Sony Gamescom Conference

Lol no Wi-fi PSP, what's the point of it?? They really are doing the same what Nintendo did, when DS was released a GB Micro came into market which didn't sell well. I predict the same here. Even though it looks nice. What is it? PSP 4k. PSP Brite Lite?

Keeping that aside, I can't wait to see this new Resistance game, love the series so far

EDit: O Shit DMC 5 trailer, now that's more important!!

It's cheap. Besides, Multiplayer isn't everything, and there are a good amount of great Single player games on the PSP (Phantom Brave: Hermuda Triangle, you will be MINE)

True it's cheap but the majority of gamers nowadays prefer Multiplayer more.

But think of this, PSP 4k comes out, fans already know a PS Vita is around the horizon, why would they buy 4k over the Vita?? I don't think they would. Well atleast this explains WHY the Vita was delayed.

I'd actually say some people might be incredibly confused and buy the 4000 instead of Vita, because they remodeled it to look very similar-like.

Let'd be blunt here, it's not like the PSP was famous for online gaming.

Exactly my point.

People are not that stupid. "Yah the new PSV is $99"

Unless they are extremely idiotic, I don't think so.
They look totally different (dual analog sticks are a big hint), besides how do you confuse the name Vita with PlayStation Portable?

• Vita will have Facebook, Twitter, Skype and 4squared (probably more)
• Vita will have trophies
• All PS Vita games will be available for download via the PlayStation Store.
• New Resistance game for Vita called Resistance Burning Skies, set before Resistance 2.
• New Vita game called Reality Fighters, by Invizimals creators.
• Another new Vita game, Escape Plan
• Sonys take on a fitness game for Playstation Move called Move Fitness
• Another Move title. DanceStar Party (Think Just Dance)
• New PS3 game InFamous 2: Festival of Blood, Vampires!

Yawn, nothing interesting.

• New PSP Model coming this fall, only £99. Has no Wi-Fi (Assuming there is still Ad-Hoc)
• PS3 price drop everywhere, £249/$249

Too bad I can pretty much see new PSPs going for 99€ everywhere (and they HAVE wifi). Also, isn't the PS3 already going for £249?

So, essentially Sony is officializing the prices that resellers have been using since months (in the hope of selling more Sony products)? Cool.

That's the RRP. Retailers can sell for any price they want. If anything this will drive PSP/PS3 prices below the 99 Euro.£249 price point.

Used, yes.
Which will be more cheaper now.

They was basically announcing the new RRP.

That's an invalid point. PS Vita has a totally different name, if it were to be called PSP 4k instead, THEN people would've been confused. Not when it's clearly named "Vita" which is something totally different.

The same way people think Nintendo 3DS is the same as Nintendo DS.
Same thing: An analog stick added, bigger top screen...pretty hard to get confused. And yet people do.

Note that I have no faith in human intelligence.

Nintendo made the mistake of keeping the DS in 3DS.
As well as the mistake of Wii in Wii U.

Edit: But yes, I know what you're getting at.

If the human mind thinks that a Ds (or DSi) has a analog stick when even seeing any new commercial or news article about it.....


I know they're pretty much the same but come on.

The DS was marketed at people who don't like video games. The PSV shouldn't have that problem mainly because it has a name which is clearly different. Sony can also get away with it as it is the the Playstation brand. There's familiarity but still differentiation.

I have to agree with you.
When you consider that most consumers that will be purchasing this (holiday season) are likely parents who know nothing about videogames, you need to make it apparent that the two consoles are different. Otherwise, they'll just end up purchasing whatever model is cheaper (or what the sales rep tells them).

Retailers lower their share (and thus the final price) mainly because they wouldn't sell the items otherwise. Well duh if I know about that, I work in a computer/videogames shop. That's how you can get a PSP for 99€ even if the RRP was way higher.

If Sony had to announce a new RRP is probably because retailers driven them to that (and do not forget about customer request). I wonder if they'll really start selling PSP less than 99€.
That'd mean Sony selling them for EVEN less to retailers, and I can't honestly see how Sony can make profit on it, on a price like that.

Hm, I can see the PS3 new for 249€ on Amazon quite often. Oh well, if retailers will price it even less than that, then that's a good thing.

Weird, according to Amazon PS3's new are 299, used are 225 (For a 160 system. For some reason it's even higher for a 120 system, new that is.)

 

[AlanJohn]

... But if theres no Wi-Fi how the f*ck do you play multi-player?

I bought my GO for 90$ and it has Wi-Fi...
Sony could have just make the GO for 50$ and release about 20 free awesome games, big N wouldn't even stand a chance...
