Something needs to happen with the PSP, ASAP.
That’s the message retailers have, according to our sources, sent Sony. With sales of the PSP lagging (Sony’s PSP hardware shipments to retailers last Fall were down 72 percent over the year before, only a meager 10,000 units in the U.S.), word is that a few big name retailers have given Sony a mandate: drop the price or they’ll drop the system from their stores. Entirely. With shelf space at a premium, the expectation is for Sony to do something substantial to keep its hardware moving — or else.
It’s a niche device with a very low penetration rate, unlike the DS which has been a massive success for both Nintendo and retailers.
