According to P.J.McNealy of American Technology Research we can expect a price cut for the PSP sometime during the holiday season. Apparently, Sony is stockpiling finished gaming hardware which is believed to be PSPs. Although hardware sales have been pretty solid with 20 million units sold shipped, the DS is still on top with 21 million units sold, a slim lead. However, hardware sales don’t tell the whole story. The DS has been stomping the PSP in terms of software sales with new games such as Brain Age and Nintendogs that appeal to a wider audience. A $50 price cut (bringing the price down to $150) combined with the future firmware update that will allow downloadable PSOne and a GPS receiver could give Sony the edge it needs to overtake Nintendo in the portable gaming war.
Thanks to murder1 for pointing out that the PSP has only shipped 20 million and not sold that many. Mea cupla.

Sorry to correct you but you have a small mistake in the story. The psp had shipped 20 million units not sold 20 million. It can be a big difference. I would like to see 20 million sold but it hasn’t happened yet.
Yeah but with that info, they are saying the PSP has only sold like 13 million total… I don’t believe there are 7 million unsold, shipped PSP’s…..
(13 was a number I read somewhere, QJ I think)
This site used to be the best, now it is shit.
Hey fredsst, if you don’t like the site, don’t go to it. Simple.
Yeah. I love it more than ever. :)
@fredsst
Despite what some of you may think, I’m only human (gasp) and I make mistakes from time to time. If you can’t handle that, than leave.
Told, bitches.
It’s not a big deal, yo!
I welcome a comment in the forum why the site is behind on news and commentary, when it used to be the leader, thats all.
There used to be another person who posted news besides myself but he has left PGR. Keeping up with everything single little thing that goes on in the PSP world is too much for one person. Also keep in mind that I don’t get payed for doing this.
And you want stories to stay up for some time. You don’t want to update every 10 minutes. People would never see the stories, then what’s the point?
:S
