I think Sony is trying to grab the iPod generation who is willing to pay a premium for a slim, cool looking device. Which is to say people who aren't exactly in this board's demographic.

The problem is when it comes to playing music, Sony really doesn't want people comparing the iPod to the PSP.

It's a risky move, and I'm not exactly sure it was a wise one. Simply raising the price of a product doesn't necessarily generate demand. But that's what they're going to do, for better or for worse. One thing is certain: Nintendo is sleeping much better at night.
