PSP could be expensive…
There’s an interesting article over at CNN about the possibility of the Playstation Portable (PSP) being an expensive device when it comes out.

Of course, this is all hearsay but given all the functionality they plan to add to that system then it’s very possible. Granted, it’s going to be marketed as a “do everything” device and not just a gaming device. I’m sure Sony will think that “hey, people are willing to spend $499 on an iPod (which only plays music) so they will be willing to spend just as much on our product since it’s a Sony”. That may actually be true but it’s going to kill their overall sales…especially if Nintendo’s more focused gaming device Gameboy DS is priced around $99-149. I think Nintendo sells a hell of a lot more Gameboys than Apple does iPods.
