens, would be on par to what the device is worth, but it'd be nice if they dropped it another twenty bucks so new adopters wouldn't be so fazed about having to buy a 4GB Pro Duo to really get the most out of the system.
Tex @ Aug 11th 2006 7:17PM
Yes, abilities. But DS Lite has a great community now. Much more than PSP (sorry)
Andrew @ Aug 11th 2006 7:36PM
Damn... I paid nearly $300 at launch, (was sold out in retail so I bought on eBay), a mere year ago. Now its almost half the price? A little disappointing...
Chris @ Aug 11th 2006 7:54PM
Homebrew for the PSP really boosted up my interest. I am STILL messing and modifying my PSP. I am not even close to being bored with it. Applications such as AFKIM are really useful because I can use AIM on my PSP! And the Internet Browser which is a blast! I think like at the last firmware Sony should allow unsigned code. That will boost up PSP sales.
pixelator @ Aug 11th 2006 8:05PM
"about what the system is worth in my opinion."
Who cares about your opinion? Your blog makes your 'opinion' (foaming-at-mouth anti-Sony) as known as any of us needs it to be.
About the news - I think it's a good time for the price drop, and I think although the system was 'worth' its price even when it was $249.99, $149.99 is far more competitive in this market at this time.
soupbun @ Aug 11th 2006 8:40PM
A move like this only cheapens the PSP's image even further. It would've been better if the hilights were marketed better. It would most likely spell disaster for Sony's bottom line, while not improving the sales figures. And destroying the bottom line doesn't really help development all that much.
Chris @ Aug 11th 2006 8:52PM
I don't think the price of the hardware is the problem, but the software is. I just can't force myself to pay $40-$50 for a portable game. I think $30 is the sweet spot.
Silver R. Wolfe @ Aug 11th 2006 8:56PM
@soupbun
I completely disagree. Alot of people, mainstream teens and tweens, see the PSP as something really nice and awe-inspiring. Seeing it drop to a price that is suddenly affordable would greatly boost its adoption rate.
Yes, Sony wouldn't be making more money off of that but if more people adopt the console than more games will be sold. Why else do you think that nothing in the PSP's library can touch NSMB's pristine position on the charts?
Dropping the price down to $150 should be something that Sony should consider. It would also help in propagating uses for the PSP - PS3 interactivity. If more people have PSPs, then developer's can assume that their audience will want some form of interaction between the two.
Mainstream audiences also go for the simple titles, like racing and sports games but the more they play, the more they get interested in other titles. With the good run of titles scheduled for Q4 of this year and Q1 of next year, the new adopters would have a lot of good games to choose from to build their library and establish the PSP as a better handheld.
pixelator @ Aug 11th 2006 9:26PM
"A move like this only cheapens the PSP's image even further."
Your view of the PSP's image is so valid, too. Along with Suicide, you're about the last two people to be taken seriously on any PSP related discussion. Seriously soupbun old pal, you're a little lower on the 'Giving the PSP any credit at all' list than Reggie Fils-Aime.
"And destroying the bottom line doesn't really help development all that much."
What development? Hardware? Sony could take a huge loss and still come back with well designed, progressive hardware next quarter, like they did with the UX series micro PC and now the Mylo Skype/media/chat phone. As for third party software, Sony dropping the PSP pricing can't hurt, especially if they lower dev station prices along with.
sony PSP @ Aug 11th 2006 11:34PM
As someone else said, I highly doubt it will drop to $150. $180 sounds much more reasonable.
soupbun @ Aug 12th 2006 9:12AM
pixelator, you can whatever BS opinion you want about me, but with the latest NPD data sagging PSP sales , the DS's affordable image, and the Nintendo's profit advantage on hardware, let me give you two words to describe clearly why lowering the price will kill the PSP - PRICE WAR. Nintendo has so many ways to stave off Sony because it makes so much money off the DS already. Sony needs to work on other things than just playing around with price. $200 is a good price point. Go get a clue.
