Because unfortunately it's a re-design, as much as I would like a real PSP2.

Nah, I think Nintendo Wii takes the cake when talking about the worst name ever.

How does "i" mean "camera"?

The only reason they chose "i" was to finagle in on Apple's market.

Let x represent anything. The console is in the shape of a box. Xbox. Therefore, x multiplies box = ? I really did not know where I was going with this.

It's not a great name but it gets the point across and it won't be anything controversial like the Wii..i still remember the night the name was released.

Wii is actually good. Its creative and original. The "we" pronunciation is taken as a console that is played by a group and the "ii" is Japanese for "good."

I think that rumored DS successor the "WiiWii" takes the cake for worst name ever.

However, the PSP GO! i have to agree, is the worst official name for a handheld.

I think the general concensus is that it's not the worst name in the history of gaming.

No, 3DO is a worse name, we know some games are in 3D, what's the point? Along with Apple Bandai Pippin, yes, that name is real.

millwrought
I 100% agree but cleary PSPGo is stupider Just what makes PSPGo more go than older PSPs? Do u ppl think if PSGo was the 1st name of the handheld, will it be more acceptable? Think about it, during the early stages of a Sony handheld and currently, who desribed the handheld as a Playstation to GO

The Go is probably a Japanese word. Much like Wii. We see Wii, but the Japanese see something else.

Any idea what it means in Japan? While we wait for a translation, lets breakdown PSPGo somemore. Just how much PSPGo should cost considering it has 16GB flash memory?

It took till page 3 for someone to know the answer to this question... jeeze... that is amazing..

Xbox = original concept of 'Direct X box'...

everyone does know what Direct X is I hope :)
