With the PSPgo championing itself as a digital download-only device, itâs going to run into stiff competition from Appleâs cheap-as-chips App Store. Or, it will if its games arenât priced to compete with those $0.99 iPhone apps.
So itâd be a smart move by Sony to price many games at, well, a similar point. Which is exactly what Pocketgamer reckon will be happening, as according to their sources many PSPgo games will be pitched not at $20 or $30, but âat 1, 2 and 5 Eurosâ (USD$1.50-$7).
Note this doesnât apply to all PSP games; just those smaller, cheaper games like those youâd find on the App Store. Indeed, the App Store flattery extends to the pursuit of successful iPhone developers, with PG saying that Sony have also âbeen actively sourcing iPhone developers to bring existing titles to PSNâ.
Like, a PSPgo version of Rolando? Oh, what a delight that would be for the marketing team.
