Default Re: Why is PSP so expensive

At least someone (DarkMaster) understands that divisions play a huge role in the electronics business.

Sony has spent millions on it's HDTV and WEGA televisions, and Samsung is currently destroying them in that department. That is the result in the huge debt Sony Electronics is in. Don't be so trigger happy with dismal news about Sony... because it's just their Consumer Electronics division that is in debt. Different divisions are funded by different subsidiaries and third parties.

Sony Computer Entertainment is a division funded by many different subsidiary companies. The losses in their consumer electronics division hurt the company as a whole, but it does not effect the price point of the PSP.

Do your homework.... PSP is reasonably priced. Everyone might not like that it's only available as a value pack, but that's no grounds to say it is overpriced. The solo unit in Japan is $185.

EDIT: Did anyone else notice how contrived it was to post this thread, considering this article reports on their situation on June 30, 2004.

My parents just bought a Sony Wega 42" Flat Screen.


I hope that helps pull you out of debt, Sony. Best wishes.

LOL... their constribution will probably be noted, considering Samsung is owning Sony in the TV/Electronics department.

Why am I always the one that gets rebuked for starting threads of a controversial and/or pointless matter?

For some reason I understand you.

EDIT: Update from Credit Suisse First Boston....

Sony sold 600,000 to 700,000 units of the PSP, as the game player is known, in the first week of U.S. sales, Credit Suisse First Boston said April 1, citing its own survey of retailers. Sony said it prepared 1 million units for the release.

STOP


Look at your user name.

Posts like this are why it's like that.

This is not funny anymore.

For many people it never was.

Knock it off.
