Sony NGP: New Survey Suggests Competitive $250 Pricepoint

NGP for$250?!Even though it's probably just a rumor, imagine if so? I don't care about 3G so the NGP for just 250 dollars is enough to consider pre-ordering it (if the launch games are any good I mean).

$250 for NGP would be excellent (Thats what the 3DS is) but I just cannot see it happening.

Slightly believable. The source likely does have ties to Sony Playstation insider news.

The people that think the NGP will be a ludidicarous price or not affordable really do not about the fact that companies such as Apple mark up he prices of their iOS prices and that Sony can take happily take price cuts because games are what will lift their units.

I do not doubt the NGP will be $250 but, the incoming 3DS price cut (after a cheap NGP price) might be a concern. Hopefully, the NGP will already have people totally hooked by that time. On the 3G model being $350, Sony might as well go that way. 3G chips and network talks might not be worth $100 USD per unit but, Sony likely want to tax that to make up for such a low priced base NGP price and as well to cash in.

There is definitelya scenario where the NGP could be $250 at launch. Definitely.

$250 it is worth to buy , also worth to wait !!!8)

How important is 3G anyway? What exactly does it do?

250 dollars?! That cant be true, look at whats built into that thing: two touch screens, two cameras,...

I would beawesome though!

If NGP would cost 250$, it is a no-brainer buying it for me. I'd get it day one ( i hope there will be different launch bundles, i never cared much for Uncharted)darkPSPfan

$350 USD being the price point for the 3G model, Sony would definitly make a significantly larger profit. Even at $250 for the wifi model, the technology within the NGP would cost about $200-300 USD so, sony would not be loosing much or could even be making a small profit at $250 USD (not counting labor). By the time the NGP enters into Q2 2012, than the parts and labor will certainly shrink and Sony could make a profit from then on out.
