Was this such a surprise? :lol:

Seriously this was probably the most idiotic move in the videogames industry for some time.

And just as you thought Sony were getting smart again. :lol:

In japan too? Maybe they now have some sense!

tbh, nobody will buy a PSP with a smaller screen, and have to spend 3 hours downloading a game. Not anyone's cup of tea.

It hasn't been looking good for sony since the beginning of the generation. We all knew this wouldn't do as well. Who cares honestly?

Can't say I'm surprised. That thing was doomed from the start.

It was a dumb idea in the first place. If it had UMD conversion it would be much better. Hopefully they didn't put too many resources into it.

Psp go is just a failure , They released it in Lebanon , not a single purchase , 500 mb downloads take 4 days here , but when it comes To Psp , it's the dominating system here. Sony has really been making a lot of bad mistakes......

It should be called the PSP "GTFO", not the PSP GO, looking at the user feedback from that thing.

That's hardly a flop. 28000 on the first day in Japan considering is not released on a big release day is not necesarily a flop. We shall wait and see how it goes on the first week since the article is comparing the first day of the PSP Go with the first week of other similar devices.

At that price for the little upgrades (if any) it has from the 3000, I would be much more surprised if it didn't tank. For now only the rich and the techno freaks will shell out that much (almost enough to buy 2 DS lite) for it.

The DSi has replaced the DSL and as I said before is a casual product.The PSP and PSP Go! are both being sold together.The PSP is still the prefered model over the GO!.Notice how you leave out the little facts?

Originally? No, no it didn't. It took months for the DSi to replace the DS Lite. See how you leave out the little facts?

The article says that the DSi sold 170000 on the first two days but the PSP-3000 sold 140000 on the first 4 days. Yeah maybe the PSPGO won't go near those numbers but I don't think it can be considered a flop yet.

I've said for ages now this was a bad idea, and i know alot of other people have aswell. Maybe the person who thought this was a great idea should be replaced by someone with more sense...

The fact that it abandons the UMD format and PSP supporters pretty much denied itself from the people that have the most interest in buying it.

The DS Lite was sold concurrently with the DSi (not sure that it still is though).

If they had done the exact same design but added another analoge stick and called it PSP2, I'd have been all over it. And the lack of UMD conversion is like giving the finger to your existing install base. Terrible move.

in terms of hardware the PSPGo imo is great but when it comes to price and software support sony totaly messed it up. first they start off with a $250 dollar price tag considering its probably cheaper to make than the $170 dollar PSP then they completely forget the fact that many gamers have a bunch of games on UMD and they basically say screw you to those gamers by not having any UMD conversion program. it said a system when so much potential is bogged down by simple things sony could have easily fixed

Why does anything deserve such a thing? I mean seriously we knew it was gonna be a failure, but this is the possibility of future consoles. Not anytime soon. But it is a possible thing. I mean what's life without taking a chance? :?
