According to Sony the PSP3 will not be cheap. The $499 price range is at the high end, even though the product has many impressive features:

“As just a game console it is expensive, but not if you think about it as an entertainment center,” said Koichi Ogawa, chief portfolio manager at Daiwa SB Investments. “The price may be somewhat tough for Sony. If you consider the costs, the price probably should be higher.”

The XBOX 360 has a big lead in production time, but Sony is expecting to outsell them anyway. Each PSP3 will contain a Blu-Ray DVR.

The advanced features of the PSP3 may not be enough to overcome the high price tag:

“Unless there are some amazing launch titles that turn up in the next six months, I think it’s going to be pretty tough going for Sony,” said Hiroshi Kamide, game analyst for KBC Securities. “It’s still going to lose money hand over fist at these prices.”

The PSP3 will be released in November of 2006 in Japan.

  3. Please let me know when and where I can purchase a psp3. My son did not want me to buy him the xbox360 when they came out he kept saying sony psp was going to bring out a better game system. From what I’ve read about the psp3 I think he’s right. Please please send me an e-mail to let me know where I can purchase one for him for Christmas. Thank you.
