PSP price pondered
Sony waiting to see how public reacts to PSP at Tokyo Game Show before announcing pricing plans.
From The AP, "Despite widespread speculation, [PlayStation CEO Ken] Kutaragi refused to give a price for the PlayStation Portable, or PSP, saying he wants to first gauge reaction at the Tokyo Game Show."
"'It's difficult to say anything about the PSP without a price,' said Kazuya Yamamoto, analyst with UFJ Tsubasa Securities Co. in Tokyo, adding that retailers expect a price of about 30,000 yen ($271), which may be a trifle steep."
"Eiji Maeda, analyst with Daiwa Institute of Research in Tokyo, believes most people aren't going to get too excited about watching movies on a portable. They probably won't be doing that on commuter trains, and you can already do it on flights, he says, so why buy a PSP?"
"'I sure wouldn't buy it for that,' Maeda said. 'Unless there's aggressive pricing, PSP is going to have a hard time.'"
