Game Forum / Nintendo / Game Boy / January 2004PSP at $199-$249 (EA)
got this from gaming-age forum: quote: Big thank you goes to GScow for the info. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EA just said on their conference call they expect Sony to price PSP at $199-249 with software at $39.99. A release date of November or perhaps early December and for Sony to ship 3m by March 2005. edit: Also from EA call. Expect 8-12 PSP titles (from EA) in fiscal year (to March 31 2005), existing franchises, features that'll make the compelling, hopefully. R&D costs higher than GB, $1-2m per title range. Expect margins to be better than GB since it isn't a cartridge format but haven't seen Sony's model yet. Really bullish on platform. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll buy a PSP for $200 or even $250 Still too much for a handheld gaming system. And I doubt it would be below $200 US from reading its specs. And I doubt people would like changing batteries every 3 hours. > got this from gaming-age forum: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I'll buy a PSP for $200 or even $250 > Still too much for a handheld gaming system.

I personally would not pay more than what a used PS2 costs, but thats just one mans' opinion. >> > Still too much for a handheld gaming system.

I just want to play games. I don't consider something somehow innately less valueable just because it's portable. > Still too much for a handheld gaming system. And I doubt it would be below > $200 US from reading its specs. Sure it will, after it bombs like the CD-i and the Virtual Boy.  Signature"It's the 21st. Century, but where are the flying cars? "There are no flying cars. "I was promised flying cars." Avery Brooks, IBM commercial Dude, I wish I had a CD-i... then I could play the lost Zelda game... SEV > > Still too much for a handheld gaming system. And I doubt it would be > below [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > "I was promised flying cars." > Avery Brooks, IBM commercial > Still too much for a handheld gaming system. http://news.gaminghorizon.com/media/1074787953.html "Some additional Nintendo news bits have hit the web this morning, foremost among them the news that the Nintendo DS - previously announced here - will cost an approximate $187 USD" Even if the PSP is $50 or $75 more, I think you'll find a lot of people willing to pay that for a device that plays true next-gen handheld games and acts as an all-in-one media player, as opposed to a dual-screened niche market toy with virtually no developer support behind it. > And I doubt people would like changing batteries every 3 hours. Your ill-informed belief that the PSP will need to be recharged (it likely won't even have removable batteries) every three hours is about as valuable and useful as the sh.t I just took. BTW, your "line up" of developers backing the DS is holding steady at exactly one, with EA saying they may not even bother with the stupid thing: http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6087083.html Looks like the N-Gage might have some company. -Z- I have this feeling that the next GameBoy will be out by 2006 anyways... though I comletely agree that the PSP will blow the DS out of the water, if not the GBA, GameCube and X-box... meh... Sony just has too much electronics experience to compare... I love my Cube to death, but if N doesn't put out they might as well start looking into becoming third party... but I think they WILL put out... and put out big... so yeah SEV > > Still too much for a handheld gaming system. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > -Z- Have you started to warm up to the PSP now Zackman? a couple of months ago you weren't too keen on its chances. > > Still too much for a handheld gaming system. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > -Z- if it has a TV out and I can play DVDs on it and their is an extra contoller port that would be able to use a 4way adapet...

EA is hiring *dozens* of people in Vancouver to do PSP ports. > >Really bullish on platform. > > No kidding ... EA is hiring *dozens* of people in Vancouver to do PSP > ports. I read they have a 100+ development studio forming in Vancouver >I read they have a 100+ development studio forming in Vancouver Minimum ... they will hire more than that if they can get them. 'Course, all those people better pray the PSP doesn't "pull an nGage". however unlikely that might be! |
