7. The PSP Go will drop in price during the first half of the year.

Depending on who you listen to, the initial sales numbers for the PSP Go have either been "in line with expectations" (according to Sony) or merited "strong reservations" about the PSP's chances in the U.S. (according to a Gamasutra analysis). Either way, the redesign has apparently not become the runaway success Sony needed to turn around its portable system's also-ran image. The Go's main problem seems to be the competition, not from Nintendo's DS, but from Sony's own PSP-3000, which offers more functionality, albeit in a clunkier form factor, for a lower price. As PSP Go inventories start to clog Sony's warehouses, expect it to attempt to clear out the excess by pushing the Go's price to be more in line with the original PSP.
