Nintendo DS
15000 yen = $144 = £77 (+17.5% = £90) = 110 (+17.5% = 129)
Actual price:
15000 yen <> $149 <> £99 <> 149
Markups / Difference (approx):
none <> $5 <> £10 (£25 incl tax payable) <> 20 (40 incl tax payable)
PSP
PSP 1000 pack: 19800 yen = $190 = £100 (+17.5% = £118) = 146 (+17.5% = 171)
PSP 1000K pack: 26040 yen = $251 = £133 (+17.5% = £156) = 192 (+17.5% = 226)
If Sony displayed similar differences in markup and pricing, we'd have:
PSP 1000 pack: none <> $195 <> £110-£125 <> 165-195
PSP 1000K pack: none <> $255 <> £143-£158 <> 212-232
My predictions
I think we'll see a PSP in the UK for £130 at best (the pricepoint PS2 and Xbox had been at for quite a while). I think it could be as high as $200 in the US. 180-200 in the rest of Europe. Something like that.
The value pack.. which is what most people here will probably want would weigh in at something like: £150-180, $230-250, 230-250
Prices like that would be fiendishly good. I'm fully prepared to accept thinking of it in this manner might be totally wrong, but I do think it gives us a good idea at the moment. People would still lap this thing up. And I think we'll see that. But with DS at $149, £99 and 149 -- you have to expect premiums to those figures for PSP. Common sense.
What guess ye GAF?
Is my back oriface somehow typing or you with me?
