PSP2’s price is “not going to be $599,” says Sony

Sony recently said they’ll try and keep the price of the PSP2 (NGP) affordable, and some execs said it’ll be $599.99.

Shu Yoshida, worldwide boss of SCE confirmed that that’s not true. “From the very beginning of the project – since 2008 – pricing was one of the considerations that we had,” he told Game Informer.

“Hopefully when we announce the price, people will see the proper value,” he added. “It’s not going to be $599.”

Okay, so $549.99, I’m guessing?

Well, Industry analysts don’t agree with me. They’re guessing somewhere between $249.99 to $299.99.