soupbun @ Aug 12th 2006 10:16AM
yeah, yeah, pixelator. you can give me as little credit as you want, but if you look back on your notes, you'll see exactly where I beat you down. You were always ranting about how great the hardware is, when I told you it would be useless for sales. You were always ranting about the great browser, when I told you that nobody would care because the interface sucked. and look what happened - the NPD data shows sagging sales for the PSP, EA criticizing the PSP in public, still losing money on the hardware, lost momentum. How about when I said the DS software sales will keep up. Or how I pointed how lousy the PSP ports suck (I Personally never cared that the games were ports, but my one time bashing a PSP port - Tomb Raider - was due to really crapping porting). Or how about when I pointed out about having all those multimedia features won't do diddly squat? Given I was never an outspoken fanboy like yourself, I still own one, trying to compare both. Still looking for the next great game for the PSP. You're always a SPECS and NUMBERS, but never looking at the real world. And I've seen you flip back and forth as soon as the numbers changed, saying how PSP needs to shape up when the DS started to really go on a roll. I think this article is just a great place to put you back in your place, goon. Although it's funny how I run into you in other forums, and how much of an ass you look like there too.
So let me give you a few reasons why I think a $150 price point sux:
- the target audience - adult males ppl with lots of disposable income like me - already think $200 is a good price point. Lowering it would only concede to the public that the product isn't really worth the time. Show me one product where it recovered miraculously after a price drop after it sagging sales, and I'll give this point up.
- Nintendo makes HUGE margins off the DS hardware and software. They have so many ways to fight with Sony on a price war - better bundles, lowering the price themselves, giving partner incentives, advertising, etc. Getting into a price war with Nintendo will just SUCK for the PSP's bottom line
- Stringer is trying to turn Sony back around into a profit company. I doubt he wants one of his best divisions to start sinking. And the best way to sink the division is to create further weakness on one of it's key projects. In the real world, businesses know it takes alot more than price slashing to recover your business. Your partners are having doubts about your product, you didn't manage to eliminate the DS like you promised, your competitor managed to trounce you after 2 years on the market, and all those features are starting to look like gimmicks (ironic?) because it didn't make any gains on sales. Do you really think price slashing will solve all that?
So let's see, the only thing I agree with you on is lowering the dev kit price. yes a good start, but seeing some of the ports, I think they need to work on the dev kit a bit further. That will take more cash. hmmm, if you propose to lower the price point to $150 when you're already making a loss on the product, where's the cash going to come from? Another division? Great way to piss off the rest company. That's like asking your dad to hand over your brother's allowance because you spent all yours. Or taking money from your wife to fund your gambling/drinking addictions. Hmmm, pixelator, what's your proposal now? I never had glowing reviews about the PSP like you had, but considering that I own one and resisted all opportunities to eBay it, I don't want it to die either. Price slashing is a great way to kill your product.
Great,you made me rant for a gazillion pages again. Thanks alot, pixelator :P

pixelator @ Aug 12th 2006 4:58PM
I 'made' you rant? Dude, you've been ranting and railing against the PSP for like two years or more. I've seen your Quixotic posts all over the place.
You 'beat me down'? Uh, OK - whatever you say, kid. Yes, the browser is decent - not perfect, but certainly better than the featureless one you have to PAY for on your beloved DS. PSP sales sagging? It's shipped over 20 million worldwide and likely sold 17+ million. Even in Japan, while a distant second to the DS Lite, it's making a decent showing at #2 and sales have been edging back up of late.
Multimedia on the PSP 'doesn't do diddly squat' for you, who hasn't owned one and has no idea what it's like, but for the people who own and use theirs, it's another story. Yeah, you're no fanboy at all - you're a hateboy, and your 'crusade' against the PSP has and continues to mean, nothing to those of us who know better. I don't believe for a second you own a PSP. You bitch about ports you haven't played, and then I guess you turn to your wonderful DS and... Play ports. Nevermind the fact that Gamerankings/Metacritic establish a higher overall rating for the average PSP game, and show many more higher rated titles than the DS. And yet, according to Nintendites like you, the PSP has crap for games, and they're all 'crappy ports'.
