The PSPgo is a successful platform for Sony and met sales expectations, SCEA senior vice president Peter Dille has insisted.

I got one at launch and still have it.
Great system and super portable.
Not so comfortable for big hands playing for long sessions though.
Have good memories of Peace Walker on the Go, pun intended.
I believe there is some prototype of a hand held console with dedicated GPU that can run modern AAA games too.
PSP has such great games, it's such a shame Vita didn't do as well, I still use mine I bought in 2014. I still would love an upgraded handheld if just for ports, though.
I've enjoyed my PSP a lot, too bad they're not making handhelds anymore.
That time when Skype was available on PSP was awesome.

it's more prevalent now, so I don't think it's the same thing. I've been all digital since 2014, so if the next gen of consoles has a discless SKU as well as one for physical media, I would likely get the discless one.
Sony at least had the decency to put in 16GB storage in the PSP Go which was more space than what other models with disc drives had out of the box to compensate for the lack of physical media.
Microsoft didn’t even bother putting in a 4TB HDD into this thing to make it more enticing over a standard model. This whole things reeks of halfassed decisions just to see how the market reacts to an all digital device.
Its far more relevant now and could EASILY be a popular choice...
but just not at that price
Sony's collapsible PSP model was cut down before it could even reach its prime, and it might have been their best handheld. Here's why the PSP Go is missed.
here we go again......
and What The hell was that?
Sony made a profit on every PSP Go sold to stores, plain and simple.
Unless they overproduced them (which I'm guessing they did not), and have a warehouse full of unsold units, the PSP Go succeeded as a market test, and economically.
I have a Go (and a 2000), and I prefer it to the 2000. The Go has convinced me that I do NOT want portable games in anything OTHER than digital format. I haven't bought a UMD since. Success in my book too.
it was an experiment, just that...
if they can use only digital ditribution on the psp2... NO
Sony gave its customer base and alternate. I hope the PSP2 has a DD option as well.
