Sony was selling PS3 at a >$100 loss per console when launch. It was not till recent that they are actually MAKING profit after several hardware revision.
Company do them, is call marketing plan. Because the long run will net them more profit.
>Charging developers already upset the cost of console lost already
gayfact: No Apple product were sold at a loss ever since Steve

If they sell at a loss the licensing fees are going to turn developers away.
it's the psp all over again.
also, 3ds will win once the inevitable pokemon games happen.

pokemon is a multi-million dollar franchise.
Don't have exact numbers, but 1.8 million is small change compared to how much they make.

Pokemon will always print money. I will assume a new twisted metal will be on psp2, but guess what? Small children with a psp2 won't buy it. Either they wont even know what it is, or their parents wont let them. Nintendo markets to all ages and sony markets to the older crowds.
I just pray microsoft never has a handheld 360.

small children don't have money, they are the consumer, their parents ARE the customer who pays for the goddamn console and the games.
if 3Dicks doesn't print money in U.S, then it will be the the third "no money" console in America.
psp2 will sell like chocolate cake Fucking hipsters preteen that too much money to blow on Apple products anyway.
3DIcks will launch in mid March ( U.S)
eyephone,eyepad, any other eyeproduct are due to refresh in mid june or late April
PSP2 will be arriving just in time for "holiday" they said, so is safe to assume for right-on time Christmas sale.

every company is out to make money. durrrr. that's what they do.
fact is that when consoles launch, they inevitably end up selling at a loss most if not all the time. The only company that hasn't done it yet, is probably Nintendo, cuz they use cheap ass last gen parts.
Fact. Sony only started to profit off the selling of PS3 consoles in around June 2010, meaning they were bleeding money for 3 and a half years. (hence, all those people buying fucktons of PS3s to build server farms since it was cheaper to buy PS3s than the individual parts). They make money off of licensing fees that publishers pay to release games on their platforms, which is around $12 per game sold.
Same with Xbox 360, except they started making money a bit earlier than Sony cuz they launched a year earlier.
So yes, I would not be surprised at all if the PSP2 sells at a loss at launch.
but still.

Sony can't afford to sell PSP2 at 499, is a suicide mission if they do so. Unless you expecting $10dollar games. To keep it competitive, Sony have to place the price below a smartphone( w or w/o contract), above the 3DS, on above the itouch.

No they don't, money from parent, being a whore don't would just simply goes to more dildo and itune fart apps not expensive console that they never used before. Kid's logic of purchase is like this:
It is on TV?
Does people in my school have it?
it is affordable? ( QUANTITATIVE OVER QUALITY, a simple eyetune game app that cost $1.99 would easily outsell a game full priced at $40 above in the "kiddie" segment)
NGP's target is young adults, people who wants to upgrade their PSP, don't have a smartphone but want 3g network ( not going to happen in America)
3Dick's is towards new consumer, parents that are willing to buy it for their children, and of course, everyone else that's not listed.