Speaking of goons, it's Nintendo freaks, slavering and raging on Sony, etc. forums who are the true asswipes of the online game community. You can flame me to your Sony-despising, jealousy-steeped hearts content and it doesn't make you any more credible, or right.
You go on to call me a 'specs and numbers tool' when it's YOU who keeps going back to the numbers: DS sales higher, PSP sales flagging, DS game sales, etc. This 'roll' of yours is due to the Lite, anyway. Prior to that, the PSP was faring very well against the DS in the USA saleswise and even in software sales. You wave NPD figures around and then try to say using those figures is stupid, or not 'real world'.
Lemme tell you something about the real world, kid: I own both, have owned more Nintendo products than you ever have and likely ever will. I developed games for 14 years and have gone to CES and E3 since their inceptions. I like the DS, the Lite's a huge improvement, and your doomsaying and insane screaming against the PSP hasn't changed how good a system it is, that it has many good games, that it has sold incredibly well given Nintendo's historic stranglehold on the handheld market and there's more goodness coming (as you can see from the upcoming games). You, on the other hand, are such a rabid and aggro Ninty fanatic, that you can't even begin to allow for both handhelds having their own value and respective market places. From day one, you've gone on record with this hilarious tirade. Don't talk to me about 'credibility', son.
Now you take the incredibly waffled stance of saying $150 is TOO CHEAP for a PSP, that it was better priced before. Absolutely incredible, this reversal of yours. But then, anything that Sony does is going to meet with your ranting disapproval, so what diff does it make?
I never said the PSP would eliminate the DS, either. More fallacious bullshit from your foaming mouth. God knows what else you have up your jittery sleeve, freakboy.
Please provide any real data about all your wild conjecture re: Partners having doubts, how multimedia features didn't have any effect on PSP sales, how Sony gives no partner incentives while Nintendo does, that the DS 'bundles' are 'better', or how DS hardware and software nets 'huge' more margins than PSP. Otherwise, you're talking out of your ignorant Nintendo-loving ass, just like the rest of the loudmothed, Sony-forum-crashing Nintendo fanatic contingent.
Finally, you say that lowering a price for a FAILING product doesn't save it. That's taking for granted that the PSP is FAILING in the first place, which most would disagree on point of fact - the sales have been actually quite good, and worldwide figures don't bear out your dour, Nintendo-favoring views. Imagine that.
orioles10 @ Aug 12th 2006 6:34PM
Let me first say that IF the PSP goes for $149.99, then it will sell more than the DS. Wouldnt someone spend $20 more for something that has incredible graphics, plays movies, MP3 player, access to internet, stores photos, and much more? In my opinion if someone thinks about buying a PSP or DS, and they dont want to spend that much money ($20=big difference for them) why go with the DS? The PSP IS your own ipod, movie player, and much more.
My opinion:
PSP = YES
DS = NO
soupbun @ Aug 12th 2006 11:47PM
awe pixelator, you want to turn this into your own personal ring match again. what a poor sucker. ok here goes with the links:
- the july NPD data (NDS > PSP by 100%):
http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=11760
- the june NPD data (NDS > PSP by 100%):
http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=19601
- the 2005 data
http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=17953
plus the May NPD which I can't post due to URL limits here.
and not to mention the numerous WebLogs Inc postings on hardware sales for Japan, which continuously trounce DS over PSP for the past YEAR. So yeah with the only barely PSP eeking out the DS last year (by 2%), plus the PSP losing alot to DS this year, plus the ridiculous sales figures for the DS over PSP in Japan (you have been reading the blogs around, have you), plus the similar selling patterns in Europe, and the ridiculous software sales for the DS over the PSP (you have read the links above right?) Do you know what it looks like? A slide. I don't care about your 'shipped' numbers, just like I don't believe Nintendo announcing they sold 21 million. I just watch the sold unit figures, which continually add up to Nintendo's side. Also, you'll notice how the PS2 continues to dominate, pushing PSP titles out of the top 10 but failing to push DS titles, another issue I pointed out that will haunt the PSP. So I don't care about gamerankings or metacritics anymore, since ratings don't translate to sales, but sales figures sure show what sells and don't. And I'm still not sure where you got YOUR facts about software sales, looking at the year end sales facts. Unless you're saying that having one lone title on the top 10 selling software against 4 DS titles is considered 'fairly well'. That looks more like an embarrassment, but hey, it's all about opinions at this point.
