The PSP Go now seems likely to continue the flat lining sales of the PSP (just 1.3 million worldwide in Q1 of 2009, compared to 5.97 million DS units), with a price point that will interest only the deepest of pockets. Comparing its competition further, the new PSP Go, which has an official RRP of $449.95 in Australia and no firm release date, is $150 more expensive than Sony's previous model, the PSP-3000, which will remain at its current price point of $300 RRP. The PSP Go differs from the older model in that it’s 50 percent smaller and removes the UMD slot, moving to a digital download model instead. The new PSP Go also has 16GB of internal flash memory and more RAM, but reportedly less battery life. According to Sony, the new PSP will come with a download code for Gran Turismo PSP, but this will provide little solace to kids, teenagers and, in fact, anyone on a strict budget. At this stage, those first in line for the new PSP will almost exclusively be those in fresh business suits and money to burn. Sony, you finally have a great chance to rival Nintendo in handheld sales. Don’t blow it. |
