In a BBC TV interview last week, Sony Chief Executive Producer Phil Harrison put on a brave face and announced that Sony isn’t concerned about Apple’s new video iPod. Quote: “No, we’re not worried.”

If it weren’t just necessary bravado (executives aren’t allowed to admit to being afraid or needing their comfy blankies), we might be inclined to believe him. As it stands, though, the new iPod could put a serious crimp in Sony’s plans to sell the PSP as anything other than a portable gaming device.

Here’s a quick comparison of the two products from the video playback angle only:

Resolution: iPod 320x240; PSP 480x272 (advantage: PSP)
Storage: iPod 30GB and 60GB; PSP memory sticks up to 4GB (advantage: iPod)
Commerce: iPod video store uses familiar iTunes interface; PSP lacks video store or central video clearinghouse of any sort (advantage: iPod)
Usability: getting video onto iPod is part of the product design; PSP requires third-party compression software and technical know-how (advantage: iPod)
Portability: iPod weighs 4.8 and 5.5 ounces; PSP weighs 9.17 ounces (advantage: iPod)
Operation: iPod is made for one-hand operation; PSP requires two hands (advantage: iPod)
What we’re really hoping is that the iPod creates within Sony an urgency that will allow the PSP’s product designers to ditch technologies that are holding the console back and push through changes that have been shot down in the past for political reasons. The good folks at Sony know what’s required for the PSP to compete with the iPod, but political considerations and warring internal factions can result in compromises that cripple product popularity. ...

Yesterday we posted a tip about how to get Playstation and Xbox consoles on the cheap via eBay. Well we thought we’d also pick up on two auctions that exhibit the negative side of eBay video game auctions. Back in May this year an eBay seller successfully sold an Xbox box (yes, just the box) for $200. And again this September someone managed to sell a PSP box for a little over $200. Since these auctions are not breaking eBay’s rules there’s nothing they can do to stop them.

The PSP auction is still online at the “Read” link below, but the Xbox auction went offline a month or so ago. You can read about the Xbox box auction here. With the impending release of the Xbox 360 (and inevitable deluge on eBay) expect a lot more Xbox boxes to turn up on eBay this November. Don’t say you weren’t warned! ...
