Features dropped to keep cost down.
Now the dust has settled on Sony’s Tokyo press conference announcement of the PSP2, codenamed the Next Generation Portable, one question remains unanswered: how much will it cost?
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss Andrew House told Eurogamer the powerful handheld will be “affordable”, but the manufacturer has so far refused to pin down the price.
Now another top Sony executive has suggested the NGP won’t cost an arm and a leg, citing lessons learnt from the PlayStation 3 which cost a whopping $599 when it launched.