And dude, I do own a PSP, with the receipt and all, if you want to see it. But you can rant and rave all you want to say that I don't. it just makes you look like a complete moron. Or other times where you look like a loon, such as the BGA soldering for PDA upgrades on Brighthand forums,remember, how you bad mouth that poor guy about how it's entirely possible to upgrade PDAs with BGA soldering by third parties, only to have someone who knows what they're talking about put you back in you place ;) I do watch these too. ) I laughted my ass off that day. Or how about the stupid DS vs. PSP blog, where you kept ranting and bitching against me that the DS will never be able to connect to the Internet directly, that it'll need tunnelling software and additional hardware to achieve this, that this had to do with Level 3 on the OSI network stack??! huh? how I said that the Level 3 portion is what will enable the DS to connect to the Internet because that's where the TCP portion is implemented, through software. Well, remember slimeball?!?! And look what happened when MKDS and Tony Hawk came around - no additional hardware or firmware update required for the DS to connect to the internet. I was laughing my ass off again as I recalled your stupid remarks. shall we ask WebLogs Inc to bring those back up? You'll never be able to live that one down, idiotic geek! And I'll make sure you don't whenever you bad mouth any other blogger here, scum! Those two incidents alone already prove you have NO IDEA about the technology involved here, or how it impacts the industry. I saved these two facts for a day like today, knowing full well how to kick you in your teeth. Or even more laughs by bringing up stupid Vaio UX-50 - which got crap reviews, or the Mylo, an unknown product that looks like a "ME TOO" item next to Nokia 770 and Sidekick. What are you thinking?!?! Such a f***ing embarrassment you are.
So no, all your time put into CES and E3 means squat so far. I don't care what you do for the industry. Your 'knowledge' doesn't add shit and you still don't know shit! Oh, wait this might be more 'fallacious' bs from my mouth. Just like you, shitball. Why the hell would I lie about owning a PSP, or you just don't read?
PSP was supposed to dethrone DS - it didn't. PSP was supposed to demonstrate the future of handheld gaming - it didn't. PSP was supposed to kill iPods - it didn't. PSP was supposed to usher a new era of portable entertainment - it sure hasn't. And I hope you're not thinking about 'cool' new features like a proprietary email client and GPS. Already I'm laughing so hard right now, it hurts. But it's also so painful because I'm just confused as to where Sony plans to take those useless features when there are so many other problems they need to fix. The only thing I'm waiting to try next on my PSP now is the PS1 emulation. I think that's the first smart move I've heard about the PSP since launch. So no, I'm not skeptical about the PSP because I like the DS - I'm skeptical because it has so many broken promises, goofball. And you're still just a gaming geek with no sense of the real world. And I still think $150 is the worst idea for the PSP because they need the money to keep the PSP going. It's still selling right now, why play with it?
pixelator @ Aug 13th 2006 1:50AM
Soupbunny, you are the most hilarious and frenetic DS fanboy on the PSP forums.
* Your NPD figures are useless - I never said the DS didn't outsell the PSP in the USA recently, although it outsold the DS in 2005 by a lot more than 2%.
* Hardware sales for Japan are reflecting the popularity of the Lite right now - prior to that, the PSP was doing comparatively better (and is now at a pretty solid #2, as I said). So again, you prove nothing other than yeah, the Japanese love the DS. Never said otherwise.
* You proceed to take up half your stupid rant by redundantly re-describing sales numbers. But in your previous posts, you said those numbers don't matter.
* You 'don't care' about units sold, but cite weekly and monthly totals. Nothing like doing a little selective factfinding, eh? Typical fucking idiot fanboy fanatic: Look only at the facts that support your extremist posturing -- Even at the cost of ignoring the two most respected resources for game ratings, and Nintendo and Sony themselves. Gods, you have your head in the sand.
* You keep anthropomorphizing the PSP and DS - citing 'embarrassment' for the PSP (can it feel?) if there's more DS titles in a given top 10 slot. Do you realize your NPD figures don't account for chain sales? I gave up using them as any kind of source when I found that out.
* Please link to the Brighthand threads you're talking about. I never badmouthed anyone for 'BGA soldering' and I have no idea what you're talking about. The fact that you appear to be tracking me to other websites shows YOU to be the 'loon' here. What next, gonna show up at my doorstep with a bloody axe? Freak.
* Yes, I was skeptical (I never said it would NEVER connect) about the DS going online. And guess what? Many routers don't work. No secure nets/WPA, as I predicted. And you still can't get online and surf the web without the upcoming POS Opera browser for $30+. How long did it take the DS to get here? Over a year? Almost two? Yes, the TCP is implemented through software - I never said it couldn't ever happen. I just had my doubts, especially about the browser, and look how bloody long it took. And as I recall, you initially had the terminology all completely wrong with the DS TCP tech until you did some frantic googling and came up with some FAQ quotes... Ah, but the selective memory again.
* My comments about Sony products didn't involve the UX-50, I was talking about the UX series MICRO PC, more specifically the UX180P. Now, who's misquoting and misrepresenting whom, again? Oh yeah, the Mylo is JUST LIKE a Sidekick - a SKYPE phone that plays MPEG4 and has 4GB. Wow, looks JUST like a Nokia 770, too. You're so perceptive and all-knowing, how can I ever win against such a force? I guess Sony has never come out with any good hardware, ever. They've always been shit. You da man. Oh, and it's totally fine that the DS looks just like an iPOD - because it's Nintendo. Yup.
* If you do own a PSP and haven't sold it, you're the biggest hypocrite on the planet. Anyone who would go to the lengths you do to shit on a device and then keep it around for anything other than target practics is a certifiable psychotic.
* Very few people expected the PSP to dethrone NINTENDO (not just the DS, but the GBA and whatever other handheld they make). We all pretty much figured it wouldn't happen overnight, but the fact is, 17-20 million sold and clearly faring better than any other non-Nintendo handheld in history. It's Sony's FASTEST selling console in their history. But yeah, it's a total failure and hasn't done anything worthy of note. It sucks. Worthless. Dead. And calling me a shitbag, goofball, shitball, etc. etc. makes you even more right, too. It absolutely ironclads your credibility, man.
Fact is, the PSP has done just fine. It continues to do fine. It could use some more original and entertaining games like Every Extend, Loco Roco and others, and I agree with what people are saying about it lacking a 'killer app' and that Sony needs to get off their asses and provide a real content online service along with a keyboard. The other fact is, at $150, they're going to sell more PSP units - especially at Christmas. If they release a PSP2 soon as some are predicting, that strategy looks even better, not unlike Nintendo replacing the fugly PHAT with the LITE and discounting the former.
But then, we're talking Nintendo and Sony, and whatever the BIG N does is going to be just peachy with biased fanboys like you - while everything the Big Evil SONY does is going to be subject to your lunatic rages.
Aex @ Aug 24th 2006 12:39PM
I approve of this rumored price drop. The only thing keeping my friends from buying a psp also, is the price. If it was at 150$, they would have no reason not to get one ^^ Finally, Monster Hunter and Lumines multiplayer!!
Zohluff @ Sep 29th 2006 11:08AM
Ignoring Pixelator and Soupbun's little argument...
I'm all for the price drop.
I've been thinking about getting a PSP for Silent Hill 0rigins and Metal Gear Solid Port Ops, but the only thing stopping me is the $200 price. I don't care for music, photos, or video (multimedia has never been the selling point for me when it comes to gaming consoles), so paying the price of 7 brand new DS games for a gaming ready PSP (with memory stick) was too steep.
If I could buy a bundle pack with everything I need to fully enjoy my new PSP at the current price of a bare-bones one I'd love that. All the money wasted to on more memory could be applied toward commercial games.
Zohluff @ Sep 29th 2006 11:08AM
A quick edit: I meant 7 brand new DS games for a bare PSP.
Sorry, I'm tired.
